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.

Provide DDoS protection and better security at effective rate
It is expanding its number of data centers for scrubbing traffic. Currently, there is only one POP for cleaning in South Africa. They might add another POP in North Africa, possibly in Nigeria or Egypt. Latency concerns customers, especially in regions like East and West Africa, where traffic has to travel to South Africa before returning. Increasing the number of POPs across the continent would help address these latency issues and improve overall service. While the platform is already quite strong, there’s always room for improvement, especially in keeping up with emerging trends and new types of attacks. Enhancing security capabilities could be beneficial. Integrating more advanced AI features could significantly improve its effectiveness and help customers leverage these tools more effectively. It would be great to see more focus on AI integration to handle and analyze data more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"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."
"It's a great product because it's scalable, has great coverage, and is mature with good defenses against DDoS attacks."
"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."
"The UI is good."
"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."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"When using services like Heroku, Cloudflare is very useful for CNAME flattening. I also use it for their end-to-end SSL with TLS authentication on nginx for securing servers."
"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."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"​Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"It has helped improve load speed on the site."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"The technical support is excellent."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"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."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"DNS Management."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"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."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"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."
"Certificate management could be improved."
"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"A limited tool if you're looking to customize."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"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."
"A free version of the solution is available."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"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​."
"For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."
"For enterprise contracts you will be in touch with a dedicated account manager who will guide you regarding licensing."
"It is expensive."
"We have an issue with Imperva Incapsula in the Iraqi market because of the high price."
"Pricing could be more competitive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is not expensive compared to the other similar solutions in this category."
"The data packages are higher than our needs so we end up paying for data that we don't use."
"The cost is on par with other solutions such as Cloudflare and Akamai."
