Featured Reviews

Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Christian Dagal - PeerSpot reviewer
Ease of sensitive information detection and provides flexibility to customize and redefine policies and user analytics that detect data channels
In my opinion, there's a need for an extensive skill set or knowledge of creating policies. There's room for improvement to make it more user-friendly in creating custom rules and policies. In future releases, I would like to see a quick glance at detected data without downloading the actual file for both Windows and MacOS.
ToddMcAlister - PeerSpot reviewer
Flexible, provides insights into the infrastructure, and monitors movement of files effectively
The product is flexible. It takes care of our cloud infrastructure. The tool meets our needs. The normal compliance policies work well. The behavior analysis features give us insight into what is going on in the network. The tool has been pretty effective in monitoring the files that are being moved. The network integration has been fine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"It's a great product because it's scalable, has great coverage, and is mature with good defenses against DDoS attacks."
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"We have accurate detection on data protection and more visibility on different data channels compared to other DLP solutions. So, basically, more on the principle, there is ROI."
"As long as you know the flow and how the setup phase works, the process can be totally straightforward."
"I find Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) easier and more appealing than Zscaler."
"The product is flexible."
"The Real-Time Analytics and Reporting capabilities of Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are good and up to the mark."
"The product provides visibility to manage sensitive data and control access."
 

Cons

"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"Support response time could be improved."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"Latencies are always a problem."
"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"The trouble with the tool is its ability to integrate with a third-party application."
"In my opinion, there's a need for an extensive skill set or knowledge of creating policies. There's room for improvement to make it more user-friendly in creating custom rules and policies."
"I have not seen any benefits from this real-time analysis at this time."
"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten. The pricing is moderate."
"The product should be compatible with multiple file formats."
"Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) can be improved primarily because we were looking for any other provider due to the ZTNA feature that we were scoping from Netskope."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"The price is reasonable."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"A free version of the solution is available."
"As long as your needs are fulfilled, even if the price is high, you will buy the tool."
"The pricing is moderate."
