    DDoS-GUARD
    It is well suited for handling predictable surges (100,000 daily requests), defending against volumetric attacks and Quick Setup for new client onboarding with amazing DNS Integration. It is probably less effective or I would say there is scope for improvement against sophisticated multi-vector attacks and direct-to-origin threats bypassing its cloud protection when IPs are exposed.

    Cons
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • Sometimes it takes time to update device software.
    • It offers scalable payment licenses, however it is important to have a good knowledge of how to handle this type of device.
    • It does not allow the handling of several IP addresses, in addition it lacks a black and white list of data.
    • Its configuration can be complex for a first time user, so it is important to have adequate knowledge for the proper functioning of the devices.

    DDoS-GUARD
    The setup is straightforward. DNS rerouting and a clear client area wizard protect our 30+ client sites fast considering our small team. The real-time dashboard simplifies monitoring 100,000 daily requests, and 24/7 support resolves issues like rate-limit tweaks. It could be a 10/10 if API dashboard is more intuitive and if reporting could be more granular

    DDoS-GUARD
    We chose DDoS-GUARD for its cost-effective and flexible plans. This software had the ability to meet our requirements. That is to scale with our 30+ client websites and 100,000 daily requests. The Integration also seemed better than AWS ecosystems and simpler API management. This aligned better with our multi-platform needs and budget.
