Protects critical infrastructure from alerts but GUI needs improvement
We use the DPI feature to manage traffic during periods of peak usage. We also use it to defend against attacks rather than solely for traffic management The product has good architecture, concepts, and diagrams to protect end customers. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and pattern…

A critical solution for security, as it includes features that can automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks
Arbor DDoS offers security features that automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks. When a DDoS attack is detected targeting a specific IP, the Arbor device immediately becomes in line with the traffic and actively works to prevent the attack. This auto feature is one of the best aspects of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has good architecture, concepts, and diagrams to protect end customers. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and pattern creation are its most valuable features. The tool's alerting systems protect critical infrastructure."
"Arbor has a global ranking in reliability and credibility. They are very unique and can respond to a very wide scope of threats from their global deployment."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"It is fully mitigating the attacks. We've dealt with other ones where we didn't necessarily see that. The detection is very good. It's also very simple to use. Arbor is a single pane of glass, whereas with other solutions you might have a detection pane of glass and then have to go to a separate interface to deal with the mitigation. That single pane of glass makes it much simpler."
"We use almost all the features of Arbor DDoS, but it really depends on the customer’s requirements, so I can’t specify exactly which features we use. However, many customers appreciate the basic DDoS protection, especially those without specific protection needs. For example, financial companies benefit from the cloud DDoS protection. It’s a straightforward solution that effectively meets their needs."
"The artificial intelligence feature is most appreciated. This solution can lower the throughput and clear the traffic, which is something really important for us. It also provides good protection. It is user-friendly, and its integration has also been really fast. We have many critical applications, and it was easy to integrate Arbor DDoS with our website, mobile application, and web banking."
"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"There is always room for improvement for any product or service. If we can bring in more agility when deploying services, that is definitely a scope which we can work towards. Nowadays, everything is being offered as a service model. It is not that we have to deploy the physical hardware, many things move up to the cloud, or even can be delivered in the VNS form in the customer's environment as well. So, in that space, if we can add more features to make it more seamless for customers to use and make it available through some marketplace, not only at the hyperscalers, but also for any on-prem deployment, that definitely would be a big plus."
"A small improvement could be a better reporting system."
"Implementation could be better."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"There should be an automatic way to configure it to monitor traffic and decide which is an attack and which is not. In Arbor, you need to tweak and set all parameters manually, whereas in Check Point DDoS Protector, you can select the lowest parameters, and over the weeks, Check Point DDoS Protector will learn the traffic and you can then tighten some of the parameters to decide which traffic is regular and which is malicious."
"Sometimes it blocks legitimate traffic. If a legitimate user is trying to access the server continuously, the product suspects that this is a DoS traffic file. That is a case where it needs to improve. It needs machine-learning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"I don't know about the pricing details as our company's service provider offers us the solution as an inbuilt feature within the internet bandwidth they provide us."
"Pricing is slightly on the higher side."
"The price is a little high."
"It is an expensive product. I use this product for its different features."
"The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is expensive when compared to other tools."
"You need to find a way to get a good offering from Arbor by negotiating a price. That is the challenge."
"Because the solutions from competitors are very different, it's not easy to compare. However, the licensing from Arbor is clear and understandable and the pricing is reasonable when looking at the market, in general."
"I believe that the price of Arbor DDoS falls under the bracket of medium to high price."
