Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."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."
"When using services like Heroku, Cloudflare is very useful for CNAME flattening. I also use it for their end-to-end SSL with TLS authentication on nginx for securing servers."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"The simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"It's very user-friendly."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"I like the concept of self-service, that I can do everything on my own."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"One area of improvement is in the Access Rules. Hypothetically, if we wanted to block or challenge traffic outside of the United States, the only way to currently do that (as far as I know) is to enter every single country outside of the United States. That could be a labor intensive job. A solution could be to enable users to create a rule where traffic is only allowed within a certain country."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."
"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"The user interface can be improved."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
