Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"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."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"The UI is good."
"The solution does not have hardware or maintenance requirements and is very easy to scale."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"DNS Management."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"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."
"Latencies are always a problem."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"The solution needs additional product options for small and medium enterprises."
