Owner at Hga consulting

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.

Protects sensitive data across devices and helps address client compliance needs proactively

The reporting in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is a little easier than most Microsoft portals. I understand the licensing cost, especially if you're a Business Premium or in the SMB world, and a lot of clients run with a Business Premium. That comes with data loss prevention in a manual process, whereas E5 gives automation. Microsoft has said, 'Okay, here's your Microsoft 365 E5 compliance add-on that can go on the Business Premium.' So Business Premium users can get the data loss prevention features of E5, which is fantastic. That was the big point that they were missing, and I'm glad that they actually have an add-on now that makes it possible. So truly, I don't think there's a downside. Maybe more reporting, but that's it.

Information Security Manager at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has improved sensitive data detection while requiring better support for data-at-rest scanning and classification

Data in transit works quite well and operates in near real-time. However, data at rest scanning operates under separate licensing, and it would be beneficial to examine applications where the location of sensitive data is unknown. Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) could improve data-at-rest scanning capabilities. Regarding DLP-specific improvements, data-at-rest scanning could be enhanced in terms of the applications supported, as coverage is currently limited to a restricted set of enterprise applications. Expanding application coverage would be beneficial. Additionally, data-at-rest scans should be made easier and faster to execute. Most solutions lack Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) functionality, and this capability is not yet mature. A significant limitation is that Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) does not support out-of-the-box data classification. Third-party integrations must be relied upon instead, whereas having built-in data classification support would be advantageous.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support is good."

"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"

"What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering, so it's a valuable tool."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."

"The most valuable feature is its usability."

"The tool is user-friendly."

"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."

"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."

More Cloudflare pros

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention makes it way easier to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information within the organization."

"The solution's IDM (Indexed Document Matching), EDM (Exact Data Matching), and DCM (Described Content Matching) features have been most effective in identifying and mitigating potential data leaks."

"The product is easy to configure."

"If we can prevent information from going out, eventually, when a regulator is asking about our security measures, we can show what we've been doing."

"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."

"I like the sensitivity labels and data security posture management for AI."

"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."

"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention pros

"I find Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) easier and more appealing than Zscaler."

"Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides predefined templates, indexed data matching, EDM, and OCR capabilities, and the role functionality provides significant information, and considerable automation has been built on top of the platform using the available APIs."

"The Real-Time Analytics and Reporting capabilities of Netskope Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are good and up to the mark."

"The product is flexible."

"The product provides visibility to manage sensitive data and control access."

Cons

"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."

"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."

"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."

"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."

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

"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."

"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."

"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."

More Cloudflare cons

"I rate the overall solution 3 out of 10."

"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."

"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."

"Some main features are limited in comparison to other solutions."

"All the security operations are better defined in Forcepoint, while in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, you will have to use a specific workflow and then an application to release blocked emails."

"Perhaps with the advent of AI, it can be enhanced, especially with organizations that handle and process huge amounts of data."

"I would assess the stability and reliability of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention as being flaky at times, where eDiscovery sometimes takes forever or doesn't bring the results we expect."

"The amount of false positives and the hash issue we had have brought down the score for me."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention cons

"The product should be compatible with multiple file formats."

"I rate the pricing a seven out of ten. The pricing is moderate."

"I have not seen any benefits from this real-time analysis at this time."

"Technical support has been rated low. Numerous bugs have been discovered in terms of functionality, and the support team takes considerable time to resolve these issues."

"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

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

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

"The product's pricing is cheap."

"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."

"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."

"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."

"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."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"It is a part of our Microsoft licensing. We pay for a yearly renewal. Its price is reasonable for the size of the organization we are. It is fairly competitive, and you get what you pay for. We have an E5 license, and a part of understanding the E5 license is to see what all you get with it. If you really look at it from that standpoint, you get a lot of value. You have Defender and all its security features in there as well. Their licensing is fairly flexible. They have different programs. We've seen ones where you could pay for up to three to five years in advance. There is also a monthly pay-as-you-go type of deal, but we're doing a yearly renewal and fixing the budget."

"Though I am not a specialist, the tool is quite expensive."

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."

"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."

"The cost works out to about $15 per user per month."

"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
