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."
"The best thing about Radware DDoS for me is that the solution is very accurate, the information and the different types of graphics and data are very important, and it is easy to operate and to understand the solution in my case."
"The solution is stable and reliable; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"I would recommend Radware DDoS to other users because in security, there are many layers of protection, and this is one of the most exposed regarding the internet."
"The tool's machine learning and artificial intelligence help to prevent attacks by analyzing real-time traffic."
"I've been using this solution for the past two and a half years at my company, and I’m pleased to share that we’ve successfully achieved all of our use cases with their services."
"The best feature is the auto mitigation of the DefensePro solution created by Radware."
"Radware's support is first class."
"The solution provides good monitoring and a user-friendly dashboard."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"Multiple times errors and issues show that legitimate traffic can be dropped, as the system is not understanding the particular customer's ports."
"I suggest improvements to the user interface to make it easier to use and to find the necessary data for analysis."
"There's room for improvement in the clarity of the feedback provided by the command service in the CLI."
"Last time we faced an issue with a version upgrade, and we faced extensive troubleshooting with one to two months wasted in the troubleshooting process."
"Their Cyber Security Controller portal, including its GUI and dashboard, could be more intuitive so CXOs can easily understand them."
"Pricing has room for improvement. It is somewhat inconvenient for us because the new features that are introduced are pricey and are just add-ons to the original or baseline license."
"There should be some extra layer of security and a method of advanced rate limiting. We can limit the number of IPs or URLs per session and per country. There should be improved bot management integration that mitigates bot-based DDoS attacks completely."
"Radware DDoS is not stable. I have encountered stability issues such as performance issues, network timeout with ESP, slowness per regions, and no CDN feature which gives us a clear picture."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price was well over six figures."
"The licensing cost is about $50,000."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"Radware's switch to a pay-as-you-go model last year provides great flexibility."
"Radware DefensePro is expensive when considering the issue we have and its limitations."
