Free trial, easy to use, and lots of options
Pros and Cons
  • "The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly."
  • "It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later."

What is our primary use case?

When I started to blog on social media and had a few followers, everything suited me. Then I started promoting my services, and social media functionality was no longer useful. 

I decided to build a website to process the orders. It also annoys me that the quality of photos and videos is constantly being cut. I use such expensive photography equipment, yet the quality is awful anyway. I have a standard blogging set: a lot of photos and videos, and I plan to stream, also. Therefore, page loading speed and points of presence in several countries were important to me.

How has it helped my organization?

It's very good that G-Core has a trial with the ability to test all the functions. They have a bunch of tier plans, and when starting, it may not be clear which features you need and which you don’t. 

Also, I wanted to test if their hosting is really as fast as they say and if there are any glitches. 

While there was little traffic on my site, I used a free CDN plan for several months and bought hosting. 

Everything works great from the first day of use. Now, I have already switched over to another tier, as the traffic has increased

What is most valuable?

G-Core is the second provider I use. There were problems with streaming, although the number of people at that time was small. The video constantly dragged, and there were problems with buffering. That’s the biggest improvement for me, as far as all my work is related. I'm now showing a high-quality and good-looking picture. After I started using G-Core, this problem with low-quality images disappeared. 

I also monitor the statistics of devices from which my content is viewed the most, and it’s good that there is a traffic-splitting function. 

The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly. In the beginning, I had some problems and used their support a lot.

What needs improvement?

When I was setting up a website, I did not have a specialist who would help me to understand what settings I needed or didn't need at all. I’ve read a lot of information to understand what exactly is appropriate for my blog. It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later. While it's great that there are trial periods and user-friendly interfaces, still, you can go crazy.

A firewall solution with CDN and DDoS protection
Pros and Cons
  • "Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
  • "The pricing could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

Cloudflare is typically a firewall. There are several editions available, such as the free edition.

The solution’s scalability is good.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

We never need to contact customer service.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and takes a few hours. One person can do that.

What about the implementation team?

​I did the deployment myself as a solution architect.

What other advice do I have?

You might be on the free edition, depending on your chosen edition. With the free edition, you receive the top ten protection services.

If Microsoft offered something similar to Cloudflare at the same price, it would be much better because you're already on Azure utilizing resources for CI/CD and transitioning to Cloudflare. From the most basic functionalities to the highest level, they are all awesome if you prevent unauthorized access to your website data through penetration testing.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
