We performed a comparison between Azure DDoS Protection and F5 Silverline Managed Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Azure DDoS Protection is that it performs well."
"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."
"DDoS Protection is simple to deploy and integrates seamlessly with the Azure environment. Ease of deployment is a crucial feature for us."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"F5 technical support is really good."
"We have a lot of businesses that we put behind this solution, and it has really helped us in terms of monitoring the logs and incidents."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the configuration and configuring the process."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is the benchmark performance."
"The most important feature is that they have seven firewall protection, to protect our web servers."
"The product’s UI is easy to understand."
"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting."
"The implementation of Azure DDoS Protection results in a decrease in our bandwidth capacity and should be optimized to reduce resource consumption."
"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."
"The UI needs to be improved."
"The reporting aspect and dashboard management monitoring need improvement."
"The visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place."
"F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, being a new product in the market or comparatively related to a new product, currently supports less number of PoPs. They should introduce more PoPs. The current number of PoPs that they have is around 10 or 12, which is still relatively less as compared to 2,400 plus PoPs that Akamai offers. The user latency or the number of hops a user needs before reaching the actual web application is less in Akamai because it has its internal fabric to route the traffic. They need to spin up more data to increase its traffic handling capability. They can also include the bot detection capability, though it is a pretty advanced functionality. If they could include DataDome like functionality, that is, bot prediction, then F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall will be top-notch in the market."
"I just hope the price can be cheaper."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"The navigation is difficult to use."
"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better."
"The price is high in comparison to other products."
"The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
