Featured Reviews

Nick Wilsdon - PeerSpot reviewer
An easily scalable and stable product that provides exceptional support
The product should provide improved bot detection and management. The product should also provide support for code management. Everybody working in CDN is currently looking for ways to better manage code deployment with various authorization levels and synchronization with our lower environments. Matching up what's happening in CDN with what's happening on the origin regarding testing would always be useful.

Viral Dhimar - PeerSpot reviewer
Eliminated the need for manual intervention due to false positives
Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service goes beyond the essential Layer Three and Layer Four protection, which are practically mandatory these days. While basic Layer Three and Four defense is crucial, Layer Seven application DDoS protection is where it shines. This is even more important with the increasing reliance on cloud-based applications. The most promising feature we're considering implementing is container security. It offers superior protection by blocking threats directly at the container level, eliminating the need for a separate WAF. This means a container can sit in front of our application and handle Web DDoS mitigation, taking the burden off our traditional WAF. This approach has the potential to significantly improve overall security.

Pros

"Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly."

"Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service goes beyond the essential Layer Three and Layer Four protection, which are practically mandatory these days."
"DDoS Protection Service provides excellent defense in the cloud, and the implementation and migration are very straightforward."
"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 valuable feature is the controller that determines when and how traffic can be moved to the cloud."
"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."
 

Cons

"What I don't like about Fastly is that they charge a heavy price."
"Support is not that great."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned."

"The solution's pricing could be better."
"We heavily relied on Radware's technical team to ensure the proper setup and configuration of VPN tunnels for cloud mitigation."

"The rise of generative AI and machine learning in cyberattacks demands more advanced defense strategies."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable."
"Radware's management is very proactive, but Radware's lower-level staff is not proactive. You need to do a lot of follow-ups."
