Herb Angle

Owner at Hga consulting

Has helped manage client domains with streamlined access control and threat visibility

I don't know what areas could be improved with Cloudflare WAF; Cloudflare is constantly improving and adding features to their feature set. They're doing a good job, and as far as DNS and support for any domains that I create or my clients create, it's mandatory for me to make sure that they have Cloudflare as their DNS provider. The Cloudflare load balancing capability hasn't really helped in enhancing my website's uptime and resiliency because we don't really get that much traffic; it's mostly remote users, and web hosting is done by a web hosting service. It doesn't pay to try to host your own website.

Alerts organizations if any malware is detected and removes it quickly

The solution allows me to change my logo. It gives me a white-label portal because I am a partner. OWASP has been the most effective in malware prevention. It can detect if the headers are okay and do FTP scans. We get alerts if we have some malware. It is removed very quickly.

IshtiaqKhalil

Information Security Engineer at BOK

Displays flexible, user-friendly interface with minor licensing challenges

The product could be improved with a more intuitive interface for complex configurations and more advanced analytics. Additionally, enhanced security features, like a more robust Web Application Firewall, and stronger APIs for better automation would be beneficial. Overall, the main areas for improvement are in strengthening the advanced features to better meet the demands of large-scale enterprise environments. key features for the next release should focus on three areas. First, an enhanced, next-generation security suite with a more powerful Web Application Firewall (WAF) and integrated bot protection. Second, more advanced and customizable analytics dashboards to provide deeper insights into application performance. Finally, greater support for modern, cloud-native environments, including better APIs for automation and seamless hybrid-cloud traffic management

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."

"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."

"It is a fast and secure DNS."

"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."

"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."

"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."

More Cloudflare pros

"The solution is pretty stable. I've never faced pressing issues or hanging issue."

"The FIM feature, the information in the new management system, and their support are the most valuable features. The scanned results are quite fast as compared to other platforms compared to scanning timing. It takes about a minute or two minutes. Also, the results of the Comodo scan results are in detail."

"We get alerts if we have some malware."

"When you configure the listening services, you can implement a lot of security features like the Edge Security Pack that intercepts the requests and processes those before they are sent to the real servers."

"Edge Security Pack is valuable because of the way it separates between critical infrastructure and the public internet."

"The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook."

"Managing and maintaining multiple servers is done in a single place."

"From my personal experience, many firewalls provide Load Balancing functionalities, but Kemp Loadmaster has a lot of features and functionalities like what you can configure. So there are a lot of features but we use only five percent of it."

"The Global WAF has saved us more than one time from unwanted traffic."

"LoadMaster is easy to deploy and understand."

"We really like the performance of this solution."

More Kemp LoadMaster pros

Cons

"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."

"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."

"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."

"Integration involving API with other products could be more user-friendly."

"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."

"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."

"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."

"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."

More Cloudflare cons

"A small problem is from the support team. Sometimes they are a bit delayed."

"The portal is a little slow."

"The solution needs to build better performance, specifically in the hardware resources."

"In the web interface, there are a lot of settings in the different menus and it would be helpful if there were an interactive help system or tooltips to help the administrators find and configure the right settings."

"In the next release, Kemp should include the ability for LoadMaster to create different DNS record types."

"The product is really good as-is out of the box. If there is one thing I would change is to have the license file not be coupled with the MAC address of the device. This is actually not really useful in a virtual environment where if you have a single VM with KEMP LoadMaster and you have not set up static MAC Address, if you, for example, recreate the VM and just load the disk file on a new VM it will get new MAC address and the NLB will not work as it will not see a proper license."

"I would like to see more automation and control of overactive and inactive resources. If I could schedule these around our updates then it would be all automated. I would like to set up an automated script to coincide with the scripts I use to update resources and servers."

"When we go serverless, we may again have to revisit this because the configuration needs to be changed. With this change, we can run into a lot of other configurations that we haven't got into, which involve additional expenses. It would be challenging to convince management to buy at that price point. It would be a balancing act of justifying that expense and the value, that is, how it is going to save a bit of time and make our platform secure. It can have better configuration ability. A lot of iterations happen when we have multiple servers pointing to the same domain. If we do not orchestrate carefully, it gets into a loop, which takes away the precious time of the user who is trying to subscribe to a service. It takes a little longer time to realize services as well as web pages."

"The only thing I have struggled with is setting up automatic backups."

"Over the last several major versions, the GUI has remained virtually unchanged and still seems lacking."

"Some documentation is out of date versus the new version, and things have been moved."

More Kemp LoadMaster cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."

"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."

"The price is reasonable."

"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."

"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."

"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."

"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"Comodo cWatch’s first level, which has fewer features, costs $7."

"It is well-priced and licensing is very flexible."

"The Kemp LoadMaster is a tremendous value."

"The price of the solution is cheap."

"The costs for the Kemp Load Balancer solution are okay because, for a good product, you have to spend money."

"The price is lower than other options."

"From a cost perspective, Kemp is very competitive and is not hard to justify by any means."

"Less expensive than Citrix."

"The price is great and the value is definitely there."
