CV
Network Architect at IP Dimension
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.

Enterprise data protection has supported regulatory compliance and integrates with classification tools
In terms of functionality, many features are valuable in Digital Guardian, as the first thing for most customers is that they are using solutions such as Boldon James and Titus, which fall under the classification side, and Digital Guardian can easily integrate with this data classification solution and has a very granular level of configuration and policy tuning. Digital Guardian's data protection policies are indeed useful for my clients. Regarding Digital Guardian, I find it to be a very good solution, and in fact, it is an enterprise-level solution that has very tight integration with most of the products, with Fortra but also with others.

A market leader that integrates nicely with other McAfee security products and is quite stable
We are just customers and end-users. We are using the most up-to-date version available at this time. I'd advise potential new users that the key thing is to clearly understand what your requirements are and what your use cases are, and both your business requirements, your technical requirements, and your regulatory requirements. It's important to understand all of those. A company needs to clearly understand all the use cases it needs to manage and make sure they do the appropriate due diligence to find a product that can achieve all those requirements and handle all those use cases. It was an extensive process for us. We did about four to six months of paper-based due diligence - not even a field trial - to make that we were picking the right product. We leveraged a lot of outside vendor-neutral sources like Gartner. So far, I'd rate the solution at a nine 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

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."
"The blocking feature is very good."
"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."
"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."
"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."
"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."
"It is a stable solution."
"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."
"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."
"Data security is now one of the most important aspects for any organization."
"The technical support is really terrific."
"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations."
"For the price in the market, it is a little bit higher than Symantec and Forcepoint, however, I believe, especially in the manufacturing industry, it is the only solution that makes sense for them."
"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"Enhance your skills if you can to use Digital Guardian, in terms of data security, to its fullest."
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."
"Due to the fact that we bought a number of McAfee security products, one of the significant benefits for our company was the integration across multiple security controls, giving us a single pane of glass to monitor, administer, and manage multiple security controls."
 

Cons

"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."
"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."
"Feedback could be enhanced."
"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."
"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."
"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."
"For vendor support, such as Fortra support, I would rate it a seven because all the support comes from different parts that sometimes have challenges meeting time zones, and sometimes they reroute to distributors and rely on partners."
"Digital Guardian is an excellent solution but our experience with the partner has been the most horrible experience we have ever had with any partner."
"I think the whole system needs improvement, even though it works fine the way they designed it."
"Digital Guardian is, compared to other tools, more complex to implement."
"In my experience, the area closest for improvement is the occurrence of strong false positives."
"My biggest lesson learned from dealing with this product is that they commit to something but they don't deliver it."
"It would be helpful if there was an on-premise version of the solution for companies that cannot use the cloud, such as government sectors."
"The room for improvement with Digital Guardian is that it will be better with the Linux agent because it is the only DLP solution for Linux workstations. It still needs to upgrade the agents to the latest version for the Linux kernel."
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"The prices are slightly expensive."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"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 solution is not that 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."
"The price of Digital Guardian is expensive."
"The cost was around $300,000."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten because Digital Guardian is expensive."
"If I compare Digital Guardian with Symantec, the license cost is lower, but McAfee can be cheaper than Digital Guardian. It depends on how many licenses you plan to buy and how big the project is. The cost is not so high as Symantec, but not as cheap as McAfee. They can easily sell the solution for price."
"The price of Digital Guardian is on the higher end compared to other vendors."
"Digital Guardian has both, subscription and perpetual licenses, but I think when everything (all technologies) will go to the cloud they will only offer subscriptions."
