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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.5
Cloudflare users experienced increased performance, security, and cost-effectiveness, leading to improved loyalty and revenue despite difficult ROI calculations.
Sentiment score
7.6
Trellix DLP offers enhanced security, significant cost savings, 20% ROI, and increased popularity due to its McAfee transition.
Sentiment score
7.1
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform enhances ROI and satisfaction by improving visibility, security, and cost-effectiveness over previous setups.
WordPress security can be tricky, and that's where Cloudflare can be absolutely helpful for small businesses.
For the small project I was working on, using the basic tier provided a huge improvement at zero cost.
In terms of return on investment with Cloudflare, it costs my time to set them up, but basically once they're set up, it's done.
The benefits our customers see from using Trellix DLP include cost reduction, given its competitive pricing in India.
We don't have to purchase many components such as load balancers and proxy servers that were necessary in traditional setups.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
Cloudflare's customer service is quick, but technical support feedback is mixed, with improvement needed in responsiveness and detailed assistance.
Sentiment score
6.6
Trellix DLP support is generally satisfactory but affected by rebranding issues, regional variations, and delays, especially during night hours.
Sentiment score
4.8
Zscaler's customer support is generally good but inconsistent, with varied user experiences and ratings from four to ten.
This would help us address issues promptly, especially during unforeseen events like DDoS attacks.
Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model.
I would rate the technical support with Cloudflare as excellent every time I've had to call them.
We received prompt technical support and remote sessions when necessary.
Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions.
The support from both the vendor and Trellix is excellent.
Sometimes, support takes time since the solution has some bugs that need fixing.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Users praise Cloudflare for seamless scalability, effective traffic management, easy upgrades, and robust global infrastructure without disruptions.
Sentiment score
7.8
Trellix DLP is scalable and adaptable, favored in cloud and on-premises setups for growing infrastructure needs.
Sentiment score
7.7
Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange Platform is highly scalable, integrating seamlessly with systems and accommodating varying user needs effortlessly.
It is a SaaS tool, but the fact that they have workloads deployed across the world proves that it is a highly scalable tool.
The tool offers very good performance, even during high-traffic periods.
I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.
Trellix DLP is very scalable, especially with the cloud version as everything is managed in the cloud.
It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability.
I would rate the scalability of Trellix DLP between eight to nine out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Cloudflare is highly rated for stability and uptime, with few past issues, especially on higher-tier plans.
Sentiment score
8.0
Trellix DLP is stable for Windows, less so for Mac, with high integration satisfaction despite performance needs.
Sentiment score
7.8
Users rate Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange highly for stability, citing minimal downtime and suggesting occasional improvements for certain areas.
For DDoS protection, I would not recommend Cloudflare.
I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.
The service is very stable with no impacts during high-traffic periods.
With the move to cloud provisioning, that is not a big problem anymore due to scalability on Trellix's side.
The agents are the main issue as they can behave inconsistently across different versions of operating systems.
Product stability is not a major concern; I would rate it 99% stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Enhancements needed in Cloudflare: analytics, CDN latency, API integration, user support, DNS, pricing, documentation, server coverage, WAF, and cache.
Trellix DLP requires better support, enhanced UI, compatibility, cloud integration, machine learning, and efficient policy application.
Zscaler needs enhancements in speed, multi-tenant capabilities, compatibility, DLP features, cost, stability, support, and connectivity monitoring.
There's a need for improvement in areas like AI-based DDoS attacks and Layer 7 WAF features.
Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor.
Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements.
Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies.
Improved compatibility with Mac OS is needed due to ineffective policy applications.
The product also faces challenges with high CPU and memory utilization, impacting endpoint performance.
They might be able to identify if something is missing with Zscaler.
 

Setup Cost

Cloudflare offers scalable pricing, from free to enterprise plans, providing significant value especially for mid-sized companies.
Trellix DLP pricing is user-dependent, device-based, and considered reasonable, but can be high due to currency conversion.
Zscaler's pricing varies, becoming more competitive with larger user bases, but additional features can increase overall costs.
That's where Cloudflare shines for smaller businesses – it's ten times cheaper than Akamai.
I find it to be cheap.
The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive.
It used to be in the middle, tending towards the high end, especially in South Africa, where we need to convert from dollars to rands, making things very expensive quickly.
The solution is currently affordable and not considered expensive.
The pricing for Trellix DLP is good, and it always wins when compared to other solutions.
 

Valuable Features

Cloudflare enhances performance and security with CDN caching, DDoS protection, and an easy-to-use dashboard, benefiting many users.
Trellix DLP offers advanced data protection with templates, centralized management, comprehensive security features, and compliance tools, enhancing system management.
Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange offers easy management, strong security, seamless connectivity, cloud deployment, threat protection, and AI-driven insights.
The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security.
Techniques like minification and image compression reduce the size of assets, leading to better performance and faster user load times.
The solution has been able to compare it to the market, and I think the product has taken great strides in automating quite a bit of things, and they use a lot of AI.
Trellix products are manageable through a centralized control center, meeting requirements from frameworks like PCI DSS.
Additionally, it supports integration with third-party solutions and agents, providing a versatile and user-friendly management experience.
These features are very useful for protecting company confidential data from being copied to another remote location or other sites.
The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing.

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.
GANESAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
Distributors highly benefit from advanced data monitoring and seamless integration features
The Machine Learning capability could be improved, particularly in data discovery. When given sensitive data expressions, the system retrieves files that are not always related. The system should adhere strictly to the given expression rather than just focusing on keywords within the expression. In endpoint features, while the detection rate is good, there could be improvements in remediation and rollback solutions during attacks. Other solutions now include such options since providing 100% security is impossible. The flexibility varies across environments. Enterprise customers find the product performs well without affecting their data, with scans running as scheduled. However, SMB customers experience some performance issues during scanning. Since EDR is integrated, users must access the EDR console to check endpoint detections. It would be beneficial if this functionality were incorporated within the EPO console, as the current threat graphs link doesn't display endpoint threat graphs.
Sumit Bhanwala - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.
