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.

Users have experienced comprehensive protection against DDoS threats while enjoying seamless integration

The most valuable feature of Arbor DDoS is that it is based in most of the ISPs all over the world, and Egyptian ISPs are one of them. If a customer who is getting internet connectivity from one of the ISPs has an Arbor at the end, it will be integrated with the ISP Arbor. It's some sort of closing all the cycle with Arbor DDoS, from the ISP sides and from your side as a customer. Traffic analysis with Arbor DDoS is very good; it is brilliant. They act in a different way compared to others, and the vendor support is very good. The main benefits Arbor DDoS provides to users include stopping DDoS attacks, which is the biggest nightmare for all customers.

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."

"It's very flexible and we can easily deploy it to our network. It's very user-friendly. We can do everything via the web interface and troubleshoot easily from the CLI. It's not complicated."

"Arbor DDoS is easy to use, provides effective blocking of DDoS attacks, and can be used for DNS, web, and main servers. Additionally, this solution is far easier to operate than others solutions, such as Fortinet DDoS."

"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."

"The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."

"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."

"The solution looks into volumetric attacks and gets them resolved."

"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."

"It provides packet capture and we can block or whitelist whichever IPs we need to. Whatever traffic we want to block - and we get IPs from internal teams and from national teams - we block at the Arbor level only, because if it gets to the firewall then firewall bandwidth will be taken."

More Arbor DDoS pros

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."

"When it comes to some false positives, we need to tweak the system from time to time. There is room for improvement when it comes to the actual mitigation because of some false positives."

"Because we had some routers that were somewhat old, they were not integrated with Arbor. They did not support the NetFlow version that Arbor was running. That was a challenge. We had to upgrade the routers. Some backward-compatibility would be helpful."

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

"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."

"I would also like more visibility into their bad actor feeds, their fingerprint feeds. We try to be good stewards of the internet, so if there are attacks, or bad actors within our networks, if there were an easier way for us to find them, we could stop them from doing their malicious activity, and at the same time save money."

"The solution needs to enhance its features to compete with other tools."

"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."

"The implementation should be made easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."

"The licensing of a complete Arbor solution, including fire-walling and unified site management, can get expensive."

"I'm a technical guy. But I know it's expensive compared to its competitors. After you have the on-premise solution, for your solution to be effective you have to subscribe to an "upper level," so there's another cost. There is also a subscription to cloud services, which is another cost."

"I don't know about the pricing details as our company's service provider offers us the solution as an inbuilt feature within the internet bandwidth they provide us."

"Regarding pricing, I would rate it as average. Arbor DDoS offers good value for money with our DDoS filter device. For higher protection needs, Arbor’s CloudMeter’s DDoS mitigation or hardware devices might be more expensive, but customers who need them are usually prepared for the cost and the additional resources required."

"The price of this solution is a little high in the African market, it should be lower."

"Arbor DDoS is quite expensive, but all these solutions are expensive because they deal with confidential information."

"I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the software and implement some patches."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap."
