Adaptive data controls have protected sensitive records and now need stronger AI-driven triage
Some of the best features Adaptive Data Security Platform offers include automated sensitive data discovery, which relies on machine learning to automate crawling of unstructured repositories and map and classify data assets. Automated Sensitive Data Discovery and mapping have greatly helped by structuring unstructured repositories and data. Additionally, a behavioral anomaly detection feature is greatly used in most financial customers. Adaptive Data Security Platform has positively impacted the organization by enabling dynamic elevation of friction instead of completely blocking a user, which might disrupt operations. Adaptive Data Security Platform has greatly saved time and improved compliance, also helping to gain trust from customers.

Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites
I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Pros

"Adaptive Data Security Platform has greatly saved time and improved compliance, also helping to gain trust from customers."
"The best features Adaptive Data Security Platform offers include real-time monitoring and AI-driven capabilities, which stand out."
"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."
"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."
"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."
"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."
"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."
"What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection."
 

Cons

"A return on investment has not yet been seen with Adaptive Data Security Platform because it is unclear if it will even be used; it is still a very early phase."
"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."
"The response time for support must be reduced."
"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."
"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."
