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.

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.

Comprehensive security solution enhances data classification and protection

The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Data Loss Prevention is its comprehensive end-to-end solution in Cloud Delivery Security Services, which includes URL, data loss prevention, and advanced threat prevention as features that can be enabled just by clicking a checkbox. Compared to competitors, these are often additional add-ons, whereas Palo Alto Networks provides a complete solution. The artificial intelligence integration in the product also helps immensely by classifying data, identifying data, and monitoring user access and behavior, thus improving data security strategies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"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's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

More Cloudflare One pros

"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 offers straightforward integration."

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

"It has high stability."

"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."

"We use Gigamon for network visibility."

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

More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline pros

"Having this technology, which makes it easy to manage with administration done centrally, is super helpful."

"The setup is very easy as we just need to switch on and switch off."

"Another important feature is that the solution doesn't require any additional infrastructure to implement. It's a software license that is compatible with our existing hardware. We were able to install and configure the product seamlessly and effortlessly."

"It is a stable solution with good support."

"The security aspect in finance is crucial for controlling from a DLP perspective and ensuring protection."

"The primary feature is managing firewalls through Panorama, especially when handling multiple firewalls across different sites like headquarters and remote sites."

"The security aspect in finance is crucial for controlling from a DLP perspective and ensuring protection."

"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Data Loss Prevention is its comprehensive end-to-end solution in Cloud Delivery Security Services, which includes URL, data loss prevention, and advanced threat prevention as features that can be enabled just by clicking a checkbox."

Cons

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

More Cloudflare One cons

"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 security should be improved."

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

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

"Its filtering feature needs improvement."

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

"The graphical user interface could be improved."

More Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline cons

"Its scalability is not on par with the features of others."

"The configuration for Palo Alto Networks firewalls requires specifying many details, such as protocols and services."

"There are mostly performance issues."

"Pricing is expensive."

"You need to have an external solution to backup everything. For example, you need to have Syslog installed on your server as well so that you can back it up to another place."

"There is room for improvement in the documentation around the maintenance of the product, how the automatic updates work, and pushing out new policies."

"The product is still overly complicated compared to other vendors such as Check Point, which could be improved."

"The solution needs improvement in stability. There has been feedback regarding the accuracy of file categorization."
