    Security has improved with accurate bot protection but performance and CDN features still need work

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Radware DDoS is security and protection.

    A quick, specific example of how I use Radware DDoS for security and protection is that we have enabled the DDoS and bot protection for our main website.

    What is most valuable?

    In my opinion, the best feature that Radware DDoS offers is bot protection.

    When I mention bot protection, what stands out to me is its accuracy.

    Radware DDoS also features easy integration, easy use, and a good user interface.

    Radware DDoS has positively impacted my organization by improving our security.

    After implementing Radware DDoS, my security has improved as I notice less bot traffic and spam traffic for our sales, our emails, and everywhere.

    What needs improvement?

    To improve Radware DDoS, it would be great to have more performance and more CDN features and all integrations.

    I wish there were more functionality for microservices, websites, and configurations regarding the static files and content and CDN.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Radware DDoS for around three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    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.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability of Radware DDoS is managed by Radware; I have no knowledge of how it is scalable.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer support is good, but it is slow and sometimes there is no resolution.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I previously used CloudFlare and AWS CloudFront before Radware DDoS.

    How was the initial setup?

    I purchased Radware DDoS through the AWS Marketplace.

    What about the implementation team?

    I use AWS as my cloud provider.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing Radware DDoS, I evaluated CloudFlare and AWS CloudFront.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice to others looking into using Radware DDoS is that the basic functionality is great, but additional features require more effort, integration time, and support communication.

    Radware DDoS is a great product for basic functionality that you can use, but generally, there are some pros and cons. For example, CloudFlare has issues such as downtimes, whereas Radware was a stable option. However, we had some performance issues and some support cases that delayed us, but it is still good.

    My overall rating for this product is 6.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Amazon Web Services (AWS)
