The solution mitigates DDoS attacks but provides poor technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
  • "Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

What is most valuable?

Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks.

What needs improvement?

Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks mostly by distributing the attacks through their network, which means many of their PoPs will hit your servers. When you have a huge DDoS attack, Cloudflare DDoS will stop the attack after some time. Until then, it will just register the DDoS attack through their network because they have a huge network, and then all those PoPs will hit your servers.

Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Cloudflare DDoS for five years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

More than 10,000 users are using Cloudflare DDoS in our company.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used F5.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution's pricing lacks transparency. You never know what you're paying for, and even their team sometimes cannot give you a correct answer on how they calculate something.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate Cloudflare DDoS a seven out of ten.

The solution is excellent. It helped us a lot with DDoS issues. I rate it a ten out of ten.
