Protects critical infrastructure from alerts but GUI needs improvement
If we consider a default setup without customization, I would rate it a ten out of ten. However, the initial setup can be time-consuming for specific requirements needing customization, possibly requiring extensive fine-tuning. With the detailed and specific features we require, along with the need for tuning and customization, the process can indeed take several weeks. Allot DDoS Secure's case of integration with existing infrastructure is not too hard.

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."
"With the secure signature feature, the Radware DefensePro is a big assistance. It is a big help to our customers to improve their productivity and performance. The prompt response from the Radware team is definitely increasing in the new era."
"I am happy to see that we have not had any DDoS attacks. This solution has successfully protected us from attacks, and no one has been able to attack our network."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"Technologically simple and effective."
"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."
"A flexible affordable solution for defense against DDos attacks."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"Radware DefensePro's most valuable feature lies in its ability to mitigate non-traffic attacks."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"The APSolute Vision feature needs improvement."
"This solution may not cover all of the requirements in situations for which I am unfamiliar, and there is always room for improvement."
"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."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"There needs to be more reporting."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"Radware DefensePro is a bit on the expensive side."
"The pricing is based on the amount of network traffic and the number of packets being inspected."
"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 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."
"The Radware DefensePro was bundled together with our security platform."
"The pricing is okay, and I do not have any concerns about the price."
