Azure DDoS Protection Reviews

We are building our infrastructure to be secure. We have a solution that is exposed to all users and without a VPN. That is why we had to do some work to protect it against any DDoS 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 DNS security and deployment options are the most valuable features. 

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.

I have been using this solution for less than six months.

It is a stable solution. 

We have not scaled it yet.

Because we are an educational institution, we receive very good support from them. They keep us informed about everything that is happening, e.g., the projects or bugs that they are working on and how long something will take.

I feel comfortable working with them. I am like an intermediary between them and the customer. The communication from Microsoft is something that I value a lot. For example, if we received a ticket related to SharePoint not working as well as communication from Microsoft saying that it will be down for a certain time, this makes it easier for me to support our customers. 

Our team's experience with them has been good.

I had to ask for some help to do the initial setup, but I didn't find it really hard. I had to ask for help because I was new to the environment.

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.

We are an educational institution. Therefore, we get a special price from them, not the standard one.

I had an opportunity to test different platforms. We prefer Microsoft because we are using a lot of products from them, but that doesn't mean that they are the best. 

Microsoft is working hard to improve its products. A good thing about them is that they keep you informed about all their updates and improvements. As a customer, I feel like I am a part of their team because they keep us updated, get us involved in quality assurance, etc. Therefore, I don't feel that I am separate from their environment, which is what I don't find with other companies.

If you want to work with it, it would be better to have a little bit of experience in Azure. If you don't have that experience, "Don't touch it," instead seek help.

I would rate Azure DDoS Protection a seven out of 10. We are still exploring it as well as working towards protecting and securing our networks. I am very comfortable with it. 

I am using Azure DDoS Protection to protect my public endpoints in Azure.

The most valuable feature of Azure DDoS Protection is that it performs well.

Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting.

I have been using Azure DDoS Protection for approximately one year.

Azure DDoS Protection is a stable solution.

The scalability of Azure DDoS Protection is good.

I have not contacted support.

Azure DDoS Protection was very easy to deploy.

I rate Azure DDoS Protection a nine out of ten.
