Cons

For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable.""There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved.""The onboarding process can be improved a little bit.""Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support.""Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."
