A solution requiring straightforward maintenance while remaining cost-effective compared to its competitors in the market
I am not in a position to speak about the areas where the solution needed improvement because I resigned during the implementation phase. At that time, the implementation was ongoing, and everything seemed to be going well. Using the solution, our team managed to transfer a couple of routers through a few areas. However, I believe the migration is still ongoing. Nonetheless, the first phase of the implementation was successful before my departure. There was a certain level of performance degradation in the solution, which I don't know if it can be tuned. This is because I was working for a short period on the solution. In my experience, it is an area that can be improved while also considering the stability and scalability aspects of the solution. If one wants to scale up, then one needs to change their plan. However, the thing is, one can always go for the larger scale based on one's anticipation of future traffic.

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

"Cloud Diversion is another good feature packaged with the whole solution. When attack traffic is detected, Cloud Diversion triggers to automatically route our prefix to Nexusguard’s scrubbing center, ensuring that all attack traffic is dropped in the shortest time possible."
"Nexusguard has given us confidence that we are protected against any outside attacks."
"The support team was helpful."
"Nexusguard has exponentially improved the availability of our services because we don't have to worry much about any threats or DDoS attacks towards our services."
"Filters can be customized depending on the characteristics of the attack traffic. This feature has made it easier for Nexusguard's SOC team to further isolate any specific attack that can't be blocked by pre-configured mitigation."
"Based on the support received for implementation, I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten."
"The managed service allows us to confidently rely on Nexusguard’s professional team to take relevant actions as and when required to make sure DDoS attacks are successfully mitigated, ensuring 100% uptime of our service."
"Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service has positively impacted my organization by reducing lesser attacks, which has improved the availability of applications and infrastructure."
"I would recommend Radware DDoS Protection Service fully because I have observed improvements in bandwidth speed."
"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... It is very dynamic and helps us know when an attack occurred, how long it lasted, and what type of attack it was."
"Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service has been effective at mitigating all kinds of DDoS attacks in my organization."
"It's very good at protecting users from DDoS attacks. It's the leader in this domain."
"The reporting is very good and provides us with a comprehensive description of where attacks are emanating from."
"The solution is stable and reliable; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
 

Cons

"One of the features that should be added to the next release is report generation. Currently, reports can be downloaded every month and are only available at the beginning of each month. It would be nice to generate the reports based on specific dates that we prefer and not have to wait until the next month for the current month’s report."
"There was a certain level of performance degradation in the solution, which I don't know if it can be tuned...In my experience, it is an area that can be improved while also considering the stability and scalability aspects of the solution."
"One of the features that should be added to the next release is report generation."
"The mitigation scope of Origin Protection is not fully efficient as there could be delays in activating the countermeasures."
"One thing that we would like to improve from them is to provide more training to SOC team for them to have a deep understanding of the solution so that they would always be ready to answer anything without the need to escalate queries to senior personnel."
"The solution must provide features for the post-processing of the traffic type and the traffic quality."
"The quality of first-level support might not be so high at times, especially if it is a technical team that is working or managing the DDoS environment as a client."
"Radware DDoS can be improved by increasing their PoPs. Wherever the DDoS attacks come from, it should be blocked to the nearest area, to the nearest countries."
"On the appliance, maybe the hardware could be improved."
"The rise of generative AI and machine learning in cyberattacks demands more advanced defense strategies."
"This solution may not cover all of the requirements in situations for which I am unfamiliar, and there is always room for improvement."
"Their Cyber Security Controller portal, including its GUI and dashboard, could be more intuitive so CXOs can easily understand them."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"There needs to be more reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one represents a cheap option, and ten represents an expensive option, I would rate the solution a seven in terms of cost."
"Radware Cloud DDoS is very expensive."
"Radware's Cloud DDoS Protection Service stands out for its competitive pricing, making it a strong contender in our decision."
"The licensing cost is about $50,000."
"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price was well over six figures."
"It is not expensive. It is medium range. The pricing is good, as we recently renewed our licenses from Radware."
"The cost for maintenance is cheaper because the majority of the deployments using the solution are in areas where cost of maintenance is also lower."
"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."
