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.

Controls and limits data transfers to enhance security but network traffic visibility needs improvement
DeviceLock has been problematic and not very effective for us so far, maybe due to configuration issues. It was already in place when I joined and wasn't performing well. We need more control over data, which DeviceLock hasn't provided yet. I remember they moved to Acronis from another company. There were features related to network traffic visibility, which could improve the DLP significantly. Other solutions already offer this kind of network visibility for data loss prevention. They are limited compared to before. Some features were removed from the current version. Policy management with DeviceLock was not very user-friendly. The IT team had to access two servers to make changes. The way the platform and solution are presented requires time to understand and get familiar with.

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

"The overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."
"The technical support is good."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"New and innovative way to protect the client's data."
"The most useful feature is the control and limiting of users sending documentation. It works with classification. When you classify your data, DeviceLock identifies it and, depending on your policy, can notify you where the data is going and who's using it."
"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."
"I rate the product an eight out of ten."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."
"The solution involves implementing the confidentiality, utility, and availability principles."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
 

Cons

"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"We are a product integrator and reseller, and we would like to have a better partner relationship, similar to a channel sales relationship. Sometimes we are on our own or get diverted by Cloudflare because they have direct sales, which competes with us and makes it difficult to build a relationship with this company since we want to be an MSP or a managed service provider for the solution."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"Policy management with DeviceLock was not very user-friendly."
"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected. The agents often affect endpoint performance negatively and do not behave consistently across all machines."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."
"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."
"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
