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.

Automated threat intelligence and flow-based mitigation have improved our DDoS defense

A very useful feature in Arbor DDoS is its ability to send flow spec announcements to routers. For example, if it is clear that a Layer 3 or Layer 4 attack is occurring and the attack pattern is identified through source and destination IP addresses and ports, you can generate flow spec filters. These filters are transferred through BGP to border routers, which automatically build filters, mitigating the attack even at the network's boundary and preventing it from reaching the TMS. This allows the TMS to focus on other tasks. This is a highly effective feature that can mitigate huge volumetric attacks; for example, we experienced a 32-gigabit attack, and all those 32 gigabits were dropped by our border routers, not by Arbor DDoS itself. The flow spec announcement was generated by Arbor DDoS, and as far as I know, the same technology is used by Radware, but it comes under a different feature and a different license. At the time, we were told that flow spec mitigation was an additional very expensive license to purchase from Radware, while Radware included everything in one package.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my opinion, CloudFlare is one of the best CDN networks I have ever used."

"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."

"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."

"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."

"It is a fast and secure DNS."

"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."

"The overall performance of this solution is what makes it one of the best solutions on the market."

More Cloudflare pros

"Arbor's technical support is very good, we've had no issues with it."

"The feature I find most valuable is the packet capture, which beautifully shows the communication between the client and the server, identifying potential malicious activity."

"The most valuable feature of Arbor DDoS is that it is based in most of the ISPs all over the world, and Egyptian ISPs are one of them."

"The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."

"We have taken on the Arbor Cloud subscription, which is really useful because you secure yourself for anything beyond your current mitigation capacity. This is a really good feature of Arbor that is available."

"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."

"The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."

"The solution is really stable and is the most stable device in our topology."

More Arbor DDoS pros

"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."

"CDN77 has helped improve load speed on the site."

"Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."

"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

"We're facing challenges due to an upgrade in the machine learning model. The problem arises from some users abusing the APIs, resulting in an influx of suspicious traffic. Cloudflare's learning model mistakenly identifies this traffic as human. Consequently, it assigns it a higher trust score, akin to legitimate human traffic, causing complications in our architecture. Previously, such traffic would have been categorized as suspicious, enabling us to apply appropriate blocking rules. However, we encounter difficulties distinguishing between genuine and suspicious traffic with the new categorization. Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor."

"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."

"It would be beneficial for us if Cloudflare could offer a scrubbing solution. This would involve taking a snapshot of my website and keeping it live during a DDoS attack, ensuring uninterrupted service for our users. DDoS attacks are typically short in duration, and having Cloudflare maintain the site's availability from its secure network would enhance the overall user experience. I would appreciate it if Cloudflare could consider implementing this feature. Many organizations already utilize similar capabilities in their CDN platforms, where a static snapshot of the web page is displayed during DDoS attacks. In terms of features, Cloudflare needs to enhance its resilience and stay more focused on adopting new technologies. For instance, solutions like F5 XC Box, Access Solution, and Distributed Cloud Solution have impressive features, and Cloudflare should strive to match and exceed those capabilities. There's a need for improvement in areas like AI-based DDoS attacks and Layer 7 WAF features. Cloudflare should prioritize enhancements in areas such as behavioral DDoS and protection against SQL injection attacks, considering the prevalent trend of public exposure to the internet for business reasons. Overall, Cloudflare needs to invest more in advancing its feature set."

"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."

"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."

"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."

"There should at least be a read-only view of the data so that resellers can properly support the clients."

More Cloudflare cons

"In the default filter mode, there could be an impact on a customer’s link."

"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."

"Auto mitigation is a feature provided when DDoS is observed on any of link/customer (configured under auto mitigation). It automatically starts mitigation with default filters; in default filter mode, there could be an impact on the customer’s link, e.g., if we have enabled monitoring of internal traffic for that link/customer, it starts mitigation on legitimate traffic."

"If we want to see live traffic, we can do so, but once an attack that lasts for five minutes is done, the data is no longer there."

"They should improve the reporting section and make it a little bit more detailed. I would like to have much better and more detailed reports."

"There is some room for AI to take place."

"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."

"The implementation should be made easier."

More Arbor DDoS cons

"Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others."

"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."

"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."

"The product's pricing is cheap."

"A free version of the solution is available."

"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."

"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the software and implement some patches."

"Arbor's products are very expensive. Their competitors are cheap when compared with Arbor."

"I believe that the price of Arbor DDoS falls under the bracket of medium to high price."

"The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is expensive when compared to other tools."

"Our customers always complain about the price of the product."

"There is room for improvement with the pricing. It is an expensive solution. The issue with the pricing is more the way it is built. Right now we're paying per router, and there's a limitation there. I would like to see bundle-pricing where there is an overall solution cost."

"The solution is a bit costly if you're a small organization, but I think it's worth the price that they are charging."

"I'm a technical guy. But I know it's expensive compared to its competitors. After you have the on-premise solution, for your solution to be effective you have to subscribe to an "upper level," so there's another cost. There is also a subscription to cloud services, which is another cost."

More Arbor DDoS pricing and cost advice

"For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."

"I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."

"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."
