Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
