Cloud Protection

My main use case for Radware DDoS  is to spot DDoS attacks, filter them out, and block them as needed.

Regarding how my team interacts with Radware DDoS , the support is always available. If things don't go as planned, we know the Radware team is available. We have an engagement manager in place who gets back to us fairly quickly if there is an issue that doesn't resolve itself. We have a portal which shows us how many attacks come in, how many are filtered by Radware, and how many are spotted daily, and it's a really good tool to have within my team.

In terms of how my team uses Radware DDoS to stop attacks, I have noticed that it detects any attacks coming in and mitigates the attacks. If we have any issues, it's quite easy to get hold of the team at Radware to provide us support.

The best features of Radware DDoS are their use of DefensePro and DefenseFlow to automatically block detected threats. Normally, it automatically registers malicious behavior and filters those attacks out. Another feature I appreciate is the portal where I'm able to see how Radware DDoS has helped the company.

The specific features of Radware DDoS help my team day-to-day because the auto-detection and mitigation are really important. Attacks are automatically detected and mitigated, which means less hands-on work and it takes the pressure off. When we run into any other issues, the support is available, and it provides effective protection. It didn't take long to implement into our network, and the support is really good.

Radware DDoS has impacted my organization positively by providing robust DDoS protection. It offers excellent security and support, and it's an effective solution. It's there detecting attacks and mitigating them, which has allowed us to concentrate on other areas.

The impact of Radware DDoS on my team's workload and efficiency is positive because we don't have to have too many eyes on one thing. With the DDoS mitigation in place and automatic registering, it helps with that. The support from Radware puts less pressure on us to fix things on our own, and it has dropped the workload quite a bit.

Regarding the features of Radware DDoS, the portal could be more customizable, and the data on the portal could stay around for longer. I've been really happy with Radware overall. It has been really useful, and we have also worked with the team to improve the way traffic comes into our network, where we migrated certain services to certain areas of our network to help with the location of where Radware DDoS traffic comes in.

Improvements for Radware DDoS include enhancing the dashboard to allow for more customization, which would allow the organization to edit it to how they see fit. There could be better ways to retrieve data, perhaps a backend database for long-term data retention. The dashboard could be improved, but nothing stands out otherwise. It has been a good relationship.

I have been using Radware DDoS for three years since I've been at my organization.

Radware DDoS is stable. We have resiliency in place and it is geo-located, so it works well and remains stable.

Regarding Radware DDoS's scalability, there are always options to scale. As mentioned earlier, we had an issue where we needed to move our routers closer to Radware DDoS's infrastructure, and they were fairly flexible with it, allowing us to make the changes and arrangements. There is always the option to add more around the company, so it is scalable.

The customer support of Radware DDoS is rated 10 out of 10 because they are always available. We have a customer engagement member always available for us, so if we ever have an incident we're having trouble with or issues with the platform, we can always contact them. They are always on hand and put in the hours to solve any issues.

I did not previously use a different solution before Radware DDoS.

I was not involved in the part of setting up Radware DDoS, which includes pricing, setup cost, and licensing.

When it comes to the return on investment with Radware DDoS, it's hard to discuss in terms of money saved, but we definitely don't need to put as much focus on manually looking at attacks and mitigating them. In terms of cost saving, it has meant staff can work on other areas and improve automation or work on bigger issues such as incidents or future projects.

The advice I would give to others looking into using Radware DDoS is to make sure you put the time in during the setup. Get the setup correct and make sure you have everything in place. Know where you want to set it up, how you want it to help you, and what attacks you want it to address. You also want one person who is an expert in using the portal and can train other people, because having that expert will be useful when onboarding new people or showing others how to use Radware DDoS. I would rate my overall experience with this solution a 9 out of 10.

The main use cases I have for Radware DDoS  are traffic scrubbing, hybrid protection in the cloud and on-premise, and automatic mitigation when the bandwidth is saturated.

I use Radware DDoS  in my day-to-day work with the company's core services and ERP  exposed to the internet.

When the core services and the ERP  are exposed to the internet, Radware DDoS has not managed to mitigate any specific attack with major impact that I can recall.

Radware DDoS has positively impacted my organization by giving us greater visibility into all the traffic that hits our applications and faster decision-making when it comes to mitigating any attack and determining whether it is a false positive or a real attack.

An indicator that has improved since I started using Radware DDoS is the reduction of incidents and it gives us more clarity about false positives.

I consider the best features that Radware DDoS offers to be the protection, including SSL protection, the creation of dynamic signatures automatically during attacks, inspection and mitigation of HTTPS and SSL attacks, and integration with the router to divert all the traffic and block malicious traffic.

I would like to add that the always-on protection and activation based on an attack threshold is an especially innovative feature.

I think Radware DDoS could improve the end-user interface slightly, but everything else is excellent as it is an easy-to-use tool.

I have been using Radware DDoS for approximately two years.

Radware DDoS is a very stable solution.

My experience when increasing or decreasing the capacity of Radware DDoS according to the company's needs has been very good, and I would give it a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Radware DDoS as excellent as it adapts well to changes in traffic volume and the company's needs.

I would describe the attention and assistance I have received from the Radware DDoS team as excellent, as they have been there when we have needed them.

I would describe Radware DDoS's customer support as excellent.

I did not use any other solution before Radware DDoS as it is the first solution we are using.

I would describe the ease of integration of Radware DDoS with other tools or systems that I use in my company as relatively simple, thanks to its compatibility with widely used networking and security standards. Radware DDoS allows integration with firewalls, and in our case we use Fortinet firewalls, and with additional network-level monitoring platforms that we have in the company.

Regarding daily management, I would describe the ease of administration and monitoring of Radware DDoS as very good as the dashboard is very intuitive and easy for the end user.

I have seen a return on investment since I implemented Radware DDoS with savings in resources and time, and greater visibility when making decisions.

My experience with the costs, pricing, and licensing of Radware DDoS is that while it is expensive, the tool meets all expectations.

Before choosing Radware DDoS, I evaluated other options such as Fortinet and F5.

My advice to other professionals who are considering implementing Radware DDoS is to validate the need for which the tool is going to be purchased, since it is expensive, but even so it is an excellent tool that in my case fit all the needs and meets all the objectives for which it was acquired. I gave this review a rating of ten out of ten.

I use Radware DDoS  to identify problems that appeared on our website, specifically related to denial of service attacks. Currently, it serves as our security front for our published applications.

The valuable aspect is being able to identify where the attacks originate and generate the solution accordingly. The identification of where security events originate is particularly important to us. Service availability, which translates into economic terms, is also significant.

I do not find much to improve as the solution really has everything. Adding artificial intelligence could be beneficial.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

I previously used F5 and made the change due to cost considerations and the complexity of its administration.

The cost-benefit of Radware DDoS  has helped us significantly. The cost relative to what it does is very valuable. The quality-to-price ratio compared to the tool is good.

Cloudflare  was also considered as an alternative.

Radware DDoS is excellent in its current state. The Merlin program offered by the solution is outstanding. The guarantees that Radware DDoS offers us and the general excellence, along with the ease of use, are remarkable. I would rate this product a 10.

I use Radware DDoS  for DDoS protection.

I thought that it would be much more work than it turned out to be at the end of the day because Radware has honeypot functionality that automatically blocks things they discover, and for our case, it blocks approximately 80% of the attacks or possible attacks. Automation is the best feature.

Regarding time and resource savings, it is difficult to say because with security, the answer depends on perspective. I would estimate it saves approximately 50% of resources, placing it in the middle.

Pricing has room for improvement. It is somewhat inconvenient for us because the new features that are introduced are pricey and are just add-ons to the original or baseline license. They could improve pricing from my point of view.

I have been using Radware DDoS  for approximately 10 years.

Radware DDoS has helped reduce downtime associated with attacks. We have not experienced any downtime until now. However, this is a combination effort from Radware, from our ISP, and from other means of protection.

Radware DDoS is scalable, particularly in the field of cloud WAF .

I rate technical support at a 10 out of 10. The technical support is definitely excellent.

I compare Radware DDoS to other vendors such as Cloudflare , Akamai , F5, and Imperva. We have Imperva and DataPower from IBM. Radware DDoS is on the same level, and on some aspects, Radware DDoS is above the others for us. The primary reason is their technical support, which is great. They provide us with a great deal of expertise regarding our questions. The overall performance is pretty much the same, but I chose Radware DDoS because we are accustomed to it. The boxes perform their jobs fine, so we are quite satisfied with it.

The deployment was very straightforward. We completed it with Radware Professional  Services, which did a great job. There were no objections or remarks.

Radware collects information over the phone or via WebEx or Zoom. We are doing great with Radware.

Radware DDoS web DDoS is not used for HTTP or L7 in our case.

Regarding threats such as burst, DNS attacks, encrypted SSL, and botnets, I believe Radware DDoS can help prevent them, but we do not use those capabilities. We have other ways to mitigate these types of attacks. We are aware of these features, but they are pricey and we use other methods of mitigation.

Concerning real-time attack detection and false positives, this feature was recently introduced. Overall, it is working fine regarding attacks, and we detect them quite easily. Regarding this new feature, it is too soon to have a definitive opinion because it has a nice graphical interface. The new features introduced are fine, but in the real world, it is too soon to judge if it is valuable for us. I believe it is, but for now, this is the best answer I can provide.

I use the SecOps dashboard, which provides historical information. We can perform forensics and obtain detailed reports. It is adequate.

I would recommend Radware DDoS to other users because in security, there are many layers of protection, and this is one of the most exposed regarding the internet. Radware DDoS is a first line of defense, and then other, more sophisticated methods can be added. I would definitely recommend it, but it is somewhat pricey, so if anyone can afford it, I would definitely go with it. My overall rating for this product is 10 out of 10.
