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.

Provides comprehensive executive vulnerability scanning report for applications

Dashboards are very helpful for showcasing Top 5 attacked applications, Top 5 Vulnerable applications, and Top 5 Vulnerabilities affected in Applications. It helped me to prioritize the resources to secure and showcase the same to management. We don't need to analyze manually to identify all the applications and logs to find top priorities. The Apptrana helped to identify it.

"Azure is easy to set up and widely used by our clients."

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

"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."

More Azure DDoS Protection pros

"AppTrana helped us to protect the public-hosted Web, API, and Mobile applications by acting as a strong WAF solution which has Machine learning compatibility that analyzes and blocks the Behavior DDoS attacks."

"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."

Cons

"I have noticed some false positives with the Web Application Firewall yet not with DDoS Protection."

"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."

"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 suggest adding more services and additional services, which would be beneficial."

"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting."

"The dashboard lacks insights and user-friendliness, as most data is logged into metrics like Log Analytics workspaces."

"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."

"AppTrana should improve its backend and frontend connections and loading speed. It is slower compared to other cloud solutions and sometimes it does not sync properly with front-end options and backend."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is an expensive solution."

"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."
