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.

Helps to manage data and secures configuration
We use Amazon Macie to manage data.  The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe.  I have been using the product for three years.  The tool's deployment is easy.  Amazon Macie is worth its money.  I rate the tool an eight out of ten.  Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Sumit Bhanwala - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"The tool's performance is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365."
"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."
"Overall, the solution does a pretty good job at web filtering."
"Sandboxing, DLP, and SSL inspection engine are the most valuable features of Zscaler SASE."
"The in-line DLP feature is one of the most vital features"
"It's one of the easier products on the market as far as set-ups and deployments. Even across their whole product suite, they've made it pretty simple."
"The VPN is great for the stability on offer and for the cloud updates and insights you can get."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"The product is not reliable."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools."
"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."
"There are latency issues with the solution. They are small, however, they are there when you compare it to other vendors."
"Sometimes, support takes time since the solution has some bugs that need fixing."
"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."
"There could be more DLP-related features. Additionally, there needs to be flexibility for integrating ISP features."
"We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"The product's pricing is cheap."
"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"You need to pay per usage."
"As per industry leads, Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"The price is competitive."
"Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"It is an auto-renewal subscription service."
"Pricing for Zscaler Private Access is moderate. It's acceptable, though I can't give you the exact price currently. It's not too expensive, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"It's expensive currently. But when purchasing for a large number of users, there's room to negotiate. It's really up to the procurement team."
"It's an affordable solution"
