We use the following criteria to evaluate this product:
Cost considerations
DefensePro hardware runs in the six-figure range even for modest bandwidth, and a 100-Gbps unit lists near US$2 million. Key protections like application security are sold as separate licenses, so organizations pay extra on top of the appliance price. Compared with rivals that bundle more features, the high entry and add-on costs make Radware an expensive solution to scale.

Functionality
Radware DefensePro delivers IPS and behavioral DDoS mitigation but is a stateless appliance rather than a full next-generation firewall. It lacks sandboxing, TLS 1.3 decryption, zero-trust segmentation, and SD-WAN features that competing network security suites provide

Compatibility
Radware is available as purpose-built appliances, virtual images in major cloud marketplaces, and a Kubernetes-native container WAF, giving buyers the same tool across on-prem, cloud and microservices environments. Native IPv6 and standard routing protocols allow deployment without network redesign, and published syslog/API hooks stream events straight into Splunk and other SIEMs with no custom coding. These factors mean most organizations can plug Radware into diverse environments with minimal effort.

User experience
Radware DefensePro offers a browser-based dashboard with real-time attack charts that users describe as easy to navigate. Peer reviewers report that most tasks are handled through the GUI and that administrators reach comfort quickly, with CLI needed only for niche tuning. A comprehensive user guide and other PDFs are freely accessible, so teams can resolve questions without delay.

Customer support
Radware runs a 24/7 Emergency Response Team and guarantees a 30-minute response to any critical ticket, with a 10-minute hotline for premium customers. The Certainty Support Program promises next-business-day hardware replacement and provides ongoing signature updates and an online knowledge base. These elements place Radware above average, but the available information stops short of confirming hourly signature pushes required for a top-tier score, so the support earns a 4 out of 5.
