We performed a comparison between CDN77, Cloudflare, and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, Microsoft, Akamai and others in CDN."I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"It has helped improve load speed on the site."
"Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"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."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"Cloudflare has many features."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"Imperva Incapsula has many valuable features. One, it protects the top 10 OWAS vulnerability, the open web application software platform, this is standard. Secondly, it protects against broken authentication. As well, it has remote execution of code."
"It fits our requirements, as well as our budget."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"DDoS protection and WAF are the most valuable features. It is easy to deploy a service. It is easy and quick to deploy to a new website."
"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."
"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"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."
"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."
"A limited tool if you're looking to customize."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"We would like them to hire people in Sweden because it's quite hard when people are sitting in the UK or Belgium because some of the customers really want them to be local."
"It would be better if we were able to manage and apply changes to multiple websites/web applications, and search WAF logs for multiple websites, via the Incapsula dashboard."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
