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.

Integrated controls have reduced insider risk and now protect sensitive data across our workforce

One standout feature about Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is the tight integration with Insider Risk Management and Defender XDR, as it gives much better context during investigations instead of treating DLP as an isolated alerting tool. We also use endpoint DLP heavily to control USB, copy, print, clipboard, and browser upload activity, which has been very effective for remote workforce security. The best features Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention offers include real-time policy enforcement, endpoint DLP, and deep integration with Microsoft 365 plus Defender XDR. We also heavily rely on sensitive information type detection, adaptive policy tips, and insider risk integration to investigate suspicious user behavior with proper context. Another standout feature is the ability to control USB copy, browser uploads, print clipboards, and cloud sharing actions directly from endpoint policies. The integration with Microsoft Defender 365 and Defender XDR helps our team in day-to-day operations because DLP alerts are automatically correlated with endpoint identity, email, and user activity telemetry, which helps the SOC investigate incidents much faster from a single workflow. The sensitive information type detection makes a difference compared to other tools we have used because it is more effective than many legacy DLP tools. It understands context, exact data patterns, document labeling, and Microsoft 365 native content, reducing false positives while improving detection accuracy. Another strong feature of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is auto-labeling and policy inheritance with Microsoft's Information Protection, which helps maintain protection even after files are shared or moved across workloads. We also value the user coaching or policy tip capability because it educates users in real time instead of only blocking actions, which reduces repeated DLP violations significantly.

Comprehensive data protection with photo prediction and compliance features

One area for improvement is the full feature support for Mac, which is currently in the roadmap but not yet available. The deployment process could be simplified as it is slightly complex due to the security solution requirement. The technical support needs enhancement, specifically customer service from Zecurion, which I would rate at eighty percent satisfaction.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable features as almost no effort was needed to learn the configurations. It is also one of the cheapest firewalls available in this category."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"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."

"Clover is the best product globally."

More Cloudflare One pros

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

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

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's ability to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information is valuable."

"The solution is very stable and extremely reliable."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention prevents users from sharing sensitive information outside the organization based on the configurations that we've implemented."

"For Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365, I would give it a 10 out of 10. It provides all the insights and information."

"It's secure and can be integrated with an existing Forcepoint DLP setup."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention protects the organization from user data getting out that should not be out and works very well when assessing the ability to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention pros

"The unique features of Zecurion DLP include photo prediction, which disables the ability to take pictures from a handset by activating the laptop camera for identification."

"I like the camera detection feature, which other DLP tools don't have. The content discovery is similar to other platforms like Symantec, using techniques like regular expressions. It's enough for my use case."

Cons

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

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

"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."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

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

"Feedback could be enhanced. While I work efficiently with Clover as a partner in Mexico City, sometimes the information and requests are easier to manage with more concrete solutions."

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

More Cloudflare One cons

"Improving Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention would involve recognizing that the whole AI path we are all on is going to help, given the massive amount of data we handle; even if there are true positives, implementing a degree of severity ranking is essential."

"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."

"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 platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."

"Technical support is awful."

"At this time, I have not seen a return on investment with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention."

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

"The tool's user interface and document fingerprinting have been very poor for my customers because uploading files manually can be problematic."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention cons

"One area for improvement is the lack of pre-built rules for compliance in Indonesia, so I have to define rules myself."

"The deployment process could be simplified as it is slightly complex due to the security solution requirement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The solution is not that expensive."

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

"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"You get the solution in a bundle if you get the E5 suite."

"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."

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

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

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