Pros
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy.""The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds.""It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies.""We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around.""The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use.""I find the interface easy to use.""It allows me to see all the traffic on my network.""Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."

More Fortinet FortiDDoS Pros →

"In the DDoS it's difficult to validate what is a genuine request from an end user. We've started being able to do that with the logistics that they have set up. With the protection that they have provided, they are able to identify what is valid and what is not valid. We see that a person who is getting DDoS Neustar service is able to block that particular user. However, while they are doing that it doesn't affect other customers on the server."

Cons
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB.""There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall.""The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable.""I would like to see analytics, big data.""All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure.""The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings.""The product’s pricing needs improvement."

More Fortinet FortiDDoS Cons →

"I would like to see a dashboard that shows you the data that is transferred from which end. It's where people start looking at abuse management. People keep questioning when the mitigation is on what service it is and how many GBs are passing through. An end user dashboard that will help you identify all of these questions and that can be visible in your entire organization is something that would make sense."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Arbor would be the best bid, apart from Arbor, Palo Alto and Fortinet have good solutions. As this is an ISP, I would prefer Arbor.
    Top Answer:The product's initial setup phase was really easy.
    Top Answer:The pricing for FortiDDoS was on the expensive side for us, and the scalability options were limited. When upgrading from 10 GB to 20 GB, the process involved replacing the entire box rather than a… more »

    Overview

    Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are ever-evolving and use a variety of technologies. To successfully combat these attacks, you need a dynamic, multi-layered security solution. FortiDDoS protects from both known and zero day attacks with very low latency. It’s easy to deploy and manage, and includes comprehensive reporting and analysis tools.

    • Hybrid DDoS Protection: Get the best of both worlds: on-premises hardware to stop smaller attacks instantly, plus the Neustar SiteProtect cloud when attack volume and complexity explode. We offer the largest and most effective hybrid platform solution.
    • On-Premises DDoS Protection: On-premises Arbor Networks hardware, fully managed by the NSOC, monitors your appliance and mitigates attacks 24/7.
    • Contingency/Failover Service: Gain backup or parallel processing capacity to stop large attacks faster. For SaaS providers, large financial organizations, and carriers especially, it’s a cost-effective way to uphold service quality.
