Helps to secure applications from public but needs improvement in documentation
We use the product to access applications that are restricted to employees only.  Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public.  Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation.  I have been…

Great session management, password management, and temporary access capabilities
We use CyberArk to secure the last resort accounts by introducing dual control approval, ticket validation, temporary access, and regular password rotation. It also allows us to introduce location-aware access controls with multiple sites having access to specific location-protected content…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."
"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."
"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
"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."
"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."
"The blocking feature is very good."
"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."
"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."
"Our privileged accounts are now stored in a more secure location and lateral movement within the network have been lessened."
"The password rotation and cyber gateway have been quite useful."
"It's secure and reliable. I especially appreciate that it's locked down and only allows access to authorized components."
"Password rotation, session recording & isolation and on-demand privileges."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"This is a complete solution that can detect cyber attacks well."
"Automates password management to remove the human chain weakness."
"CyberArk has the ability to change the credentials on every platform."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."
"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."
"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."
"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."
"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."
"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."
"Our DevOps team is looking in the direction of cloud, because we are not in it today. We are hoping to build it with Conjur from the ground up."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault can improve the distributive vault feature. Distributing the vault in multiple areas and multiple data centers should improve."
"I would like to see a simplification of the product."
"Sometimes the infrastructure team is hesitant to provide more resources."
"As they grow, the technical support is having growing pains. One of the things is just being able to get somebody on the phone sometimes."
"The initial setup could be simpler but it may not be as effective."
"The main challenge was integrating with in-house IT and business applications, which are not standard. We needed to create special updates for that kind of integration."
"New functionalities and discovered bugs take longer to patch. We would greatly appreciate quicker development of security patches and bug corrections."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"In comparison to other products on the market, CyberArk is a more costly product."
"Quite expensive"
"It can be an expensive product."

"The product's licensing is yearly. I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
