Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Sanchit Sinha - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"The last-mile delivery, which is happening, is great."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"​Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
"It has helped improve load speed on the site."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."
"Technical support is not well developed. While there are good engineers, Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"The logging and transparency in the logs and what they are logging could be improved."
"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 pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."
"The price is reasonable."
"We are using the free version."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
Information not available
"I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."
"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​."
