While Radware DefensePro serves us well as the best on-prem solution currently available, its full range of security features falls short of our needs. We believe a hybrid or long-term solution is necessary, and unfortunately, DefensePro is not keeping pace. Hence, we adopted Cloudflare's solution a year and a half ago. However, after three years with their regular product, we discontinued their Discovery Center due to its niche nature and switched to Cloudflare's Discovery solution. Our present challenge lies in the integration issue between our on-prem hardware and Cloudflare. Lacking an on-prem solution themselves, Cloudflare cannot resolve this directly. This incompatibility currently represents our primary obstacle.

Radware DefensePro plays a vital role in safeguarding our network by protecting us from DDoS threats and attacks. It acts as the first line of defense, meticulously tracking incoming traffic to our website. This traffic is then passed to flow detectors within DefensePro's various defense flows, where it's rigorously checked and mitigated if necessary. It's important for our compliance and privacy requirements that DefensePro doesn't decrypt our traffic or require we share certificates. I would rate DefensePro's ability to detect DDoS attacks in real-time a nine out of ten. DefensePro has reduced the number of false positives by 100 percent. DefensePro has reduced downtime associated with attacks by 100 percent.

The platform for administration and review of attacks that are occurring or have occurred is very dynamic and easy to use and administer. As a service provider, we use the SecOps dashboard feature. That's where we check the time of attacks to see if an attack is happening at the moment or if it has already happened, and we gather information such as how long the attack took. It is very dynamic and helps us know when an attack occurred, how long it lasted, and what type of attack it was. With this functionality, we have the information we need at hand. We know what is happening in real time and what has happened during the day. We review the dashboard for control issues, and we generate and maintain controls with antivirus attack themes. For monitoring and reporting metrics, the dashboards are very useful. We generate controls for DDoS attacks monthly, and it makes that very easy. In addition, it helps us understand what happened. It's so easy to see what is happening, both in real time and at the time the reports or alerts are generated. In our organization, the SecOps dashboards are managed by technical staff only. Other people in the company do not have access to it. But if they were shown to a person who is more administrative or managerial, they would understand them because they are easy to understand. I have shown certain screenshots to senior staff, and they were easily able to comprehend them. With this tool, you can express yourself in front of a person who is not involved in IT. Its ability to detect attacks in real time is very effective. It features comprehensive automation because the signatures update themselves automatically. Plus, it can detect Zero-day attacks and possible attacks that are not yet known. That has also been of great value to us.

“The most important thing for me right now in the Radware portfolio is that Radware went to the cloud and has a flexible model based on virtual machines that can be delivered in our data center model, which could be delivered via the public cloud. That’s the big advantage of Radware, from my perspective.” A Senior Product Manager - ICT Solutions, Marketing, and Development of Cybersecurity at a comms service provider

“The important features include automated protection and defense against many attacks. It's important that our networks are protected in the Radware cloud.” John P., Network Architect at Corporación Nacional de Telecomunicaciones
