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.
Vikas Saxena - PeerSpot reviewer
Email scanning and keyword monitoring improve compliance with data policies
Trend Micro DLP allows me to scan and monitor emails for specific words, ensuring compliance with data loss prevention policies. The DLP system captures keywords from email headers and subjects, and if those words are present, the DLP system operates accordingly. I also use DLP for monitoring data at rest, data in transit, and external devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"New and innovative way to protect the client's data."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"The basic setup, like configuring servers or deploying the SaaS platform and agent implementation, is straightforward."
"We find the initial setup to be very easy."
"We are able to check the log and keep records."
"Everyone can use this tool."
"There are no issues with the interface."
"None of the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention features worked well, but the solution had a straightforward setup."
"We use Trend Micro mainly to monitor user activities, such as tracking the websites they visit and purchase items. Additionally, we focus on identifying and addressing antivirus threats. We used to explore a feature related to proxy but decided against it as an enterprise solution wasn't readily available for us. Our primary use of Trend Micro revolves around end-user security. Integration with Active Directory has proven beneficial, allowing us to easily push updates or changes directly from the console."
 

Cons

"We're facing challenges due to an upgrade in the machine learning model. The problem arises from some users abusing the APIs, resulting in an influx of suspicious traffic. Cloudflare's learning model mistakenly identifies this traffic as human. Consequently, it assigns it a higher trust score, akin to legitimate human traffic, causing complications in our architecture. Previously, such traffic would have been categorized as suspicious, enabling us to apply appropriate blocking rules. However, we encounter difficulties distinguishing between genuine and suspicious traffic with the new categorization. Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"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."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"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."
"The trouble with the tool is its ability to integrate with a third-party application."
"Being able to specify an agent list, or client list, to allow support from outside of the organization, would be of benefit to this solution."
"Having more features apart from what the product was designed for is what I'd like to see in its next release."
"Most of the functions don't work in the way that they are supposed to."
"The solution could use better logging in the future."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is buggy, which is one area for improvement. I also found Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention support horrible, so that's another area for improvement."
"Trend Micro could be priced better, currently, it's a bit high. And there needs to be better after the sale, technical support."
"Needs a remote login option."
"In Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, there is a need to improve the plug-in manager, as it is an area with shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"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."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"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 think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"As long as your needs are fulfilled, even if the price is high, you will buy the tool."
"The licensing and pricing of Trend Micro are comparatively low and competitive since they are offered in a bundle, especially compared to Symantec, which was has a relatively high price."
"The platform is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."
"The client needs to pay for the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention license on an annual basis."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap solution. I rate the solution's pricing a two on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The product is worth the money you pay for it. It is not an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is expensive compared to other solutions."
"It's not too expensive, especially when compared to SecureTech, and Forcepoint. It's actually cheaper. A license costs about INR 4,000 to INR 5,000, roughly $60 per license per year. In comparison, Forcepoint licenses are around $90 to $95."
