Advanced protection has secured critical web workloads and provides clear traffic visibility
From a security perspective, there remains a security loophole, as some browsers in the market can bypass the Turnstile solution, which requires approximately 40 seconds to do so. From a performance perspective, this is acceptable. We also tried Google reCAPTCHA, and that can also be bypassed. From a security perspective, I would say neither solution is completely secured. Regarding uptime, we have faced a couple of incidents due to Cloudflare in recent years, so I cannot say we receive 100% uptime for our region. We sometimes face challenges, including downtime and other issues. As a result, we are not receiving 100% uptime from Cloudflare's solution. Since most of our customers are in this region, we need alternatives. We need something more competitive than Cloudflare. Unfortunately, in Bangladesh, Cloudflare has three points of presence already, and we cannot find any other solution provider in Bangladesh as an alternative, which presents another challenge. Competitor solutions have more attack signatures, which ensure better security compared to Cloudflare's predefined configurations. Customers do not have options to modify any configuration parameters in Cloudflare, whereas other competitor solutions, such as F5 Distributed Cloud, allow customers to tune configurations according to their requirements. Cloudflare could improve in this area. Additionally, regarding visibility, Cloudflare has static visibility, but they could adopt dynamic graph features for their customers.

Streaming has delivered global live events smoothly and improves viewer engagement and retention
The standout feature of Akamai Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD) for me is its adaptive bitrate streaming, which is seamless and ensures quality for everyone, and also, the global reach and real-time analytics stand out as they give us both scale and insight. For those live events, we leverage adaptive bitrate streaming heavily, as it dynamically adjusts based on user bandwidth, and we also tap into real-time analytics to spot any delivery issues fast. This combination ensures viewers get smooth, high-quality streams. Akamai Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD) integrates smoothly with our existing cloud setup, and it's scalable, helping us maintain reliable media delivery as our audience grows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."
"The solution is a great fit for customers who want unlimited bandwidth."
"What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering, so it's a valuable tool."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"Many websites require an SSL certificate because they sell stuff and want SSL. Cloudflare comes with an SSL certificate built in. It's automatic. You sign yourself up for Cloudflare, and an SSL certificate automatically protects your website. You don't necessarily need a certificate if you have a connection between your website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host."
"I didn’t have to pay anything for better website security and reduced server load."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"We have seen reduced buffering and smoother playback with Akamai Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD), especially during peak events, and uptime is solid while audience engagement improved, as more viewers stick around."
"The last-mile delivery, which is happening, is great."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"CDN77 has helped improve load speed on the site."
"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"​Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"Perhaps I would ask that they improve the Free plan and allow us to use it with any TLD (certain ones are not allowed)."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"Access to the solution's dashboards is not intended for a service company. You are practically blind, and to validate a problem, you must view the customer's screen."
"At the end, it is worth than giving your house keys to the NSA."
"For the services I am using, it is a bit expensive."
"I would say that even more granular analytics would help Akamai Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD), such as viewer behavior breakdowns, and also easier self-serve configuration could streamline onboarding, but overall, it's already strong."
"The logging and transparency in the logs and what they are logging could be improved."
"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content."
"Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others."
"If you are a low-use user and not used the minimum credit, it will be lost at end of year unless you upgrade, then you are left with more bandwidth than you can ever use."
"If you are a low-use user and not used the minimum credit, it will be lost at end of year unless you upgrade, then you are left with more bandwidth than you can ever use."
"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"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."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
Information not available
"For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."
"Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others. I suggest a lower recharge level and also to remove the credit expiry time​."
"I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."
