I have used Fortinet FortiDDoS. Fortinet is a little bit cheaper. Both solution was effective. The management of Check Point solution is a little bit better. It is 50 percent cheaper than Fortinet. It's very modern now to have an AI in the management for fast finding of attacks or investigation. Check Point have these features in a new releases.

This is the worst type of support for me from Check Point. I work with many Check Point equipment and not only DDoS. Their support for DDoS Protector is not so good because this is basically Radware equipment. There is a very big delay between my questions or open requests and the solution. It doesn't matter whether it's software-related, configuration-related, or replacement-related. There has been an instance where Check Point needed to replace the equipment in five days, but I received the replacement after thirty days. The reason for such a service seems to be a mixture of incompetency and a lot of to-and-fro between Check Point and Radware. In my opinion, Check Point doesn't have skilled people for DDoS, and they forward all the questions and problems to Radware and wait for them to solve the problem. Check Point is only a proxy for such type of support in my opinion. Other customers might have a different opinion.

The expanded protection features are great. Its ability to detect and mitigate attacks in real-time is an essential feature for our company as it ensures the infrastructure is being protected from attacks at all times. It's important to understand that this type of objective attack (DDoS) is to overload the capacity of our infrastructure by making illegitimate requests. That is why detection and mitigation is a critical process for our organization. It helps reduce downtime of infrastructure capacity that is flooded with requests. The solution provides us with detection and reporting and multiple layers of protection to help identify and mitigate each type of attack.
