"Feature-wise, I like the solution's signed URL because it provides security for me."

"It blocks all types of attacks."
"The most valuable features for us are the DDoS and Bot."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."

Its competitors have multiple data and server locations."
