We performed a comparison between F5 Silverline Managed Services and Radware DefensePro based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's a good front end for public infrastructure"
"Its flexibility is the most valuable because it is a managed service. The good part is that you don't need to set it up. It just needs DNS routing, which is the easiest thing. Our client had Akamai for certain websites because they were using CDN features. They had NetScaler on the internal zone, F5 AWAFs on the data centers, and no WAF at all in the cloud. One of the main activities of the project was to move all these policies into a single WAF so that we could control and use that as a choke point. That exercise itself was very easy because it was a managed service and F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall does that for you. That's the best thing about F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall. It is easy to apply policies on-premises. If you have AWAF on-premises and you want to replicate some policies on F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, other than the policies that it applies by itself, it is easy because you have a team that supports it. F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall works perfectly fine. It pretty much does everything that an Advanced WAF on-premises should do."
"The product’s UI is easy to understand."
"F5 technical support is really good."
"We have a lot of businesses that we put behind this solution, and it has really helped us in terms of monitoring the logs and incidents."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is its cloud-native functionality and the high level of protection it provides."
"A flexible affordable solution for defense against DDos attacks."
"The reporting is very good and provides us with a comprehensive description of where attacks are emanating from."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates."
"The product is very effective and performs well on devices."
"It offers valuable insights into ongoing and past attacks, aiding in post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity strategy."
"The product integrates well with Cisco."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The navigation is difficult to use."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by adding features that Palo Alto has."
"In terms of the scalability, this part is always so confusing because they are checking for packet count. Also, after an attack, they said that the throughput must be from gigabits but then I check my bandwidth and it is already done in gigabits. So it is a little bit confusing."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"The price is high in comparison to other products."
"The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"As a service provider, we are expecting the multi-tenancy feature on the dashboard and reporting side. It will help share reports with customers in real-time. They can directly see them online. We are working with their team on API integration with our portal. We will be able to achieve that, but it will take some time."
"We would like to have seven-layer functionality."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"I had some trouble in the registration account prior to deployment, but it was fixed. They were not very fast or responsive, however. It took about one week to resolve the issue."

I highly recommend Cloudflare. We switched from Akamai Prolexic to Cloudflare and couldn't be happier. We also got the worlds fastest DNS and speeded up our site load times with the 200+ edge locations near to our customers.
You can have a look to Imperva Cloud WAF, the anti-DDoS mitigation is under 1s and works very well. I observed a lot of DDoS attacks that were well managed (even not seen by the customer) by Imperva, I can recommend it (try it with a trial, you'll be able to have your own opinion).
