It will automatically secure all your endpoints from third-party attacks, cyber attacks, or phishing attacks.""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."

"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year.""We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool.""It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device.""Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous.""Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."

Cons
"The reporting aspect and dashboard management monitoring need improvement.""The visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place.""The UI needs to be improved.""The implementation of Azure DDoS Protection results in a decrease in our bandwidth capacity and should be optimized to reduce resource consumption.""Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting.""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."

More Azure DDoS Protection Cons →

"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature.""Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation.""Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time.""There is potential for more integration in the use of AI.""Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."

  • "The pricing is good but is not the best. It could be improved so that middle-sized organizations, such as startups, can benefit from it."
  • More Azure DDoS Protection Pricing and Cost Advice →
