Provides ready-to-use policies with little configuration and easy integration

Integration is quite easy when migrating DNS to Cloudflare, as they manage DNS implementation. Once DNS is set up, traffic redirection to their platform is straightforward. However, it's important to manage your IP addresses carefully, possibly using additional tools or configurations to ensure they are properly protected and directed. Cloudflare leverages AI-driven solutions, with policies set using machine learning, which forms the foundation of their AI capabilities. They offer AI functionalities for developers looking to optimize or distribute their applications, such as Workers, a serverless solution enabling application deployment without the need for dedicated machines. This setup is also AI-enabled, enhancing its capabilities Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Offers flexibility with a kill switch for bypassing Reblaze if needed and provides a reliable Layer 7 defense against attacks

There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town. AWS WAF, the Web Application Firewall from AWS, has a vast database of bad IP addresses due to its long-standing presence in this business. Reblaze, being a new entrant, is still building its database of bad IP addresses and malicious systems. So, Reblaze needs to work on that aspect. But other than that, I don't think scaling Reblaze has been an issue. There were some initial glitches, but they were all sorted out. So currently, I would say that the bot management and the database are areas they should focus on for further improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution protects our application, which runs on the HTTP protocol, from DDoS attacks."

"It is configurable via API."

"The integration of Cloudflare with Cloud Suite is its most valuable feature."

"The product has a valuable security control functionality."

"It is a SaaS solution unlike much of the competition."

"It protects web applications efficiently."

"It's pretty convenient and pretty easy to set up and run. And then kind of for static content, it also offers caching."

"We extensively use the solution every day. The solution is very stable; we haven’t seen any glitches."

More Cloudflare Web Application Firewall pros

"We like the website protection. It's really good. The dashboard is really simple to use."

"The real-time monitoring and reporting are very good. There are information updates in their portal every two minutes. They also have the ability to spill it into Sumo Logic, for example. It's very easy to use."

"The feature I find most valuable is the user-friendly dashboard. It is easy to understand how everything works and it allows you to make decisions quickly and efficiently."

"Provides mobile app security."

"The most valuable features were the real-time monitoring and the management. With this kind of product, you need a very good management system to allow you to see false positives in real-time; to see what's happening in real-time... The clarity stood out. It was very visible and very easy to navigate; very easy to find the data we were looking for."

"The best thing about Reblaze, for us, is that it has been a game changer because previously, we were using Google's Web Application Firewall, but it wasn't up to the mark."

"The main feature is using the rules and being able to see the traffic. It helps us find malicious traffic."

"It is a highly resilient product that can handle significantly larger workloads and high volumes of traffic with ease."

Cons

"The accuracy of the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall could be improved by reducing the number of false-negative alerts."

"The blocked logs are difficult to read at times."

"The reporting could be more granular."

"A key challenge arises when dealing with numerous integrations with HVAC systems. Depending on the specifics, there might be some configuration mismatches, which necessitate specific support."

"The ModSecurity core rules need to be updated."

"The solution's learning curve can still be further reduced"

"It would be ideal if the solution offered better log integration and more integration with different platforms."

"I have experienced some difficulties with Cloudflare's support as a customer based in India."

More Cloudflare Web Application Firewall cons

"There is room for improvement in helping us understanding session management... We want Reblaze to catch and identify everything. We want to see the various devices doing one activity and to see, in a timeline, what's happened. We would like to see a more human-readable display to understand what's happening in the web app."

"It would be beneficial if it had a workflow or a feature that could fine-tune settings based on high-level requirements."

"The WAF features are not as granular as we would expect from a WAF system. There should be more granularity and in-depth rules, out-of-the-box."

"The next release should have next-generation automation."

"We have multiple products behind different instances of Reblaze. We have one instance for staging and then we have a production instance for multiple products. One of the things that we have requested is a unified view panel, so that we can see each of the instances in a unified view. That way, we won't have to go bouncing from instance to instance."

"I would like to have seen more automated reports. Maybe it has been improved in the last year and I'm just not aware of it. But from a managerial point of view, you want a summary report, a weekly report: How many attacks were blocked? How much bandwidth was saved due to the caching mechanism? What were the top-ten attacks that were tested on the network, etc? I could most likely have found all that data if I logged in to the system and ran different reports. It would be very helpful to get a management report on a weekly basis."

"Up to now the only cons I could find is sometimes getting change management back on track, because it's a company that evolves, and sometimes I don't have the same needs that they have. But besides that, up until now, I am really pleased with their service and I've also recommended them to some of my clients."

"Some of the settings on the dashboard are confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudflare offers different types of subscriptions for businesses, enterprises, and personal users, and the pricing is negotiable."

"The solution is expensive."

"It is not too pricey."

"The pricing model is very straightforward compared to the competition. You just pay per month for the product and usage."

"It starts at $20 and can easily go up to $200 monthly"

"Cloudflare Web Application Firewall is more affordable than other solutions."

"The solution's pricing option needs to be more transparent for enterprise clients."

"What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I believe the pricing is not the best, but it's reasonable and acceptable. We also use the McAfee system in parallel. In terms of pricing, its okay - not great, but not bad either. It falls in the middle, which is acceptable. In terms of support licensing, last time, we were searching for a solution, and we considered products from resellers rather than directly from the cloud provider. However, the pricing we encountered was exceptionally high. As a result, we are inclined to select support from the reseller."

More Cloudflare Web Application Firewall pricing and cost advice

"We found the cost to be a bit on the higher side, starting at approximately three to four thousand dollars for a small configuration."

"On a monthly basis we pay $750."

"I believe that for the six instances we have right now, it's costing us $16,000 per month."

"There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town."
