A highly stable solution that can be used for load balancing
We have our own data center, and we perform load balancing for a lot of internal and external services using A10 Thunder TPS. For some users, we use A10 Thunder TPS for HTTP protocol. We perform load balancing for HTTPS on A10 Thunder TPS and others with too much workload we have to do on the…

Effect local attack handling, intuitive interface, and scalable
We have been using Corero for government customers.  Corero stands out from other market solutions because of its ability to operate within the infrastructure with a latency of one microsecond. It can quickly detect and respond to threats, unlike other approaches that rely on traffic patterns and…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The GUI is very use-friendly. You can configure it through CLI or GUI, they give you an option to choose. It's a good solution in terms of the appliance itself. It's very light compared to other brands that offer DDoS solutions."
"The solution is easy to use and implement in terms of operations."
"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."
"The solution's support is one of the coolest things about the product. I"
"The solution has reduced the amount of manual intervention required during an attack. We have the inline solution and when it comes to the customers that we have on it, it has saved us some troubleshooting time."
"We can keep track of all the customer's requirements. We can forecast our trails and we can forecast our overall financial things."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very simple."
"It is a good solution. Its vendor support is the most valuable. It is simple and works well if you have Juniper MX routers."
"The most valuable feature of Corero is its ability to handle smaller attacks in terms of the amount of volume and time. You can handle almost 100 perfect of the attacks locally."
"It is an agnostic and transparent inline platform, which means that the maximum visibility of the symmetric and asymmetric traffic is available, even allowing bidirectional detection of the attack."
"The DDoS protection features are valuable."
"This is a hybrid solution."
"SmartWall devices occupy only one-fourth of the width of a rack unit, making them very easy to install."
 

Cons

"They have a cloud scrubbing feature that redirects the traffic if the on-prem appliance can't accommodate a large amount of traffic but it's not available where we are."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of fail-open."
"We have had some issues with implementation. So, it is the only area that needs improvement."
"I rate Thunder TPS seven out of 10 for scalability."
"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."
"The solution is a little expensive."
"I would like for them to develop an advanced reporting feature."
"It is very difficult to implement. It should be made a bit easier to implement. There is also a lack of resources on the internet. They need to develop more resources."
"The approach taken by Corero is to partner with other organizations in order to address volumetric attacks that cannot be handled by the hardware installed in the infrastructure. Corero does not have a solution for these attacks, so they are looking for partners to help them manage them. This approach is supplemented by local hardware, but the main focus is on the partnerships. It would be beneficial to have a more complete solution."
"It could use support in Spanish."
"Lacks international presence."
"Juniper is known in our country, but it is not very popular. There is also not enough information about Corero. Our enterprise and financial sectors don't know about this solution. They need to provide more information and do more marketing for this solution in our country."
"The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one is low price and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a ten."
"We may need to pay fifty percent more if we purchase other solutions. For the payments made to A10 Thunder TPS, we have received three-year support."
"We did a price survey, and compared to other solutions, A10 Thunder TPS wasn't cheap."
"The financials are always a challenge with this type of technology. That's not really a product-functionality thing but it's the area where we push A10 the most."
"Pricing is very reasonable."
"We had a customer who was down for six hours and the loss of revenue for him was three times the price he was paying for us per year. The customer just said, "I don't care about paying you because on only one attack I saved money. It's three times better than losing money.""
"Pricing was much higher with Arbor (APS) for the same type of solution."
"Its price is normal."
"The price of Corero is affordable."
