Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing model is very straightforward compared to the competition. You just pay per month for the product and usage."
  • "We pay $210 per month for CloudFlare WAF."
  • "The annual licensing fee is $10,000 USD."
  • "Cloudflare offers different types of subscriptions for businesses, enterprises, and personal users, and the pricing is negotiable."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I believe the pricing is not the best, but it's reasonable and acceptable. We also use the McAfee system in parallel. In terms of pricing, its okay - not great, but not bad either. It falls in the middle, which is acceptable. In terms of support licensing, last time, we were searching for a solution, and we considered products from resellers rather than directly from the cloud provider. However, the pricing we encountered was exceptionally high. As a result, we are inclined to select support from the reseller."
  • "The solution's pricing option needs to be more transparent for enterprise clients."
  • "Cloudflare Web Application Firewall is more affordable than other solutions."
