Streamlined lead capture has boosted web performance and made form handling more efficient
Currently, we are not using Cloudflare's security suite to the level much, as Cloudflare by default provides DDoS support; we are just using Cloudflare's DDoS support, which by default protects against denial-of-service attacks. I have used Cloudflare Workers' key-value pair for data storage. It has helped with data access efficiency, especially the data collection of the forms, as key-value pairs are easy to connect, and we are able to validate information much sooner, checking the mobile number. I assess the execution speed of Cloudflare Workers to be faster, at least providing a 30-40% increase compared to traditional server-based architectures, at a minimum. I have noticed time efficiency as the best return on investment with Cloudflare Workers; I am not seeing anything else, as time is the major one. We are planning to integrate WebAssembly with Cloudflare Workers, but we have not done it. I think we are good with Cloudflare Workers as we were having initial troubles with the ID integration, such as Visual Studio Code, but they have started adding some support when we start using their default packages, which can test locally as well as work in deployment; it is easier now, although the documentation can improve. I think the pricing of Cloudflare Workers is decent; it is good.

Has supported day-to-day operations through reporting, ticketing, and automation features
I am still using ServiceNow Now Platform. I have worked with Qualys in one of my customers, but not much. I wanted to know whether there is any module of Rubrik in ServiceNow Now Platform. I am an end user and do not work with the solution provided for ServiceNow Now Platform separately. I work with ServiceNow Now Platform. I have not worked with app development capabilities. Regarding the integration capability of ServiceNow Now Platform, I can say it is compatible with most of the technologies for my connectivity with other systems. I cannot comment on analytics insights, as I have not worked on it, so I cannot say it improved my service efficiency. I do not remember if I have worked with something different for the same purpose. My overall rating for this review is eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, Cloudflare Workers is a very good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge."
"The overall positive impact and benefits I have observed since starting to work with Cloudflare Workers have been good; easy testing, setting up, and testing and deployments are much simpler, and the performance is good with faster execution; it appears to be made for the use case that we want, so it is good."
"The primary feature we find valuable is data management."
"It is a scalable and a stable platform."
"The main reason that people use ServiceNow is that performance is very good."
"The integration with other tools is pretty good."
"ServiceNow Now Platform is very powerful in terms of data management."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution."
"The level of automation within the platform is great."
"ServiceNow Now Platform has a workflow automation feature that I have worked with, and it was helpful to streamline my processes since I worked with the integration of NetBackup and a monitoring tool for creating tickets and auto-resolutions."
 

Cons

"In general, the security of the product could be improved with minimal latency due to its many points of presence."
"The stability and reliability of Cloudflare Workers have been good, except for a few incidents that happened recently where Cloudflare was down, causing some disturbances very lately, in the last few months."
"Monitoring needs improvement. It's a bit difficult to understand how many failures occur and manage logging effectively."
"The analytics should be more readily available on the base product."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's technical support needs to improve."
"The UI is very bad and needs to be updated."
"The user experience could be improved. The current design of forms lacks intuitiveness, as there seems to be only one form available for all types of operations."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
"The solution doesn't allow users to create custom tables, which would be a big improvement."
"It is still difficult to build a set of services in ServiceNow. It can be done, but it is one of the more difficult things to do. If we're talking about scalability, we're talking about the ability to actually build that set of services a little easier."
"The cost has room for improvement. It is currently expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
"The product is very expensive."
"Price-wise, I would describe the product's cost to be more than the average, but it compensates for that with the functionalities that it provides."
"There are extra expenses for maintaining the product apart from the licenses."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"Most of the features are included in the licensing cost. However, if we need extra plugins that are not available at the ServiceNow Hub or store, then we have to pay extra for those."
"The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
