Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Hamada Elewa - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

The product is highly stable and has valuable features, but it must provide more Layer 7 capabilities
We use the solution for DDoS protection in the routers The DDoS protection features are valuable. The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities. It must provide deep inspection features. I have been using the solution for ten years. The tool has high stability. I rate the stability a nine…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering, so it's a valuable tool."
"It's a great product because it's scalable, has great coverage, and is mature with good defenses against DDoS attacks."
"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"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."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"Using standard BGP, NetFlow and SNMP ensure wide compatibility. There are also peering traffic reports that can help identify upstream peering opportunities. The ATLAS aggregation service allows us to contribute to the global DDoS data and benefit from overall trends."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"Companies that live from their presence on the internet will get a very high return on investment from Arbor."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"Arbor DDoS's best feature is that we can put the certificates in, and it will look at layer seven and the encrypted traffic and do the required signaling."
"The most important aspect, in general, is that the price is suitable for most clients."
"It is an agnostic and transparent inline platform, which means that the maximum visibility of the symmetric and asymmetric traffic is available, even allowing bidirectional detection of the attack."
"This is a hybrid solution."
"The DDoS protection features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Corero is its ability to handle smaller attacks in terms of the amount of volume and time. You can handle almost 100 perfect of the attacks locally."
"It is a good solution. Its vendor support is the most valuable. It is simple and works well if you have Juniper MX routers."
"SmartWall devices occupy only one-fourth of the width of a rack unit, making them very easy to install."
 

Cons

"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"They should improve the reporting section and make it a little bit more detailed. I would like to have much better and more detailed reports."
"Implementation could be better."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"Arbor DDoS could improve out-of-the-box reporting, it could be better."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"Juniper is known in our country, but it is not very popular. There is also not enough information about Corero. Our enterprise and financial sectors don't know about this solution. They need to provide more information and do more marketing for this solution in our country."
"The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities."
"Corero needs to improve its application DDoS prevention capabilities and user behavior detection features."
"It could use support in Spanish."
"The approach taken by Corero is to partner with other organizations in order to address volumetric attacks that cannot be handled by the hardware installed in the infrastructure. Corero does not have a solution for these attacks, so they are looking for partners to help them manage them. This approach is supplemented by local hardware, but the main focus is on the partnerships. It would be beneficial to have a more complete solution."
"Lacks international presence."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"It is an expensive product. I use this product for its different features."
"Because the solutions from competitors are very different, it's not easy to compare. However, the licensing from Arbor is clear and understandable and the pricing is reasonable when looking at the market, in general."
"Pricing is slightly on the higher side."
"The price of this solution is a little high in the African market, it should be lower."
"The price is a little high."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing. It is an expensive solution. The issue with the pricing is more the way it is built. Right now we're paying per router, and there's a limitation there. I would like to see bundle-pricing where there is an overall solution cost."
"The pricing of the solution is cheap."
"We do not use the Arbor Cloud DDoS solution because it is too costly."
"Its price is normal."
"The price of Corero is affordable."
