Find out what your peers are saying about NETSCOUT, Imperva, Cloudflare and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."
"This solution is easy to understand and easy to configure."
"Cloudflare is simple to use."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."
"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."
"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
