Continuously monitors traffic through inbuilt rules to identify preconfigured attacks
Through the solution's unified dashboards and analytics reporting tools, we are able to gather all of the requirements for our application so that we can configure them accordingly. It also provides predictive analysis of the preconfigured attacks that might be happening to the application, so it helps us be proactive before using that application or report. We have data from a large user base. We capture their locations, health details, and citizen services. It's crucial to secure that data from unwanted attacks and third-party attacks. DDoS warns us of any unwanted attacks, and it automatically denies access to the attack for that application. It also provides notifications. It helps us protect the overall application from unwanted users. The solution is an Azure-based service, so it works perfectly with Azure application integration and the automation of our processes. If the user is getting their information in a timely manner and there are no data leaks or breaches, then the user is always happy. The user experience is our foremost priority.

Cons

"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."
"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."

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."

"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"The challenge lies within the customer environment, particularly in Brazil, where companies have stringent security requirements for implementing solutions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
