We performed a comparison between Azure DDoS Protection and Cloudflare based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution is the best option for us because we use a lot of Microsoft products. So, it is easy for us to deploy or integrate any features or products."
"DDoS Protection is simple to deploy and integrates seamlessly with the Azure environment. Ease of deployment is a crucial feature for us."
"The most important feature is that the solution continuously monitors traffic by inbuilt rules to identify preconfigured attacks."
"I like the user interface, documentation, and support. Azure DDoS Protection is one of the most valuable solutions for any endpoint that is publicly reachable through the internet. It will automatically secure all your endpoints from third-party attacks, cyber attacks, or phishing attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Azure DDoS Protection is that it performs well."
"Azure DDoS Protection offers superior protection against denial-of-service attacks."
"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"The UI is good."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"Sometimes, it is hard for our staff to keep track of changes (in the GUI) between different projects, because there are constant changes. As a result, it is hard to manage, recall, and see all the features because they have been moved from one place to another."
"The visibility could be better. We would like to have better metrics, so we could see all the information in a central place."
"Azure DDoS Protection could improve on the reporting."
"The UI needs to be improved."
"The reporting aspect and dashboard management monitoring need improvement."
"The implementation of Azure DDoS Protection results in a decrease in our bandwidth capacity and should be optimized to reduce resource consumption."
"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."
"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"Support response time could be improved."
"Technical support is lacking."
"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."
