Helps detect attacks in real-time, and is stable, but the cloud scrubbing capabilities need improvement
Radware DefensePro can defend against Layer 3 and Layer 4 DDoS attacks but it is not capable of protecting against Layer 7 attacks. Radware DefensePro suffers from a high false positive rate of 25 percent and occasionally blocks legitimate traffic, requiring manual unblocking. Additionally, it has been known to miss some threats. We have not seen a reduction in downtime associated with attacks by using DefensePro. Radware DefensePro needs to improve its cloud scrubbing capabilities. We have discontinued their cloud services due to poor performance. The inability to access local technical support during our business hours poses a significant inconvenience. This necessitates extra devices for continuous operation until we can speak to their support. We would appreciate the availability of a team within our time zone for optimal service.

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."
"Radware DefensePro is one of the best solutions for on-premise protection."
"All of our traffic has to pass through the appliance, so we can very quickly mitigate the attack. This is a very valuable feature. On top of that, it's not only volumetric attack protection that the solution offers, but also layer 7 attack protection as well."
"SSL-based mitigation from DDoS attacks is good from their side. They are capable of preventing SSL-based attacks with certifications and everything loaded onto them."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand."
"It has not gone down for a quite long time. It's working fine."
"The important features include automated protection and defense against many attacks, it's important that our networks are protected in the Radware cloud."
"The product integrates well with Cisco."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"There needs to be more reporting."
"We would like to have seven-layer functionality."
"There's room for improvement in the clarity of the feedback provided by the command service in the CLI."
"Radware DefensePro requires a continuous learning process. Using this technology, we can improve our network. Based on the different attack mechanisms, we use Radware DefensePro to provide security for our clients' networks very effectively."
"It would be ideal if they could expand protocol support to cover emerging communication standards and ensure comprehensive protection against diverse attack vectors."
"The solution needs a bit more functionality. It would be good if DefensePro could have anti-bot functionalities in order to stop bots like web scrapers from getting onto our customers’ network."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
"APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"Radware DefensePro is expensive when considering the issue we have and its limitations."
"Licensing of Radware is quite simple and straightforward, while Arbor DDos is a bit complicated."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
"The licensing cost is about $50,000."
"The price varies by use case and there are monthly and annual licensing options. If you deploy on-premise, there is an annual license with the amount dependent on the throughput you need and which features you will be using - i.e. IPS, behavioral, etc."
"Radware DefensePro is a bit on the expensive side."
"It is expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
