What differentiates AWS Shield from other similar products?
Unquestionably, one of AWS's best solutions is a network firewall. It must still be the finest, though. The network structure of VPCs in Amazon is more complicated than it needs to be. Yet, one benefit is that it has a flexible design. Managed rules have recently become available. The more improved content there is, the easier it will be.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The system was easy to design and operate, and Amazon Firewall Manager made administration straightforward. There are fewer administrative requirements and resource limitations with the Managed Services option. Installation and use are made simpler by the public cloud's built-in integration. Built-in IPS avoidance of maintenance costs and dependency on physical infrastructure. The system's ability to scale up or down in response to the demands of a particular resource is an important feature.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Support for the product is only offered if we are enrolled in the developer support plan because the device requires expert assistance during the first configuration. It is difficult to configure or sync different systems. Ordinary admins must use the command line to assemble the rules for various categories manually.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Used for a project that uses AWS and has a vast user base. We may use the program to track security holes and monitor general network activities to update the network quickly. The provider is willing and eager to cooperate with our company. It has been enjoyable to get to know the staff members personally.
