I've used many of the existing DDOS/WAF products in the marketplace - at scale.
Neustar was $2k/mo just to be able to use their NOT always-on solution. They charged me $8k every time I wanted to turn it on, which I believe was for 48-72 hours.
Incapsula was an always-on service, which was more affordable, but their strategy seemed to be to bring us in at a good price and then slowly over time keep increasing rates. Eventually there was a huge influx of bandwidth shortly before our renewal (which to this day appears to have been caused by Incapsula themselves). They demanded we increase our package to the next highest, which was ridiculously cost prohibitive.
CloudFlare was similarly priced to Incapsula. I like my friends over there but we haven't been able to do business yet.
MojoShield bills us a fraction of what any of these solutions cost. The solution is comparable and there's virtually no way I could have sourced the price myself. Its the same as our bandwidth with MojoCDN .. we have saved so much money with MojoCDN I could buy everyone in this thread a new car with the savings. Not joking.
The rates Mojo can charge are based on big clients making it more affordable for the little guys, and he extends those prices to everyone.
Brad shoots himself in the foot to give customers big savings. I deal with him because its cheaper than going direct pretty much every time and I have someone to help me when I need.
