How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Managed mitigation and whether a WAF is included add useful distinctions; free-plan availability and paid-from pricing bring cost into the comparison. F5 BIG-IP APM, Gcore DDoS Protection, and AWS Shield are among the named options. Consider the services you need to protect and use the listed capabilities to assess how each product describes its coverage and mitigation approach.
