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.

Experience boosts operational efficiency while performance sees room for improvement

I don't have specific information on whether it was purchased on the AWS marketplace or somewhere else. I am working with Dynatrace Operator. I am also working with Algosec, Alluvio, CrowdStrike, Firemon, Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, and other solutions. I think it's a good tool, and I am satisfied with it. We have not stored cloud workloads with Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline yet; we are still on-premises. The technical support takes about one to two hours to respond, which is acceptable. I am satisfied with the scalability of the product. The interface is good.

Affordable and provides visibility into what the users are doing with the data

The file integrity monitoring feature is difficult to manage because some files are confidential while others are not. We use a different tool to classify the files as confidential and non-confidential. The sensitive data discovery and classification features are not of much help. It is a difficult process. The controlling features must be improved. The interface must be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."

"It is a fast and secure DNS."

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."

"Cloudflare has many features."

"The most valuable feature is its usability."

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

"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."

More Cloudflare pros

"The solution is straightforward to set up."

"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."

"It offers straightforward integration."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."

"It has high stability."

"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."

"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."

"The Pipeline's Comprehensive Insights into data flows have helped improve operational efficiency and security."

"The detection and alert features are valuable."

"The product’s strict policies are its best features."

Cons

"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."

"DNS Management."

"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."

"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."

"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

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

"One area of improvement is in the Access Rules. Hypothetically, if we wanted to block or challenge traffic outside of the United States, the only way to currently do that (as far as I know) is to enter every single country outside of the United States. That could be a labor intensive job. A solution could be to enable users to create a rule where traffic is only allowed within a certain country."

More Cloudflare cons

"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."

"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."

"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."

"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."

"The security should be improved."

"Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline needs to improve its performance. I face issues with performance because we use SPAN, and the SPAN traffic is not good."

"The graphical user interface could be improved."

"Its filtering feature needs improvement."

"The vendor must provide a cloud solution."

"The interface must be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We don't have any issues with the price."

"We are using the free version."

"We are using the free tier of the solution."

"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."

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

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."

"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"I would rate the solution as expensive, around an eight or nine out of ten. There are other competitive solutions available."

"The pricing is reasonable."
