A highly stable solution that can be used for load balancing

Pros

"The most valuable feature of A10 Thunder TPS is load balancing."

Cons

"The solution is a little expensive."

Enables us to mitigate almost all attacks we detect, and with reduced manual intervention

Pros

"The primary benefit that we see from their systems is that their filtering technology has the ability to detect and drop the malicious traffic from the legitimate traffic with a high success rate. That, in combination with the very small effort needed to manage their systems, are the two most important benefits to us."

Protects our customers against attacks. The upgrade process is inefficient and needs improvement.

Pros

"We selected the solution because of its programmable automated defense using RESTful API. We didn't want to connect to the box. We wanted to be able to do some automation. We wanted to have our own portal because we wanted to connect our customers to our own UI using the A10 API. It has been good and exactly what we need. "

Cons

"The upgrade process for the boxes is not efficient. We have to go through the A10 aGalaxy where we have issues, like timeouts. They told me it was fixed in the latest version, but I tried to do it on the Portal and it is not working all the time."

Product discussed: v3.2.4 P1
Enabled us to ramp off our upstream cloud-scrubbing provider and handle all attacks on our own

Pros

"Based on previous equipment that we had, it's amazing that this device can do what it can do in a 1U form factor. The devices that we have right now have never gone over capacity and we've actually mitigated some pretty large attacks."

Cons

"We currently do not use the solution's machine-learning-powered Zero-day Automated Protection because of an issue with it... We also use the aGalaxy platform, which is a management platform for the TPS devices. The issue is that some TPS features were added at the TPS level but weren't carried over to aGalaxy, and we manage all of our devices through aGalaxy. So we can't actually use some of the new features that are available on the TPS because that functionality doesn't exist in aGalaxy. That is one of my biggest complaints."

It has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack

Pros

"Thunder TPS has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack. They have engineers available to respond. "

Cons

"I rate Thunder TPS seven out of 10 for scalability. "

Eliminates the need for our engineers to spend time mitigating attacks

Pros

"The response time to an attack is instant. We've used some outsourced solutions in the past, out in the cloud, that weren't so quick. But it's all within our control now. We control how fast it mitigates."

Cons

"The last issue we had to contact them about was just a question of a false-positive. The A10 system wasn't supposed to decide what is a false-positive. So if we send it good traffic, it's supposed to just pass that good traffic through. But we opened this last ticket because the A10 did block some of the good traffic. Their support had to tweak it a little bit, but it wasn't anything that took a long time."

Useful for protecting and supporting users against attacks

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is very simple."

Cons

"The problem here is when you buy another box from A10, they want to put Thunder TPS to run, and it works okay, after which we cannot block it for another solution to be used, which is a problem for me where improvements are needed."
