Here are some points below that I like about DDoS mitigation:

1. Behavior-based detection for the highest accuracy.

2. Early detection of network abuse and intrusion in peacetime.

3. Most granular SLA - Fastest DDoS attack mitigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislike about the DDoS is that the tech support is not supportive, Response time is higher than usual, and Licensing cost is very high compared to other products. So these are some pain points of the customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
