Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites
I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Secures the business for customers quickly and accurately
It secures the business for the customers. For instance, if any phishing emails come into the environment and employees see it, we direct the email to Triage. The Triage system will investigate it through AI technology to see if it's a phishing email or not. If it is a phishing email, it will quarantine it and erase it from the environment.

Automates threat response and reduces investigation time but needs better threat intelligence integration
One thing that we would like to see with Splunk SOAR is the expandability to the threat intelligence feed. Currently, we have limited ingestion to the threat intelligence feed for the correlation purpose. We would like to see it being integrated, with license cost or without license cost, to leading threat intelligence sources such as Recorded Future, Feedly, or Flare. That is something we would appreciate having integrated. The second thing on the improvement side is about exposed credential-related information. If we start ingesting those data to Splunk SOAR or SIEM with some sort of integration with threat intelligence feed, that will also improve our detection and prediction method or help us with the investigation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."
"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."
"The blocking feature is very good."
"Cloudflare is simple to use."
"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."
"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."
"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."
"Enables me to work from two locations."
"It secures the business for the customers."
"For instance, if any phishing emails come into the environment and employees see it, we direct the email to Triage. The Triage system will investigate it through AI technology to see if it's a phishing email or not. If it is a phishing email, it will quarantine it and erase it from the environment."
"Fortunately, the system helps to parse through these alerts and determine which ones are important and need further investigation."
"Scalability is the best feature of the solution."
"The automation part of the product is great."
"Very flexible integration with other tools"
"Manually, investigation may take thirty minutes to several hours, but with the Splunk SOAR playbook, the same process can often be completed in a few seconds to a few minutes, up to five to ten minutes, leading to a reduction of fifty to ninety percent in response time."
"In terms of deployment, there were no issues. It was pretty seamless."
"The features of Splunk SOAR that I appreciate most are the integrations with all the other applications and tools."
"The most valuable features are the Splunk SOAR apps and playbooks."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."
"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."
"The response time for support must be reduced."
"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."
"Feedback could be enhanced. While I work efficiently with Clover as a partner in Mexico City, sometimes the information and requests are easier to manage with more concrete solutions."
"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."
"If they continue improving and enhancing this solution, it could be even faster and more accurate."
"I'd rate Splunk's technical support around five because compared to IBM QRadar, their support is much better. I feel Splunk should enhance their support, as it appears lacking, especially considering the costs associated with higher licenses."
"We've run into a few minor issues. Some of the playbook writing is a bit complicated. We've had a few hiccups with the source control. We'd really like to use GitHub deployment keys for a dedicated account. We haven't been able to do that. I think those are some of the major ones."
"I would rate Splunk Phantom a seven out of 10."
"I haven't used it fully, but based on my usage, I could not find simulation tools and features. It currently lacks simulation features, which are important for me for creating a playbook. It is also very expensive for my region."
"have put a number of ideas on the ideas.splunk.com site for feature requests for the Splunk SOAR product. I posted one of them about three years ago, which finally got implemented in the latest release that just got announced, so the time to implement new features and things like that is a little bit concerning."
"The tool's response is slower because it has to search through a huge dataset, which can be improved for latency."
"While I appreciate Splunk SOAR, there are areas for improvement, notably regarding the CI/CD pipeline for playbook lifecycle management, as transitioning playbooks from development to production currently feels cumbersome and requires more manual effort than I would prefer."
"One thing that we would like to see with Splunk SOAR is the expandability to the threat intelligence feed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"The solution is not that expensive."
"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The prices are slightly expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."
Information not available
"In my opinion, the price is high, but if you want good products, you have to be willing to pay for them."
"I found the price of Splunk SOAR to be good."
"When we first purchased our Splunk SOAR license, it was based on an event-count model. It was based on the number of events. I had strong opinions at the time that automation should not be stifled by the amount of automation you can accomplish, so the previous structure was not as beneficial for us. Later that year, we got told or saw at a conference that they announced user-based pricing. We are now in a renewal period, so we migrated to a user-based license model, which is more appropriate for us so that we no longer have to worry about stifling our automation based on the quantity."
"I don't know the exact price, but for my region, it is very expensive."
"Splunk SOAR is an expensive solution for an organization of our size."
"The licensing cost is reasonable."
"The tool is not cheap."
"The cost is high and the licensing is on an annual basis."
