Spencer Malmad - PeerSpot reviewer
It's easy to set up because you point the DNS to it, and it's working in under 15 minutes
Cloudflare is highly scalable. Cloudflare is a system with a web portal that the end users like me see. It's a console where we can adjust the DNS, caching, and security features all in that console. Cloudflare owns thousands of servers across the world that cache the data. It's a powerful solution. When clients sign up for Cloudflare, they're getting this monster content delivery network, security, and a web application firewall in one. It's all rolled into one, and it's massive. Unless you have your website hosted on a massive hosting provider, there's no way that you can deliver the amount of data that Cloudflare can provide to the end users. If you have static content, there's no way that you can ever match what Cloudflare can do. Obviously, there are competitors to Cloudflare that do the same, but I'm saying other types of solutions. Let's say you go with F5. Great, that's on-prem. That's in your colo. You can't deliver as much data to the internet as you can with a CDN. You don't have to spend $20,000 on a net scaler, F5, or whatever Cisco's selling now. You don't have to buy that. You pay them $50 a month or $150 a month. It's totally worth it because even in five years, you'll never get the performance value, not just the actual ROI. You have to consider how much throughput you can get with Cloudflare.

Enhances email security and has a very simple and easy-to-use UI
Spam protection is the most valuable feature. We have implemented the tool to enhance our email security. It helps prevent phishing attacks. The anomaly detection capabilities are baked into the security platform. The product integrates wonderfully with Microsoft 365. It's built right on a cloud platform and works almost natively. The solution has a very simple and easy-to-use UI. The tool appears extremely powerful and has a good solid feature set. It catches things that are bad for my environment. The user interface is good the way it is. If the solution continues down that path, I see no problems with the way it is going. It feels like a mature product.

Implements confidentiality principles effectively
Over the years, a lot has changed, so it is not that much at the moment. I know they are all working on changing the look and feel, the UI. It is always good to have a more modern look and feel than the old-school square blocks. Other than that, it's mainly support. Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies. It's not always the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."
"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 solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"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 most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"The technical support is good."
"Spam protection is the most valuable feature."
"The ease of installation and the AI capacity of the product are valuable."
"Easy to use for non-technical users."
"It is simple to deploy this platform and interact with the set features."
"The threat detection tools enable us to ascertain malware and phishing messages across the email network infrastructure."
"It can retract unsafe emails and remove them from the entire communication channel."
"It can detect corrupted files and filters out documents with viruses."
"This technology is one of Check Point's acquisitions, and it is currently a powerful tool that provides all the protection that is not found in other tools."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do."
"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve its automation."
"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 lacking."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"The cost can be reviewed to enable SMEs to acquire it and enjoy great security features."
"There are times when we have false positives."
"The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."
"It is complicated for new users unfamiliar with the modern cloud networking infrastructure."
"It should reduce the amount of time needed for thorough scanning."
"The system response in a slow computing device affects performance when sending and receiving emails."
"It should also offer a quick backup in case any email is wrongly quarantined or deleted to ensure no data loss."
"Familiarization with performance for new teams may take a long time."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would rate the solution seven out of ten based on my last experience within the last six months. It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the price a five out of ten."
"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."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"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."
"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 product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"Avanan’s price is comparable to Barracuda."
"The product is not the cheapest in the market."
"Good pricing arrangement as an SaaS offering."
"The pricing of Avanan is reasonable."
"Having the flexibility and modeling to do the pricing that best fits the needs of the organization is incredibly ideal. That is what Avanan does. They know exactly how many users are using it, etc. We can tune the invoicing associated with how we are using the product so we can charge it back to the shows appropriately."
"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
