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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support on offer is excellent; they are very helpful and responsive, and we are quite happy with the level of service they provide to their customers."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"DDoS protection is this product’s most valuable feature."
"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."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"If someone is looking for a secure and optimized wrapper over an open website, I would suggest CloudFlare services."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"Tough to provide numbers, but avoiding downtime and calls from my employees when the VPN goes down was priceless."
"Support was outstanding when first setting up in trial mode and also after we had gone live with the product."
"We have improved our flexibility to deploy web-based or DNS based solutions globally and deliver services more reliably."
"Great performance, easy configuration."
 

Cons

"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"If they improve on the placement of their data centers, it would be better. I'm living in a remote area. I would like to connect to them without any kind of lag."
"Flexible SSL is nothing more than an illusion of security that you're presenting to your visitors."
"The installation was complex until I learned what I had to learn."
"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."
"My only recommendation might be a better, more modern interface."
"Just to be able to import records with our current DNS product which didn't seem to work with importing domains using AXFR zone transfer records."
"Compared to the other platforms, the interface is not as smooth, but the options and support help make that a non-issue."
"The email for each line change is excessive, perhaps if the change emails consolidated all changes per domain in a given hour."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"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."
"The price is reasonable."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
