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."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."
"Azure DDoS Protection offers superior protection against denial-of-service 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 important feature is that the solution continuously monitors traffic by inbuilt rules to identify preconfigured attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Azure DDoS Protection is that it performs well."
"Azure Firewall's feature that I have found most valuable is its scalability."
"Azure's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"The Layer four features are okay and meet my business needs."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"The solution has many useful features. For example, the solution allows users to create virtual IP addresses."
"Great security and connectivity."
"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 visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place."
"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting."
"The reporting aspect and dashboard management monitoring need improvement."
"The UI needs to be improved."
"The solution should incorporate features similar to competitors like split tunneling."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"It has fewer features than you can get from other firewalls, like anti-spam and anti-phishing. Those kinds of things are not included. It only includes IDS and IDB."
"There should be better monitoring and logging. Currently, it is put in Sentinel. It should be more seamless and from the interface."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
