More Fortinet FortiDDoS Pros →

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server.""The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization.""It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website.""The initial setup was very easy.""The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use.""Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

Cons
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure.""There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall.""Alerts and reporting features must be improved.""The product’s pricing needs improvement.""I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often.""The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills.""I would like to see analytics, big data.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."

More Fortinet FortiDDoS Cons →

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection.""Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives.""It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance.""In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there.""Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section.""I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's quite pricey."
  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • "The product’s pricing needs improvement."

  • "I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
  • "Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."
  • "The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."
  • "It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

    Questions from the Community

    Top Answer:The product's initial setup phase was really easy.
    Top Answer:The pricing for FortiDDoS was on the expensive side for us, and the scalability options were limited. When upgrading from 10 GB to 20 GB, the process involved replacing the entire box rather than a… more »
    Top Answer:The initial setup was very easy.
    Top Answer:The pricing is very reasonable. Sucuri offer other features as an add-on, such as backup, but these have an additional cost. We host the sites ourselves, so I don't take it because it was redundant.
    Top Answer:The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection. In future releases, perhaps Sucuri could… more »
