"Flowmon has completely transformed the way we deal with DDoS attacks – it has gone from being a very manual and time consuming process to being a fully automated solution with effective mitigation in under one minute. After turning on automatic mitigation, it was actually very difficult to see from our normal monitoring platform that an attack had even occcurred! After several months of deployment, the frequency of attacks has diminished significantly, perhaps a sign that the attackers are aware that their efforts are no longer paying off? During the early phases, we had concerns that false positives may cause us to start black holing a whole range of IPs and causing us further problems, but due to Flowmon’s sophisticated learning algorithms and minimal bandwidth criteria, these fears have been unfounded - we have never had a false positive yet! While our primary reason to purchase the appliance was for its DDoS defence capabilities, it has acutally given us much more insight into the traffic patterns and nature of our network, with customisable reports providing us with a wealth of data allowing us to see who the heaviest users are, what’s consuming the bandwidth and which external networks we transfer the most data with. Overall, an excellent product with great support!"
