More Fortinet FortiDDoS Pros →

"Based on the support received for implementation, I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten.""The support team was helpful.""Filters can be customized depending on the characteristics of the attack traffic. This feature has made it easier for Nexusguard's SOC team to further isolate any specific attack that can't be blocked by pre-configured mitigation.""Cloud Diversion is another good feature packaged with the whole solution. When attack traffic is detected, Cloud Diversion triggers to automatically route our prefix to Nexusguard’s scrubbing center, ensuring that all attack traffic is dropped in the shortest time possible.""The managed service allows us to confidently rely on Nexusguard’s professional team to take relevant actions as and when required to make sure DDoS attacks are successfully mitigated, ensuring 100% uptime of our service."

Cons
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved.""The web interface could be much better.""The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable.""There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall.""All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure.""The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings.""I would like to see analytics, big data."

More Fortinet FortiDDoS Cons →

"There was a certain level of performance degradation in the solution, which I don't know if it can be tuned...In my experience, it is an area that can be improved while also considering the stability and scalability aspects of the solution.""One thing that we would like to improve from them is to provide more training to SOC team for them to have a deep understanding of the solution so that they would always be ready to answer anything without the need to escalate queries to senior personnel.""The solution must provide features for the post-processing of the traffic type and the traffic quality.""The mitigation scope of Origin Protection is not fully efficient as there could be delays in activating the countermeasures.""One of the features that should be added to the next release is report generation. Currently, reports can be downloaded every month and are only available at the beginning of each month. It would be nice to generate the reports based on specific dates that we prefer and not have to wait until the next month for the current month’s report."
