A CDN solution to enhance loading times and streamline navigation

When one of the primary nodes spanning from North to South America, from the northern US to the southern US, became operational, it had a big impact. It can be challenging to explain its advantages to clients. The technical nature of the marketing material is too technical for stakeholders. Integrating the solution was straightforward, requiring no extra effort. Edgio Global CDN operates, resembling familiar cloud services but offering elevated functionality. Unlike platforms such as Google Cloud Platform or RIN geared towards development teams, Edgio emphasizes client-facing services that are integral to our operations. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"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."

"This solution is easy to understand and easy to configure."

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

More Cloudflare SASE & SSE Platform pros

"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."

"It's super easy to use and integrate with."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the Uplynk platform for streaming purposes."

"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."

Cons

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"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."

"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"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 software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

More Cloudflare SASE & SSE Platform cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."

"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."

"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."

"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 is not that expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"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."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"When I modeled it out, we are spending somewhere between $600 to $800 a month with Verizon EdgeCast."

"The product is cheaper compared to other solutions."

"Be careful about the options because to have all the features can be very expensive."

Overview

Cloudflare SASE & SSE is a comprehensive platform that integrates Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE) functionalities. As a SASE solution, it replaces traditional network security with a cloud-based model that combines networking and security services at the network edge, using a "Zero Trust" approach for continuous verification of access. The SSE component focuses on securing access to cloud applications, offering Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) functionalities for access control and security policy enforcement, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to safeguard sensitive information. Leveraging Cloudflare's extensive global network with over 320 locations, Cloudflare One delivers security and network services close to users, enhancing performance, reducing latency, and providing a consistent user experience.
