An easy-to-use tool with great GUI

The product's initial setup phase was really easy. There is a lot of time involved in the testing phase and other processes related to the area of deployment, so it may take up to two weeks to deploy the solution. The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. One person is enough to take care of the deployment phase of the product. The person involved in the deployment phase needs to better understand topologies when dealing with Fortinet.

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.
