In terms of Arbor DDoS's reporting and analytics, Arbor DDoS is superior to Radware, especially when comparing it to the Radware model which I used previously.

We use almost all the features of Arbor DDoS, but it really depends on the customer’s requirements, so I can’t specify exactly which features we use. However, many customers appreciate the basic DDoS protection, especially those without specific protection needs. For example, financial companies benefit from the cloud DDoS protection. It’s a straightforward solution that effectively meets their needs.

The feature I find most valuable is the packet capture, which beautifully shows the communication between the client and the server, identifying potential malicious activity.

They also have limited sizes of the boxes. Different sizes are needed because some customers are very small while others are very big, such as ISPs, so this categorization should be available.

Arbor DDoS has some difficult pricing rules. For many different small features, we have to pay additional fees for every small feature.

This is a disadvantage of Arbor DDoS, as it operates merely as a flow collector, generating alerts only after a violation occurs.

Based on my experience and feedback from colleagues, Arbor can make better use of the product because you have to spend a lot of time finding information in a huge number of papers.

I think Arbor DDoS needs improvement in areas where competitors like S5, Redver, or NETSCOUT offer web application firewall functionality or dedicated web application firewall devices. Arbor lacks these features, which is a significant disadvantage. Yes, I would like to see these features introduced in Arbor as well. Regarding real-time detection capabilities, Arbor DDoS works very well. We and our customers are very satisfied with its performance. However, it would benefit from adding Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities to reach a larger customer base.

Support in Argentina is not so good. Although the team is good, they are not fast, and they lack the skills to manage dynamic attackers.

With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved.
