User Testimonials
	DDoS-GUARD	FortiDDoS
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized SS Sushil Sali Consultant Read full review	Fortinet It is suitable for use in the transaction service environment on the Internet, such as Web Service, Mobile App, Cloud Micro Service, blockchain trading platform, VDI for Work at Home. Not suitable for use in the company's internal decentralized trading system. Incentivized Melvin Ji Vice President & Product Manager Read full review
Pros	DDoS-GUARD Real-Time Traffic Filtering Integration Responsive Support Incentivized SS Sushil Sali Consultant Read full review	Fortinet FortiDDos solves the loss of business money caused by previous attacks that we have faced. Our company's business is mainly to provide Internet APP manufacturers with their client-side cash transaction services. Can react quickly when it is subjected to a malicious attack. Can quickly assist us in the follow-up response processing. It can be integrated with our existing NOC management platform. Has played complete monitoring and management capabilities.

Cons	DDoS-GUARD Detailed post-attack analytics Slow Response During Edge Cases More intuitive API dashboard Incentivized SS Sushil Sali Consultant Read full review	Fortinet No answers on this topic
Usability	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 Incentivized SS Sushil Sali Consultant Read full review	Fortinet No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized SS Sushil Sali Consultant Read full review	Fortinet No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	DDoS-GUARD It has ensured 99.9% uptime for 30+ client websites of ours during attacks. DDoS-GUARD has cut churn by 15%, retaining significant money in annual contracts. Our clients cite reliability as a key reason for renewals. Outsourcing DDoS mitigation to DDoS-GUARD saves us $50,000 yearly versus building an in-house solution. This helps and frees our team to focus on high-value app development and boosts our billable hours. With quick setup, we have been able to win 5 new contracts worth $75,000 annually and strengthened our position as a Cybersecurity Managed Services IT provider.
