We performed a comparison between Azure DDoS Protection and Azure Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Azure DDoS Protection is that it performs well."
"This solution is the best option for us because we use a lot of Microsoft products. So, it is easy for us to deploy or integrate any features or products."
"DDoS Protection is simple to deploy and integrates seamlessly with the Azure environment. Ease of deployment is a crucial feature for us."
"Azure DDoS Protection offers superior protection against denial-of-service attacks."
"The most important feature is that the solution continuously monitors traffic by inbuilt rules to identify preconfigured attacks."
"I like the user interface, documentation, and support. Azure DDoS Protection is one of the most valuable solutions for any endpoint that is publicly reachable through the internet. It will automatically secure all your endpoints from third-party attacks, cyber attacks, or phishing attacks."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"Great security and connectivity."
"Network filtering is valuable. The scalability capability from the cloud-native service helps us a lot because it simplifies our day-to-day maintenance activity."
"The Layer four features are okay and meet my business needs."
"Azure's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"I can easily configure it."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"The implementation of Azure DDoS Protection results in a decrease in our bandwidth capacity and should be optimized to reduce resource consumption."
"The reporting aspect and dashboard management monitoring need improvement."
"The UI needs to be improved."
"Sometimes, it is hard for our staff to keep track of changes (in the GUI) between different projects, because there are constant changes. As a result, it is hard to manage, recall, and see all the features because they have been moved from one place to another."
"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting."
"The visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place."
"It's a little heavy compared to a FortiGate or other firewalls."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"The reporting, logging, and monitoring features, as well as the flexibility of the policies, need to be improved."
