Azure DDoS Protection
Nice PickDevelopers should use Azure DDoS Protection when deploying critical applications on Azure to protect against volumetric, protocol, and application-layer DDoS attacks that can disrupt services
Pros
- +It is essential for e-commerce sites, gaming platforms, and enterprise applications where uptime is crucial, as it integrates seamlessly with Azure services like Virtual Networks and Application Gateway
- +Related to: azure-virtual-network, azure-application-gateway
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Cloudflare DDoS Protection
Developers should use Cloudflare DDoS Protection when building or maintaining web applications that require high availability and security, such as e-commerce sites, SaaS platforms, or APIs exposed to the internet
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for mitigating large-scale volumetric attacks, application-layer attacks, and bot-driven threats, reducing downtime and infrastructure costs without requiring on-premise hardware
- +Related to: cloudflare-workers, web-application-firewall
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Azure DDoS Protection if: You want it is essential for e-commerce sites, gaming platforms, and enterprise applications where uptime is crucial, as it integrates seamlessly with azure services like virtual networks and application gateway and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Cloudflare DDoS Protection if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for mitigating large-scale volumetric attacks, application-layer attacks, and bot-driven threats, reducing downtime and infrastructure costs without requiring on-premise hardware over what Azure DDoS Protection offers.
