Security architecture shields infrastructure but dashboard needs enhancement
The Azure DDoS Protection plan is essential for environments like ours that are highly exposed to potential attacks, especially since DDoS attacks have become common. The security architecture with Azure DDoS Protection is critical for safeguarding our financial organization's infrastructure. Although implementing it is pricier, it is worth using since our applications are entirely in Azure.

Effective network and DDoS protection with suitable pricing
I use Corero for network DDoS protection projects. It is particularly effective in providing protection against network DDoS attacks I find Corero to be good, especially in a wide area. It does not have application filtering or application DDoS prevention, but for network DDoS projects, it is…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 is easy to set up and widely used by our clients."
"DDoS Protection is simple to deploy and integrates seamlessly with the Azure environment. Ease of deployment is a crucial feature for us."
"The Azure DDoS Protection plan is essential for environments like ours that are highly exposed to potential attacks, especially since DDoS attacks have become common."
"The most valuable feature of Azure DDoS Protection is that it performs well."
"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."
"Azure DDoS Protection offers superior protection against denial-of-service attacks."
"AI capabilities are very good. I would rate them an eight out of ten."
"The DDoS protection features are valuable."
"It is an agnostic and transparent inline platform, which means that the maximum visibility of the symmetric and asymmetric traffic is available, even allowing bidirectional detection of the attack."
"It is a good solution, its vendor support is the most valuable, and it is simple and works well if you have Juniper MX routers."
"The most valuable feature of Corero is its ability to handle smaller attacks in terms of the amount of volume and time. You can handle almost 100 perfect of the attacks locally."
"It is a very efficient and robust appliance."
"This is a hybrid solution."
"I like the fact that the product provides a hybrid solution."
"The most important aspect, in general, is that the price is suitable for most clients."
 

Cons

"I have noticed some false positives with the Web Application Firewall yet not with DDoS Protection."
"The dashboard lacks insights and user-friendliness, as most data is logged into metrics like Log Analytics workspaces."
"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting."
"The visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place."
"The implementation of Azure DDoS Protection results in a decrease in our bandwidth capacity and should be optimized to reduce resource consumption."
"It's not very easy to configure, in my view."
"I suggest adding more services and additional services, which would be beneficial."
"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."
"Juniper is known in our country, but it is not very popular. There is also not enough information about Corero. Our enterprise and financial sectors don't know about this solution. They need to provide more information and do more marketing for this solution in our country."
"The approach taken by Corero is to partner with other organizations in order to address volumetric attacks that cannot be handled by the hardware installed in the infrastructure. Corero does not have a solution for these attacks, so they are looking for partners to help them manage them. This approach is supplemented by local hardware, but the main focus is on the partnerships. It would be beneficial to have a more complete solution."
"Lacks international presence."
"Juniper is known in our country, but it is not very popular."
"Corero needs to improve its application DDoS prevention capabilities and user behavior detection features."
"It could use support in Spanish."
"I'd like to see an increase in Corero's international team. Our clients are generally companies with an international presence and Corero is not represented in all the countries where our clients have presence."
"The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The price of Corero is affordable."
"Its price is normal."
