It's easy to set up because you point the DNS to it, and it's working in under 15 minutes
Cloudflare is highly scalable. Cloudflare is a system with a web portal that the end users like me see. It's a console where we can adjust the DNS, caching, and security features all in that console. Cloudflare owns thousands of servers across the world that cache the data. It's a powerful solution. When clients sign up for Cloudflare, they're getting this monster content delivery network, security, and a web application firewall in one. It's all rolled into one, and it's massive. Unless you have your website hosted on a massive hosting provider, there's no way that you can deliver the amount of data that Cloudflare can provide to the end users. If you have static content, there's no way that you can ever match what Cloudflare can do. Obviously, there are competitors to Cloudflare that do the same, but I'm saying other types of solutions. Let's say you go with F5. Great, that's on-prem. That's in your colo. You can't deliver as much data to the internet as you can with a CDN. You don't have to spend $20,000 on a net scaler, F5, or whatever Cisco's selling now. You don't have to buy that. You pay them $50 a month or $150 a month. It's totally worth it because even in five years, you'll never get the performance value, not just the actual ROI. You have to consider how much throughput you can get with Cloudflare.

Offers complete detection and simple management and is a user-friendly solution
It's very effective as a solution to prevent mobile app threats. It has a mobile MDX, mobile detection, and response session. As a comprehensive solution, Check Point offers a very granular and best-in-class experience. Compared to competitors like Fortinet, Trend Micro, Palo Alto, and Cisco, Check Point provides a superior solution according to both the MITRE and Gartner frameworks. For example, in a recent attack simulation, Check Point only allowed ten malicious emails through, while Fortinet allowed 1500 and Cisco allowed 1800. Check Point's email attack ratio is nearly 0.10%, while others range from 1% to 3%. This demonstrates Check Point's superior email filtering capabilities. Check Point's email cleaning ratio is 99.9%, significantly higher than the 98%, 95%, or 93% of its competitors. Moreover, Check Point Harmony Email incorporates AI technology within its security features. Harmony Email & Collaboration (HEC) provides full protection and addresses zero-day files. It's the best solution available, as others don't offer protection against zero-day attacks and rely on signature-based solutions. HEC is truly the best option.

Implements confidentiality principles effectively
Over the years, a lot has changed, so it is not that much at the moment. I know they are all working on changing the look and feel, the UI. It is always good to have a more modern look and feel than the old-school square blocks. Other than that, it's mainly support. Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies. It's not always the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"It is fast and has a very simple, easy integration."
"Data loss and data leakage prevention are well deployed which helps businesses to scale and expand effortlessly without any trouble."
"The stuff that it's picking up and blocking and stopping from coming into our environment has been fantastic."
"Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten."
"The dashboard provides information to investigate more about malicious activity and blocked emails."
"The most valuable features would be its ability to intercept phishing emails and emails laden with malware, viruses, false links, etc."
"Its total protection has been the greatest aspect since it completely protects all the mail from the cloud."
"Check Point's technical support is very good."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"The solution involves implementing the confidentiality, utility, and availability principles."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do."
"I rate the product an eight out of ten."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
 

Cons

"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"Technical support is lacking."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"Cloudflare's free plan is limited to 5,000 records for their free plan. They should increase that. For example, if I create a domain called abc.com and a subdomain called a.abc.com, my record count will be two. I can make a maximum of 5,000 subdomains. However, if we use our own DNS hosted on another provider, there is no limit. Their free plan also lacks name server customization."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents."
"Harmony Email & Collaboration could be improved by making the whitelist available on the website and application level."
"I would love it if they would do some work on the Postgres definition on the back-end."
"We are unable to export the reports from the dashboard, and if it is possible to do then it is not intuitive."
"Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda."
"Some undefined threats can bypass the security system when there is a networking failure in the organization."
"After updates, the internet connection fails, and I have to restart my desktop to resume initial functionalities."
"Check Point should integrate with features available in Barracuda - like more advanced threat management."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"I would rate the solution seven out of ten based on my last experience within the last six months. It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."
"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."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"The price is very good, based on what they deliver."
"This is a very good product if you are on the cloud, but the price is a little more expensive."
"Do a full feature evaluation (interactive) with a support person. That is what I did."
"Due to its pricing, I would say that Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration is more suitable for medium to enterprise organizations."
"The product’s price is very high."
"The pricing is in the middle. Check Point's pricing is not the highest in the competitive market."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven and a half."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
