Cloud Protection

I use Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service to safeguard our public facing application and network infrastructure from DDoS attacks.

We experienced an unexpected surge of malicious traffic dragging a customer-facing application, and Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service quickly identified and mitigated the attack automatically, ensuring uninterrupted service availability. The real-time monitoring and detailed attack analysis helped our team to verify the legitimate user traffic was not affected while the attack was being blocked.

This service provided clear visibility into the attack source and traffic behavior, allowing our team to monitor the situation without manual intervention.

The biggest positive impact has been improved service availability, which reduces the operational effort. Since implementing Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service, I have greater confidence that our public-facing application will remain accessible even during attack attempts.

I cannot share exact figures, but I have seen a noticeable reduction in security incidents that required manual intervention since implementing Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service.

Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service has helped us significantly reduce the risk of downtime caused by DDoS attacks. While I cannot share exact figures, the solution has enabled us to maintain service availability during multiple attack attempts that could have otherwise disrupted critical business applications. The automated detection and mitigation capabilities help stop malicious traffic in real-time, preventing performance degradation and outage.

The best feature of Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service is its real-time attack detection, automated mitigation capabilities, and comprehensive traffic visibility. The solution effectively handles both volumetric and application layer DDoS attacks with minimal manual intervention.

The biggest impact for me has been the automated mitigation feature, which reduces the need for constant monitoring and manual intervention during attack events. Knowing that suspicious traffic is identified and blocked automatically gives our team more time to focus on strategic tasks rather than reacting to incidents while ensuring our application remains available to users.

I believe Radware's AI capabilities are well designed from both governance and security perspectives, as the AI helps identify suspicious traffic and attack patterns quickly while reducing the need for manual analysis.

I found the AI capabilities to be both accurate and reliable in day-to-day operations.

The reliability, scalability, and reduction in business risk make it a worthwhile investment, and overall, I believe the cost is aligned with the value and security benefits delivered by the platform.

I have evaluated other options, but I cannot confirm them as these are confidential.

I would rate Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service a nine out of ten.

I chose nine out of ten because it is highly effective in protecting our application and network from DDoS attacks while providing strong visibility and automated mitigation capabilities. The platform is reliable, scalable, and has significantly reduced the operational efforts. The reason I did not give the perfect ten is that there is still room for improvement in the areas such as dashboard customization and deeper analytics.

I would recommend leveraging this platform's monitoring, analytics, and reporting features from the beginning, as these capabilities provide valuable visibility into traffic patterns and potential threats, helping security teams respond more effectively.

My main use case for Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service is for DDoS protection for our company and our customers, primarily for our organization.

A specific example of how I have used Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service in practice is that we deployed the device as an out-of-band solution.

Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service has not positively impacted my organization, as we have not noticed any difference compared to another vendor; it works perfectly.

In terms of helping reduce the number of attacks or making my team's job easier, the attack number remains the same. The solution works as intended.

Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service has not helped me reduce the number of false positives my organization receives in response to attacks, and we have not noticed any improvement in this area.

The best features that Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service offers are difficult to specify, as I cannot identify one specific feature that stands out.

Of the features such as real-time attack detection, automated mitigation, or customizable dashboards that some users mention, the automated mitigation with near real-time response stands out to me. The dashboard is quite good, though the reporting is not particularly useful.

The average amount of time it takes for Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service to detect an incident, such as mean time to detect, is below thirty seconds, and sometimes it appears to be below one minute.

I assess Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service's response times after an attack as real-time mitigation from the moment the attack starts.

Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service has been effective at mitigating all kinds of DDoS attacks in my organization.

Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service can be improved, particularly in reporting. It needs to be enhanced since we want to see how much data and traffic we prevented, but there is no useful reporting functionality available.

The main issue regarding reporting is what I would consider the primary area needing improvement.

I chose seven out of ten because, as I mentioned previously, Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service mitigates DDoS attacks in real time, but the reporting is not useful for our organization. The reporting is too rigid and offers no customization options.

Our primary use case for Radware DDoS is protecting externally exposed applications from DDoS attacks and for continuous monitoring and maintaining service availability during cyber attacks.

I have used Radware DDoS when one of our public-facing applications received unusual traffic consisting of high-volume traffic that caused our service disruption. Radware detected that attack and mitigated it, ensuring that legitimate users could continue to access the application without downtime.

Since we have implemented Radware DDoS, the most noticeable improvement has been the increase in service availability and the reduction of operational efforts, as Radware automatically detects and mitigates DDoS attacks, allowing our team to focus on investigation and monitoring rather than emergency response.

We benefit from better visibility into these attacks and network traffic, and we have improved our overall security operations accordingly.

The most notable outcome is that we have improved our application availability and reduced operational overhead, as the automated detection and mitigation significantly reduced response time to DDoS events. Our team spent less time manually analyzing traffic spikes while maintaining service continuity for end users.

I do not have exact metrics available, but I would estimate that false positives were reduced by approximately 20 to 30% after optimization and policy tuning, as Radware uses behavioral analysis and traffic baselines to better differentiate legitimate traffic from actual attack activity.

Radware DDoS has several valuable features, including real-time behavior-based attack detection, automatic mitigation, hybrid protection, and good visibility and reporting.

The most valuable feature for our team is automated DDoS detection and mitigation because DDoS attacks can escalate within seconds, and manual intervention may not be fast enough to prevent it. Having automated systems that can identify abnormal traffic patterns and apply mitigation policies in real-time helps us maintain application availability while reducing the operational efforts for the security and network teams.

Behavioral-based detection is another valuable feature that I find particularly important.

Radware DDoS's AI-driven behavior analysis is one of its strengths, improving security by detecting anomalies in real-time and supporting governance through centralized visibility, reporting, and control of mitigation policies.

I find Radware DDoS's AI capabilities to be highly accurate and reliable, as its behavior analysis effectively detects anomalies and provides consistent mitigation recommendations.

In my experience, the average detection time is typically from seconds to a few minutes, depending upon the attack types. Large volumetric attacks are usually detected almost immediately, while more sophisticated attacks may require additional behavioral analysis.

I would rate Radware DDoS's response times after an attack as nine out of ten because its automated detection and mitigation capabilities enable it to react within seconds of identifying malicious traffic, helping maintain application availability and reducing the need for urgent manual intervention.

Radware DDoS learns normal traffic patterns and quickly identifies anomalies, enabling attack detection and mitigation while helping to reduce false positives by distinguishing legitimate traffic spikes from actual attacks. This improves our alert accuracies and reduces manual investigation efforts.

If I needed to choose one improvement for Radware DDoS, it would be simplifying policy tuning and alert management.

I have been using Radware DDoS for around one year or longer.

Radware DDoS is stable.

Radware DDoS's scalability is quite good.

The customer support is good, and we receive prompt responses from them. They provide guidance on policy tuning, attack analysis, and troubleshooting, and they are particularly helpful during critical incidents.

I have not used any solution before Radware DDoS.

The ROI is primarily time-saving, as it provides faster response times and reduces headcount needs.

I cannot provide information about pricing, setup cost, and licensing, as this is confidential data.

We have evaluated other options, but those details are confidential.

Radware DDoS is deployed in our organization as a public cloud deployment, and we use Radware Cloud exclusively.

My advice would be to understand your DDoS protection requirements and invest time in proper deployment and policy tuning from the beginning. Once properly configured, Radware DDoS provides strong protection, fast mitigation, good scalability, and helps maintain the availability of critical business applications during DDoS attacks.

I am rating Radware DDoS with an overall score of 10. The main reason I chose this rating is that it provides real-time detection and automated mitigation for DDoS attacks, helping us ensure that critical business applications remain available without any manual intervention.

My main use case for Radware DDoS is to protect my organization from major DDoS attacks from outsiders, and I generally monitor the internal DDoS attacks that are occurring.

For example, one incident involved a public-facing application coming under a large volume DDoS attack, which increased the traffic and began affecting legitimate users. With Radware DDoS, I used it to monitor and identify abnormal patterns, and the attack was mitigated at the edge with the introduction of protection policies while documenting the events.

In another incident, I noticed a sudden Layer 7 DDoS attack targeting login and API endpoints, where the traffic appeared from many sources. Initially, I thought it was normal user traffic, but the request rate and behavior were abnormal, so I used Radware DDoS protection to analyze the traffic patterns, apply behavioral detection, and block or challenge suspicious requests. Later, I reviewed the logs and adjusted the security policies to improve the protection against similar attacks.

The best features Radware DDoS offers are behavior-based detection and protection against Layer 3 attacks and Layer 7 attacks, along with encrypted traffic protection, automated mitigation, and hybrid deployment. The main strength, in my assessment, is the behavioral-based detection.

Behavior-based detection has helped my team as it allows me to identify abnormal traffic patterns. For instance, if my company normally receives around 500 HTTP requests per second to its login page, during an attack, the traffic suddenly increases to 20,000, and I have identified this activity as DDoS detection, labeling it as abnormal since 500 is the normal traffic level.

An attacker launched a TLS-based DDoS on an encrypted public application, and since the traffic was encrypted, traditional inspection could not work effectively. However, Radware behavioral detection also helps in such scenarios.

I have been using Radware DDoS for the past two years.

Radware DDoS is utilized for addressing real-time attacks on web services through the WAF, providing protection and notification prior to and during attacks.

Our organization is a trading firm with active and real-time data that must be protected at all costs. We are tasked with protecting this data, and Radware proves very useful for this specification. With Radware DDoS, we can be informed about attacks from suspicious or fake IDs, enabling us to prevent them.

All applications, domains, and subdomains are linked to Radware DDoS WAF. We receive notifications if any suspicious activity or unusual traffic is detected in our environment, allowing us to take action accordingly.

Regarding Radware DDoS, any malicious or suspicious activities or traffic are already blocked by the WAF, which informs us of the suspicious traffic identified. This capability is advantageous for our organization because it assists us in managing suspicious traffic effectively.

We have observed less downtime and quicker responses to attacks since implementing Radware DDoS.

Radware DDoS provides us with the ability to detect real-time attacks, so our Infosec team is made aware before any attacks or suspicious activity occurs, allowing us to take precautions beforehand.

The ease of use is excellent because Radware DDoS WAF is user-friendly, allowing us to customize features easily. Additionally, the support from Radware is very helpful; when we need urgent assistance, they arrange to provide support regarding any queries we face, which is a positive aspect of Radware DDoS WAF.

The accuracy and reliability of Radware DDoS output are very good.

Radware DDoS detection time depends on the actual problem statement and the impact caused by the DDoS issue. While detection time varies, being properly guided with the correct solution for data protection is more critical.

Radware DDoS effectively mitigates advanced DDoS threats such as burst and DNS attacks, encrypted SSL floods, and IoT botnets. These threats are already stopped and blocked by Radware DDoS, and we receive notifications or pre-information about such attacks, allowing us to take necessary actions.

My experience with Radware DDoS's behavior-based detection technology has been quite positive because real-time attacks are already identified and blocked by Radware DDoS.

I am not certain what improvements can be made to Radware DDoS because it performs well; however, I believe that the support personnel assigned should have enough experience to quickly understand the situation so that the solutions provided are suitable for our organization.

I have already mentioned all that needs improvement from my perspective.

I have been using Radware DDoS for five years.

Radware DDoS is very stable.

Radware DDoS handles scaling situations very effectively and easily, which is always beneficial for our organization.

Radware DDoS support is quick and keen to provide the best solutions regarding problem scenarios.

As mentioned earlier, the support is very good, with experienced people available. However, the person assigned to the specific situation should understand the implemented solution so that we save time and gain efficiency.

Since my presence at the organization, we have solely been using Radware DDoS.

We have seen a return on investment in terms of money saved and time saved.

The pricing structure could be lower, as not every organization can afford the current pricing. However, the services provided are highly recommendable.

I have not evaluated other options as Radware DDoS was already implemented when I arrived, and I would suggest it as my preferred solution.

I rate Radware DDoS at nine out of ten.

I rate it nine because I do not have any specific reason to give it a perfect ten; personally, I would give it a ten. The one point deducted is solely due to the support component, where the assigned support person should be properly trained, and any new implementations or changes from Radware DDoS should be communicated to us beforehand.

From a governance and security perspective, there is some risk involved with AI as we are unsure about where the data should be saved, but since Radware DDoS is implementing AI, precautions appear to have been taken, which could ultimately benefit customers.

In our organization, the server configurations are on-premises and cloud-based, meaning Radware DDoS is implemented on both on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

For my role, the configuration used is on-premises.

I suggest others choose Radware DDoS because the implementation and integration process is user-friendly and the support available is helpful whenever needed. My overall rating for this review is nine out of ten.

My main use case for Radware DDoS is for analysis of applications published on the internet.

I can give you a quick specific example of how I use Radware DDoS to analyze an application published online. We detected constant events targeting a new application, which allowed us to improve its security.

In my opinion, the best features Radware DDoS offers are the dashboard, the event visualization, and the use of AI integrated into the tool.

The dashboard and the use of AI for visualization help me in my work because the dashboard makes it very visual for potential events, and the AI is quite user-friendly and useful.

Radware DDoS has positively impacted my organization by helping us avoid going several days without the important application. With Radware DDoS, I can keep our portal applications running for several days without interruption, which enables the institution to continue serving the public.

I like Radware DDoS just the way it is now, and there are no improvements I wish to see.

I have been using Radware DDoS for two years.

I do not have specific metrics or numbers right now regarding reduced downtime or fewer incidents after using Radware DDoS. I gave this product a rating of 10.

The main use case for Radware DDoS in my organization is configuring the thresholds to mitigate DDoS attacks and protect the infrastructure. I have limited SYN and flood connections to mitigate any traffic poisoning or massive connection attacks.

The best features that Radware DDoS offers, in my opinion, are the fast detection of attacks and response mitigation. The fast detection and mitigation functions have made a concrete difference in my team's daily operations by allowing us to quickly detect DDoS attacks.

Radware DDoS has positively impacted my organization by notifying us of attacks that may be carried out against the company, and seeing possible network scans. We have noticed improvements since we detect traffic floods, and that helps us with our daily analysis and alerting about possible incidents.

I think Radware DDoS could be improved by simplifying the policies a bit, that is, adjusting the configuration a bit better and making it easier.

Radware DDoS has not been very effective in mitigating advanced threats such as burst attacks, DNS attacks, encrypted SSL floods, or IoT botnets in my organization, as we do not have this functionality very well enabled and use it only for detections and to mitigate certain traffic floods. I do not have layer 7 enabled, so we have not used Radware DDoS's HTTP web protection.

Regarding the response times after an attack, this is a point we have not been able to test since we don't have many attacks; they are simple network scans that help us with traffic analysis. I think the ease of use of the Radware DDoS interface requires a bit more advanced knowledge, and there are applications that are much more intuitive.

I have been using this solution in my organization for specifically around a year.

I consider Radware DDoS to be a stable solution, as we have not had stability problems.

The scalability of Radware DDoS is good, as it can adapt to traffic growth and protect infrastructures of different sizes, allowing you to increase mitigation capacity through cloud services.

My experience with Radware DDoS customer support has been very good; they respond to us very quickly and solve all the problems we report.

We did not have another solution before implementing Radware DDoS; it was handled by an external provider.

I have seen a return on investment with Radware DDoS, particularly saving time for investigations since we use the statistics and traffic measurements to evaluate traffic, and Radware DDoS gives us the results a bit more ready-made.

My experience with the pricing, implementation costs, and licensing of Radware DDoS has been good; I have not had the opportunity with DDoS but have found it very easy with Radware DDoS as a load balancer, and the contact with the manufacturer has been good and easy.

Before choosing Radware DDoS, we evaluated other options like Imperva and F5 due to prices and economic reasons, and I think they decided on this option.

I would advise other people who are considering using Radware DDoS that it is a very good tool, that it can be easily implemented, that support is very collaborative, and I would encourage them to try it. I gave this review a rating of 9.
