Protects critical infrastructure from alerts but GUI needs improvement
If we consider a default setup without customization, I would rate it a ten out of ten. However, the initial setup can be time-consuming for specific requirements needing customization, possibly requiring extensive fine-tuning. With the detailed and specific features we require, along with the need for tuning and customization, the process can indeed take several weeks. Allot DDoS Secure's case of integration with existing infrastructure is not too hard.

Advanced protection has optimized web and API performance while reducing infrastructure costs
From the features perspective and functionality-wise, there are areas of Radware DDoS that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future. Version upgrades are being provided, but they should communicate with clients about these new features being available so clients can test them and deploy them on the disaster recovery system before moving to the live segment. There should be a test report that will provide confidence that the version is stable and everything will work properly. Last time we faced an issue with a version upgrade, and we faced extensive troubleshooting with littile bit more time in the troubleshooting process. It turned out to be a small issue that was resolved by the engineering team. I would like to see improved support from Radware DDoS. Sometimes in support, we have to log the call with their support partners rather than Radware. After ten years of experience, we know exactly what the issue is, and we understand that it cannot be handled by their support channel or partner level. Radware team always asks us to go through the partners, but sometimes we have found that the issue cannot be handled by the partners. After the partners fail to resolve the issue, it goes to the Radware team. At that time, one to two days of required timeline gets increased by one to two days. If Radware came into immediate action and resolved the issue rather than relying on their service partners, it would be better. After ten years, we have the knowledge of troubleshooting, and we understand that the issues we are facing with Radware can only be resolved by their team. However, due to their policy, they insist we move through the partner first, and only after the partner fails do they escalate to Radware. During that troubleshooting period of twenty-four to forty-eight hours, we remain in an unresolved state with the reported issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has good architecture, concepts, and diagrams to protect end customers. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and pattern creation are its most valuable features. The tool's alerting systems protect critical infrastructure."
"Zero-day protection happens automatically because the initial steps only require us to create the policy for filtering, but after that, it continuously does its job without any manual intervention."
"Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service has positively impacted my organization by reducing lesser attacks, which has improved the availability of applications and infrastructure."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"The initial setup is not complex; it's very straightforward and very easy, and the configuration process, as well, is excellent and very straightforward so a company shouldn't face any issues when they are implementing the solution."
"SSL-based mitigation from DDoS attacks is good from their side. They are capable of preventing SSL-based attacks with certifications and everything loaded onto them."
"Overall, I'm happy with this solution and what it has offered so far."
"Radware DDoS is the best tool, as it protects our applications just as we intended it to."
"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."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"I had some trouble in the registration account prior to deployment, but it was fixed. They were not very fast or responsive, however. It took about one week to resolve the issue."
"The APSolute Vision feature needs improvement."
"There are no issues on the hardware front, but on the management front, the APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
"The solution needs to improve its communication with users."
"Right now, we have DefensePro 6. The only complaint I have is that SSL inspection, when activated, consumes a lot of resources on the machine. We are currently reviewing a possible change to DefensePro X, the new version, which has a separate module with its processors."
"I would like to have more granular steps according to protected bandwidth, so the granularity should be better."
"The speed and quality of Radware DDoS's support should be improved."
"I believe Radware DDoS could be improved for cloud deployments with more granular controls that could provide valuable gains for the company, especially by verifying whether the client is genuine or not with additional metrics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I didn't check pricing of other providers in depth but verified with two, and found Radware to be significantly cheaper compared to F5."
"Radware's switch to a pay-as-you-go model last year provides great flexibility."
"Radware DefensePro is a bit on the expensive side."
"Radware DefensePro is expensive when considering the issue we have and its limitations."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"The pricing is okay, and I do not have any concerns about the price."
"The licensing cost is about $50,000."
