Has helped manage client domains with streamlined access control and threat visibility

I don't know what areas could be improved with Cloudflare WAF; Cloudflare is constantly improving and adding features to their feature set. They're doing a good job, and as far as DNS and support for any domains that I create or my clients create, it's mandatory for me to make sure that they have Cloudflare as their DNS provider. The Cloudflare load balancing capability hasn't really helped in enhancing my website's uptime and resiliency because we don't really get that much traffic; it's mostly remote users, and web hosting is done by a web hosting service. It doesn't pay to try to host your own website.

Management console adds value and technical support delivers timely solutions

I had issues with the user interface because, when putting settings up, the system asked me for strange things like virtual local networks that I didn't create. For example, I set an NTP server, and after some clicks, a message appeared stating 'setup is incorrect'. It asked for a VLAN even though no VLANs were created. We had to find workarounds for issues like A10 blocking necessary traffic, sometimes leading to decreased security, because it was the simplest way to deal with them. This was a real issue. A more flexible policy for demo licenses would also be helpful.

A cost-effective choice for website security and informative support with issues related to CDN quality

One area where they could improve is in providing real-time support options because now you need to open a support ticket and wait for their response. It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance. I have found their Content Delivery Network service to be lacking in quality, and it could certainly be enhanced to provide better performance. I would also like to see improvements in the deployment process, as it currently takes more time than desirable. Another significant concern is that their service when your website is down, turns it into a static site. This means that if customers try to visit your site during downtime, they will see old content from the static site, which is not ideal. The CDN and tracking services are areas that need improvement, as well as addressing their bandwidth limitations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Cloudflare makes it easier for me to handle and set up DNS for multiple users and multiple clients, and basically go in and access their account, make the changes they need, and it's a one-stop shop."

"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"

"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."

"The overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."

"It's a great product because it's scalable, has great coverage, and is mature with good defenses against DDoS attacks."

"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."

"It is a fast and secure DNS."

"Centralized, full-featured DNS."

More Cloudflare pros

"They give us the ability to configure many features for DDoS. There are many items that we can use."

"I had a rather positive experience with A10 Networks Support Service."

"It is a scalable solution."

"Thunder TPS has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack. They have engineers available to respond."

"We selected the solution because of its programmable automated defense using RESTful API. We didn't want to connect to the box. We wanted to be able to do some automation. We wanted to have our own portal because we wanted to connect our customers to our own UI using the A10 API. It has been good and exactly what we need."

"The product's initial setup phase is very simple."

"Based on previous equipment that we had, it's amazing that this device can do what it can do in a 1U form factor. The devices that we have right now have never gone over capacity and we've actually mitigated some pretty large attacks."

"The solution has reduced the amount of manual intervention required during an attack. We have the inline solution and when it comes to the customers that we have on it, it has saved us some troubleshooting time."

More A10 Thunder TPS pros

"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."

"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."

Cons

"We are a product integrator and reseller, and we would like to have a better partner relationship, similar to a channel sales relationship. Sometimes we are on our own or get diverted by Cloudflare because they have direct sales, which competes with us and makes it difficult to build a relationship with this company since we want to be an MSP or a managed service provider for the solution."

"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."

"Support response time could be improved."

"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."

"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."

"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."

"Technical support is lacking."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

More Cloudflare cons

"It is very difficult to implement. It should be made a bit easier to implement. There is also a lack of resources on the internet. They need to develop more resources."

"The solution needs improvement in terms of fail-open."

"The problem here is when you buy another box from A10, they want to put Thunder TPS to run, and it works okay, after which we cannot block it for another solution to be used, which is a problem for me where improvements are needed."

"We currently do not use the solution's machine-learning-powered Zero-day Automated Protection because of an issue with it... We also use the aGalaxy platform, which is a management platform for the TPS devices. The issue is that some TPS features were added at the TPS level but weren't carried over to aGalaxy, and we manage all of our devices through aGalaxy. So we can't actually use some of the new features that are available on the TPS because that functionality doesn't exist in aGalaxy. That is one of my biggest complaints."

"We have had some issues with implementation. So, it is the only area that needs improvement."

"I would like for them to develop an advanced reporting feature."

"The solution is a little expensive."

"The upgrade process for the boxes is not efficient. We have to go through the A10 aGalaxy where we have issues, like timeouts. They told me it was fixed in the latest version, but I tried to do it on the Portal and it is not working all the time."

More A10 Thunder TPS cons

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."

"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."

"We are using the free tier of the solution."

"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."

"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."

"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."

"The product's pricing is cheap."

"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"Pricing was much higher with Arbor (APS) for the same type of solution."

"We may need to pay fifty percent more if we purchase other solutions. For the payments made to A10 Thunder TPS, we have received three-year support."

"Pricing is very reasonable."

"The tool is expensive. If one is low price and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a ten."

"The financials are always a challenge with this type of technology. That's not really a product-functionality thing but it's the area where we push A10 the most."

"We had a customer who was down for six hours and the loss of revenue for him was three times the price he was paying for us per year. The customer just said, "I don't care about paying you because on only one attack I saved money. It's three times better than losing money.""

"We did a price survey, and compared to other solutions, A10 Thunder TPS wasn't cheap."

"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."

"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."

"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
