Things are significantly better now, I can't comment on how good the aid is if you are under attack since we always had a team ready to handle DDoS, however, their follow-up has always been fast.

Regarding security features, if you are on a cloud such as GCP, AWS or Azure things are complicated since you can't easily route the traffic elsewhere(you can have BGP connections to DDoS mitigation inside GRE/L2TP tunnels only when attacks occur and it would be cheap to rent on a monthly/yearly basis). Voxility is an example that comes to mind and they are very affordable in general terms.

HTTP or HTTPs attacks are easier to handle with Cloudflare, however, there are other interesting solutions such as Stackpath.
