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.

Yazan Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use tool with great GUI
The product's initial setup phase was really easy. There is a lot of time involved in the testing phase and other processes related to the area of deployment, so it may take up to two weeks to deploy the solution. The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. One person is enough to take care of the deployment phase of the product. The person involved in the deployment phase needs to better understand topologies when dealing with Fortinet.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is user-friendly."
"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."
"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 simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"The overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"It's very user-friendly."
"It has helped improve load speed on the site."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"​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."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The equipment works very well, and I have not encountered any issues with it."
"Packet inspection has been effective for mitigating DDoS attacks."
"The equipment works very well, and I have not encountered any issues with it. It is a good solution for my company."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"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."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"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."
"The main improvement would be to change the firewall model, however, currently, everything is fixed and working well."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"The web interface could be much better."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"The challenge lies within the customer environment, particularly in Brazil, where companies have stringent security requirements for implementing solutions."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"We are using the free version."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
"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."
"I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."
"For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."
"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​."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"It's quite pricey."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
