Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"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."
"Many websites require an SSL certificate because they sell stuff and want SSL. Cloudflare comes with an SSL certificate built in. It's automatic. You sign yourself up for Cloudflare, and an SSL certificate automatically protects your website. You don't necessarily need a certificate if you have a connection between your website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host."
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Technical support is lacking."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"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."
"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."
"Latencies are always a problem."
"Support response time could be improved."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
