Behavioral analytics and AI automation enhance security and performance
It provides protection for network applications and infrastructure level, and the best part is the behavioral-based detection that Radware provides us, along with real-time signature creation. We also have some applications where we have botnets running, and it provides protection against them. Web DDoS targets the application layer, which is layer seven of the OSI model. For that, we focus on the Web DDoS technique for bot-based attacks because we have many applications where bots are running. We also face many random URL attacks every day, and it protects against malicious or suspicious random URL attacks. It ensures both security and performance. It achieves this by learning behavior patterns and providing protection without blocking normal traffic. These are some of the features I am particularly satisfied with in this product.

Senior Software Engineer at OmniTier Inc
Improved mobile app development and user experience through optimization and security
The most valuable aspects include the optimization of application performance by optimizing API calls for a smoother user experience and faster load times. Furthermore, I restructured our code base to establish a more efficient development workflow. During my tenure, I integrated various security features for mobile applications, such as JWT tokens for secure authentication and data encryption using AES algorithms. I also focused on secure storage options, secure coding practices, and platform-specific security compliance, like Android's SafeNet and iOS Secure Enclave.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The DDoS protection that the solution provides is its most valuable feature."
"Radware DDoS is very effective in mitigating distributed denial-of-service attacks, the solution is very mature, and since Radware DDoS can detect attacks within 18 seconds, it really helps the organization against those types of attacks."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"Recently, our company has been facing difficulties due to attacks originating from the Russian Federation. DefenseFlow has proven to be a highly effective solution in protecting our customers."
"Radware DDoS Protection Service is valued for its multi-layered defense protection, always-on and on-demand service, zero-day protection with adaptive behavioral-based mitigation, DNS and infrastructure protection, and SSL attack mitigation."
"The key strength of Radware's Cloud DDoS Protection Service is its behavior engine, which uses anomaly detection to identify and stop DDoS attacks."
"The most important part is that Radware DDoS integrates seamlessly and provides anomaly identification, real-time notifications, and security against DDoS attacks. It also helps us with multi-layer volumetric attacks. It shields us from global botnet threats."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Uplynk platform for streaming purposes."
"The customer support and service responsiveness were excellent."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
 

Cons

"I want to improve the blocking time; it should be within 10 seconds because 18 seconds allows multiple transactions in the financial industry."
"Their Cyber Security Controller portal, including its GUI and dashboard, could be more intuitive so CXOs can easily understand them."
"APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
"Radware DefenseFlow should add new features and algorithms to make it efficient."
"I want to improve the blocking time; it should be within 10 seconds because 18 seconds allows multiple transactions in the financial industry."
"Customization could be improved."
"They need to increase the limit of devices that we can manage."
"There's room for improvement in the clarity of the feedback provided by the command service in the CLI."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"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 initial cost is over $100,000 for one appliance."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
"Its pricing is competitive. The licensing model is also very competitive. It is customizable, so there is no issue at all. They have given us whatever we have asked in terms of the pricing model and SLA."
"Radware's switch to a pay-as-you-go model last year provides great flexibility."
"I didn't check pricing of other providers in depth but verified with two, and found Radware to be significantly cheaper compared to F5."
"Be careful about the options because to have all the features can be very expensive."
"When I modeled it out, we are spending somewhere between $600 to $800 a month with Verizon EdgeCast."
"The product is cheaper compared to other solutions."
