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…

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

"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 DDoS protection features are valuable."
"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."
"This is a hybrid solution."
"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."
"SmartWall devices occupy only one-fourth of the width of a rack unit, making them very easy to install."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
"Radware DefensePro's most valuable feature lies in its ability to mitigate non-traffic attacks."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"The product is very effective and performs well on devices."
"Its functionality is very good."
"It's very good at protecting users from DDoS attacks. It's the leader in this domain."
 

Cons

"The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities."
"It could use support in Spanish."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be more reporting."
"There's room for improvement in the clarity of the feedback provided by the command service in the CLI."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"I would like to see more graphics within the dashboard. Right now, you are required to buy tools in order to have graphical representation for your monitoring."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
"The dashboard could be updated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Corero is affordable."
"Its price is normal."
"Licensing of Radware is quite simple and straightforward, while Arbor DDos is a bit complicated."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"It is expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"The cost for maintenance is cheaper because the majority of the deployments using the solution are in areas where cost of maintenance is also lower."
"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 licensing cost is about $50,000."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
