We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Fortinet FortiDDoS 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."Valuable features include simple and centralized management of user access and capabilities, as well as Web 2.0 interactive attack alerting, traffic visualization, and mitigation service control."
"Using standard BGP, NetFlow and SNMP ensure wide compatibility. There are also peering traffic reports that can help identify upstream peering opportunities. The ATLAS aggregation service allows us to contribute to the global DDoS data and benefit from overall trends."
"It has an easy-to-understand GUI...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"It's very flexible and we can easily deploy it to our network. It's very user-friendly. We can do everything via the web interface and troubleshoot easily from the CLI. It's not complicated."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"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."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"Auto mitigation is a feature provided when DDoS is observed on any of link/customer (configured under auto mitigation). It automatically starts mitigation with default filters. In default filter mode, there could be an impact on the customer’s link,"
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"Implementation could be better."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"The upgrade process is mildly complex requiring treatment of the custom embedded OS separately from the application. The correlation of the underling OS to the application version can be easily missed."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"For troubleshooting problems, it's not so intuitive. It's not straightforward. This is the core of their kernel, so they need to improve it a little bit... In F5 I have full control of everything."
"Because we had some routers that were somewhat old, they were not integrated with Arbor. They did not support the NetFlow version that Arbor was running. That was a challenge. We had to upgrade the routers. Some backward-compatibility would be helpful."
"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 product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The web interface could be much better."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
