Azure DDoS Protection Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Group Chief of Enterprise Architecture & S/W Engineering/ CTO at Aventra Group3.5I typically enable Azure DDoS Protection for clients needing internet exposure, valuing its adaptive tuning and AI capabilities despite complex configuration. While costly for smaller businesses, larger organizations find its security benefits justify the expense.
Cloud Architect at Vision Bank3.5As a bank with multiple externally-exposed applications, we use Azure DDoS Protection for security, finding it essential despite its cost. However, the dashboard lacks insights, and improved auto-remediation with AI would enhance efficiency. We didn't evaluate alternatives like CrowdStrike.
Senior Manager at Ernst & Young4.0We use Azure DDoS Protection for various customer applications and business needs, appreciating its easy setup and scalability. It's stable and offers a good return on investment, though adding more services would be beneficial.
Azure Consultant at cloudshift4.5I use Azure DDoS Protection alongside Azure Firewall, Web Application Firewall, and Azure Front Door to safeguard our web applications. The integration is effective and cost-efficient, though I occasionally experience false positives with the Web Application Firewall.
Senior Manager ICT & at Bangalore International Airport Limited4.5I use Azure DDoS Protection to secure web applications against attacks and ensure legitimate traffic. It offers effective protection but decreases bandwidth. We switched from Microsoft Defender due to Azure's adaptive intelligence and comprehensive policy capabilities, seeing a positive ROI.
Head of Cloud Engineering at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.5We use Azure DDoS Protection to safeguard public IPs, appreciating its seamless integration and ease of deployment within Azure. However, we seek improved visibility and metrics. It's cost-effective, offering a manageable alternative to other solutions we've considered.
