We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""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."

"This product uses auto-learning and behavioral analysis to establish baselines for legitimate traffic, and automatically detects and blocks traffic behavior that does not conform.""Check Point detects and automatically mitigates attacks, which helps our organization protect our infrastructure.""The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood.""Check Point DDoS Protector is a product that uses machine learning and behavior analysis.""As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously.""From my experience, the best part of this solution is behavioral DDoS protection. The DDoS Protector can monitor the traffic, and based on the behavior, it can decide which traffic is malicious and which traffic is regular. It works dynamically, and it's a very good solution.""This comprehensive tool validates and exploits complex vulnerabilities that other vendors fail to find and resolve to increase security.""One of its most outstanding functions is the zero-day DDOS."

Cons
"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting.""The UI needs to be improved.""The visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place.""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 reporting aspect and dashboard management monitoring need improvement.""The implementation of Azure DDoS Protection results in a decrease in our bandwidth capacity and should be optimized to reduce resource consumption."

More Azure DDoS Protection Cons →

"For a long time, there was no software version of R80.10 available for the Check Point DDoS Protector software appliances, and we had to stay on the quite outdated R77.30 version.""Monitoring and reporting are the things that can be introduced in the future.""I would like applications for Android and IOS where we can follow the events, and, if necessary, make changes.""Check Point DDoS Protector does not provide the ability to upload data for the blacklist/whitelist in bulk, which is one of the big points that need to be improved to facilitate configurations.""The mitigation part could be improved.""Check Point should develop a DDoS solution because they don't have one and we need to use another solution, in our case, Imperva. This is a problem because we need to have two firewalls. We would like to only have one solution because it would improve the management, we would have fewer incidents, and we wouldn't need to talk to more than one person for support.""The solution should greatly improve its interface.""The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater implementations with the best practices in this case of the Check Point manufacturer."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "You can test it for a certain period of time free of charge. You can have a free account. You can test it to compare its pros and cons with other products that you are testing."
  • "The pricing is quite high. It is a monthly subscription that costs about $2,000 per month, depending on the user sizes."
  • "The pricing is good but is not the best. It could be improved so that middle-sized organizations, such as startups, can benefit from it."
  • More Azure DDoS Protection Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's an expensive solution. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the world. It's cheaper than Palo Alto and Cisco but these are expensive solutions. Fortinet is cheaper."
  • "The appliance comes with a loaded hardware license, and additional options such as SSL can be purchased and enabled."
  • "I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the DDoS database for new attacks and so on."
