Unified cloud security has simplified multi-cloud visibility and streamlined developer workflows
Cloudanix could improve by addressing the limitations in terms of customization. The feature expectations suggest that integrating products such as Slack for IAM workflows or enhancing asset management visibility would give it overall weightage. Enhancing customization is necessary because the current limitations cause some drawbacks in its performance that should be improvised. Regarding needed improvements, I feel that the primary strength of Cloudanix lies in unified security governance and IAM. It needs further improvement in risk correlation and attack path analysis; additionally, it requires richer dashboards to enhance the UI and usability as well. The attack path analysis is a key area that needs further industry-level enhancement, while the integration aspect is a growing ecosystem that requires improvements over time. Additional improvements Cloudanix needs include enhancing the enterprise-grade support experience.

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.

Pros

"Choosing Cloudanix has proven very efficient and intuitive, and it remains easy to handle compared to other products available in the market."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"Cloudflare's DNS services deliver the best performance in terms of speed and reliability."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"I have not had a DDOS attack since, or at least not become unavailable due to DDOS which means my ROI is pretty good."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"Cloudflare has made management of my website much easier by combining various functions in one platform without compromising quality."
"Cloudflare has many features."

Cons

"Cloudanix could improve by addressing the limitations in terms of customization."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"With CDN loads, sometimes we get an error that the host server is unavailable when the connection between CloudFlare and the server timed out."
"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"Technical support is lacking."

"I rate technical support quite badly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"A free version of the solution is available."
"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."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
"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 cheap."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
