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.

Versatile with good patching and a straightforward setup
There is some fine-tuning needed, even once you define something. We need to do a lot of configuration. It would be easier if they made the configuration simpler, especially in the beginning. They need to give the user more choices and provide more guidance to help avoid problems later on. We'd like some more built-in predictive analytics so we can be prepared for what might happen in the future. We did have some bandwidth issues during setup. If your update fails, you may have stability issues. We find it difficult to reach higher levels of support when we face larger issues.
John Zupancic - PeerSpot reviewer
Inexpensive, with good email security, but the technical support could be improved
We don't have as many problems with email security. They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent. The web interface works well but the Outlook plug-in has been problematic. We've had to uninstall/reinstall it. On some Outlook clients (including mine), it causes Outlook to stop responding. I disabled the Outlook plug-in and only use the web interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"The administrative capabilities and the interface make this product accessible and easy to use."
"The product provides us with an excellent, dependable solution to recommend to clients for their security needs."
"The interface showcases threat incidents very well."
"The ability to block all USBs from the McAfee portal has been great."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution has a rich set of policies."
"The whitelisting works well."
"The overall features of McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention are very good."
"They do a better job of determining what's real and what's not than most of the other solutions we have tried, and it's been very painless to use."
 

Cons

"Support response time could be improved."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"We faced many issues with the solution's customer support, and it should be made customer-friendly and more responsive."
"When this solution is used it requires a lot of administration because the users can have difficulties using it and require assistance. The administrators are continuously modifying the policies for the users. Technical support will be used frequently."
"It could improve how it deals with solar data."
"The support from McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is good. However, if they provided 24 hours a day seven days a week support that would be a helpful addition."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by making the customer aware of the benefits of the solution which would increase the adoption. Additionally, if there were features to suit multi-cloud environments it would be helpful. If the solution can intelligently identify which is important data for the organization and should not be released from the organization without authorization would be a benefit."
"Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool."
"Integration with other vendors could be improved. For example, with Chrome or Firefox."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by having artificial intelligence."
"They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 don't have any issues with the price."
"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."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is expensive."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution."
"The pricing seems expensive both for the license and the support."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive. We typically sell one and three-year licenses."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The price is high for this type of product."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"In terms of pricing, I believe they provide excellent value."
