Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."
"The technical support of Arbor DDoS is good."
"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
"There were huge attacks in October, around 62 attacks at 30 gigabits per second, at one of our banks. We used Arbor DDoS to mitigate these attacks, and it performed great."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"The solution is scalable."
"The analysis is very fast."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"They have many different options with Palo Alto WildFire and the set-up is quick. If you have all the details in hand, it does not take more than 15 minutes to deploy a firewall."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"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."
"I would also like more visibility into their bad actor feeds, their fingerprint feeds. We try to be good stewards of the internet, so if there are attacks, or bad actors within our networks, if there were an easier way for us to find them, we could stop them from doing their malicious activity, and at the same time save money."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"When it comes to some false positives, we need to tweak the system from time to time. There is room for improvement when it comes to the actual mitigation because of some false positives."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"The initial setup was complex."
