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.

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.

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."
"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."
"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."
"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."
"It is a stable solution."
"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."
"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention prevents users from sharing sensitive information outside the organization based on the configurations that we've implemented."
"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."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"The product has improved compliance and confidence. We are aware of the data that is leaving our organization. It provides confidence in data management and information storage."
"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."
"I like the sensitivity labels and data security posture management for AI."
"The feature I appreciate most about Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is the native synchronization between the tool and all the Office applications that the customer already has."
"One of the valuable features of Purview is the ability to create a legal hold on a user's account within the compliance portal. That's pretty useful when it comes to any litigation or if you want to redeem the content within a mailbox, OneDrive, or a generic public SharePoint site."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."
"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."
"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."
"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."
"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."
"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."
"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."
"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels."
"I rate the overall solution 3 out of 10."
"Because it's an academic institution, we got really excited about the level of granularity we could implement, but that granularity overwhelmed our users."
"Technical support is awful."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"Perhaps with the advent of AI, it can be enhanced, especially with organizations that handle and process huge amounts of data."
"More training for end users on how it works would be beneficial."
"It could cover more solutions and technologies."
"The deployment process could be simplified as it is slightly complex due to the security solution requirement."
"One area for improvement is the lack of pre-built rules for compliance in Indonesia, so I have to define rules myself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are slightly expensive."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"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."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The cost works out to about $15 per user per month."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
"You get the solution in a bundle if you get the E5 suite."
"Zecurion DLP is cheaper than competitors like Symantec."
