Advanced protection has secured critical web workloads and provides clear traffic visibility
From a security perspective, there remains a security loophole, as some browsers in the market can bypass the Turnstile solution, which requires approximately 40 seconds to do so. From a performance perspective, this is acceptable. We also tried Google reCAPTCHA, and that can also be bypassed. From a security perspective, I would say neither solution is completely secured. Regarding uptime, we have faced a couple of incidents due to Cloudflare in recent years, so I cannot say we receive 100% uptime for our region. We sometimes face challenges, including downtime and other issues. As a result, we are not receiving 100% uptime from Cloudflare's solution. Since most of our customers are in this region, we need alternatives. We need something more competitive than Cloudflare. Unfortunately, in Bangladesh, Cloudflare has three points of presence already, and we cannot find any other solution provider in Bangladesh as an alternative, which presents another challenge. Competitor solutions have more attack signatures, which ensure better security compared to Cloudflare's predefined configurations. Customers do not have options to modify any configuration parameters in Cloudflare, whereas other competitor solutions, such as F5 Distributed Cloud, allow customers to tune configurations according to their requirements. Cloudflare could improve in this area. Additionally, regarding visibility, Cloudflare has static visibility, but they could adopt dynamic graph features for their customers.

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.

"If it was not for CloudFlare, I would have to hire a dedicated resource to manage all this for me."
"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 ensures both security and performance. It achieves this by learning behavior patterns and providing protection without blocking normal traffic."
"Radware DDoS has been very good in mitigating advanced DDoS threats, such as burst, DNS attacks, floods, and web scraping, while ensuring that legitimate users are not affected during a DDoS attack."
"Radware DDoS has positively impacted my organization by sorting unwanted traffic, specifically malicious traffic targeting the applications, and it has taken the burden off the perimeter firewall during incidents."
"Radware DDoS has impacted my organization positively by providing robust DDoS protection, offering excellent security and support, and serving as an effective solution that detects attacks and mitigates them, which has allowed us to concentrate on other areas."

Cons

"The pricing could be improved."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"We had to do a lot of digging and back-and-forth with technical support for specific use cases, and it might be helpful to have more screencasts or screenshots for common situations."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"I think they have failed with their technical support."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"The installation was complex until I learned what I had to learn."
"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable."
"The solution needs a bit more functionality."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"I would like to have more granular steps according to protected bandwidth, so the granularity should be better."
"In terms of the defense devices, I would like to see an improvement within the implementation and upgrade phases."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"They need to increase the limit of devices that we can manage."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."

"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"We are using the free version."

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"Radware's Cloud DDoS Protection Service stands out for its competitive pricing, making it a strong contender in our decision."
"Radware's switch to a pay-as-you-go model last year provides great flexibility."
"The pricing is okay, and I do not have any concerns about the price."
"Licensing of Radware is quite simple and straightforward, while Arbor DDos is a bit complicated."
"The Radware DefensePro was bundled together with our security platform."
"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The initial cost is over $100,000 for one appliance."
"The pricing is based on the amount of network traffic and the number of packets being inspected."
