I would guess that they could be useful in protecting "fragile" systems inside your network but a better solution is to stop the traffic getting to your network in the first place.

Hi Simon,
  imho if someone DDoS's you and overwhelms your incoming capacity then
there is no appliance that can stop the traffic from coming in via your
supplier's interface. The only solution is to have suppliers who agree
to be proactive in filtering traffic at their borders should you find
yourself under attack. Alternatively outsourcing content to CDNs or
anti-DDoS specialists is an option if you are a high profile target.

I am highly skeptical of vendors who claim to be able to do this, it can
clearly only work on a small scale.

    We’re looking at DDoS mitigation options at the moment, and one
    vendor we’ve spoken to has recommended NSFOCUS and their ADS line.
    Has anybody had any experience with these or similar, and also any
    ideas on competitor costs? ____
