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.

A comprehensive and advanced product that prevents DDoS attacks
Kaspersky DDoS Protection offers three layers of support. The first layer of support is from the reseller, the second from the distributor, and the third from Kaspersky itself. Kaspersky has two support options. If one of my clients to whom I have sold Kaspersky licenses is facing an issue, they have to register themselves and wait in queue for support. It can take around 24-72 hours. A client can buy support from Kaspersky directly for a whole year. This type of support is quick and good since they respond within an hour.

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

"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"I have used it to bring enterprise-grade features to my small business clients at low or no cost."
"It's a reasonably priced solution that meets customers' needs and it's not too difficult to deploy."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"Using the CDN of Cloudflare improved the speed significantly, reducing the page loading times to appropriate levels."
"It is a mature product and we have not faced any DDoS attack. The tool is a comprehensive and advanced product. The solution is compatible with third-party products."
"The most important part is that Radware DDoS integrates seamlessly and provides anomaly identification, real-time notifications, and security against DDoS attacks. It also helps us with multi-layer volumetric attacks. It shields us from global botnet threats."
"Radware DDoS Protection Service has positively impacted my organization because we are more protected against attacks from the internet."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates."
"The product integrates well with Cisco."
"The most valuable feature is the controller that determines when and how traffic can be moved to the cloud."
"The best feature of Radware DDoS Protection Service is the automation. Previously, manual intervention was necessary, and for incoming attacks, we had to inform the respective security and operations teams, whereas now, it is an automated process that blocks attacks based on policies by default."
"The important features include automated protection and defense against many attacks, it's important that our networks are protected in the Radware cloud."
 

Cons

"We experienced some downtime in the fall of 2013, causing us to switch to Incapsula."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"Integration involving API with other products could be more user-friendly."
"I have found CloudFlare's support to be unresponsive at times, and not very helpful with providing technical details for issues that we have reported over the years."
"More insight into analytics and threats would be a good place to start improving Cloudflare."
"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."
"Kaspersky DDoS Protection's cloud version does not support all the features of its on-prem version. The solution needs to improve its support since clients can face issues that hurt their network. They would need an immediate response."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"The APSolute Vision feature needs improvement."
"There needs to be more reporting."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
"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 speed and quality of Radware DDoS's support should be improved."
"I believe Radware DDoS could be improved for cloud deployments with more granular controls that could provide valuable gains for the company, especially by verifying whether the client is genuine or not with additional metrics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."
"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."
"We are using the free version."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"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."
"Kaspersky DDoS Protection's prices are average. Compared to other brands, prices are competitive. When you purchase many licenses, you get a heavy discount. However, the prices are not affordable."
"Radware's switch to a pay-as-you-go model last year provides great flexibility."
"Radware's Cloud DDoS Protection Service stands out for its competitive pricing, making it a strong contender in our decision."
"I didn't check pricing of other providers in depth but verified with two, and found Radware to be significantly cheaper compared to F5."
"The price was well over six figures."
"The licensing cost is about $50,000."
"When compared with other solutions, my end user is satisfied with the costs and believes that Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service is worth the price paid."
"The initial cost is over $100,000 for one appliance."
"The cost for maintenance is cheaper because the majority of the deployments using the solution are in areas where cost of maintenance is also lower."
