Protect from DDoS attacks with good management and easy setup
I have used Fortinet FortiDDoS. Fortinet is a little bit cheaper. Both solution was effective. The management of Check Point solution is a little bit better. It is 50 percent cheaper than Fortinet. It's very modern now to have an AI in the management for fast finding of attacks or investigation. Check Point have these features in a new releases.

Multi-layered defense ensures robust protection and optimized resources
Radware DDoS Protection Service is valued for its multi-layered defense protection, always-on and on-demand service, zero-day protection with adaptive behavioral-based mitigation, DNS and infrastructure protection, and SSL attack mitigation. The solution's multi-layer protection covers volumetric, protocol-based, and application layer attacks. They offer a very effective response against DNS attacks. Regarding behavior-based detection technology, in terms of real-time detection, it has been able to reduce false positives. We have pretty good experience with them. The geolocation is pretty good for an organization such as ours. We can block anything from certain regions, like North Korea or China, etc, cetera. It works alongside machine learning. They can update policies globally in less than ten seconds, which really helps with false positives. During a DDoS attack, it ensures legitimate users are not affected. We're working on a hybrid solution, so we have Defence Pro devices on our side and unlimited mitigation capabilities on the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point DDoS Protector is a product that uses machine learning and behavior analysis."
"From my experience, the best part of this solution is behavioral DDoS protection. The DDoS Protector can monitor the traffic, and based on the behavior, it can decide which traffic is malicious and which traffic is regular. It works dynamically, and it's a very good solution."
"It uses several layers of security."
"It can be deployed as a hardware appliance, virtual appliance, or as a cloud service."
"Currently, we have fewer incidents with viruses. We improved our IQ operations and security using this solution. Our company's better after using Check Point."
"The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood."
"Check Point detects and automatically mitigates attacks, which helps our organization protect our infrastructure."
"The initial setup takes two hours."
"The best feature is the auto mitigation of the DefensePro solution created by Radware."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
"Technologically simple and effective."
"The most valuable feature is the controller that determines when and how traffic can be moved to the cloud."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"Radware's support is first class."
"All of our traffic has to pass through the appliance, so we can very quickly mitigate the attack. This is a very valuable feature. On top of that, it's not only volumetric attack protection that the solution offers, but also layer 7 attack protection as well."
"It offers valuable insights into ongoing and past attacks, aiding in post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity strategy."
 

Cons

"The product is expensive."
"The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater implementations with the best practices in this case of the Check Point manufacturer."
"It is an expensive tool for some companies."
"Monitoring and reporting are the things that can be introduced in the future."
"The Check Point support language is only in English."
"I would like applications for Android and IOS where we can follow the events, and, if necessary, make changes."
"Check Point DDoS Protector does not provide the ability to upload data for the blacklist/whitelist in bulk, which is one of the big points that need to be improved to facilitate configurations."
"It does not provide the capability to upload data for blacklisting/whitelisting in bulk."
"The rise of generative AI and machine learning in cyberattacks demands more advanced defense strategies."
"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."
"The inability to access local technical support during our business hours poses a significant inconvenience."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
"Radware should focus on customization and integration, allowing routers and firewalls from other parties to integrate with the DDoS solution, enhancing security."
"We would like to have seven-layer functionality."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable."
"I think Radware DDoS Protection Service could be improved by enhancing the network analytics features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the DDoS database for new attacks and so on."
"The appliance comes with a loaded hardware license, and additional options such as SSL can be purchased and enabled."
"It's an expensive solution. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the world. It's cheaper than Palo Alto and Cisco but these are expensive solutions. Fortinet is cheaper."
"The Radware DefensePro was bundled together with our security platform."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"Licensing of Radware is quite simple and straightforward, while Arbor DDos is a bit complicated."
"It is not expensive. It is medium range. The pricing is good, as we recently renewed our licenses from Radware."
"The initial cost is over $100,000 for one appliance."
