Riverhead or Lancope?

Nanogers,

Did you ever tested Riverhead or Lancope? I know
rackspace uses one or both of them.

Are they good products and worth the try?

Can they really decrease the the DDoS damage?

Are they better than CISCO products?

Are there any tips?

Thanks,

-J

We use Riverhead at IIUCC/ILAN (AS378) to protect the .il root name servers,
it is active for a few months, and seems to work well. Maybe Hank will
comment on this as well.

I have been using Lancope for alomost two years. They
have developed a very effective complementary approach
to the signature based systems I have been evaluating
(SNORT, ISS, SOURCEFIRE, CISCO) using.

The latest software release has also provided a number
of key enhancements that allow the tool not only to be
NIDS, but a great network auditing and troubleshooting
tool as well.
