Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Compared with the competitors, the solution provides better security features, including web protection firewall and DDoS protection.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup process is complicated. You need to include the right security policy and discover the attack trends. The time taken for implementation depends on the project requirements.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution's price is reasonable. Although, it is a bit expensive for small companies. The cost of its licenses depends on the specific project requirement.

I advise others to study their requirements while choosing DDoS protection thoroughly. They should know if the CDN is limited to their region or has a global reach. Also, DDoS attacks appear in different ways every single time. Thus, it is challenging to implement. It is crucial to know its surface, nature, and how to implement the security measures.
