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.

Provides excellent endpoint security in a feature-rich, lightweight, handy, and easy-to-deploy tool
The deployment is straightforward once you understand the solution's architecture. A proper understanding of the different components of Forcepoint DLP is essential, as deploying an enterprise-level DLP could be confusing because the policy server is separate from the main engine sitting on the Triton server. Understanding the components of the enterprise DLP suite is the most critical element for a successful deployment. Still, I rate the solution seven out of ten in terms of ease of setup. The scale of the particular DLP deployment is also a factor; we had cases where the customer only required endpoint or network DLP, a relatively quick job that two staff can complete. A complete DLP suite, including email, web, and network DLP, plus data classification and labelling, would require four associates. Our most recent deployment was a complete enterprise DLP, which required four staff. The entire deployment took almost three months, including a one-month planning phase. During the planning phase, we prepared the documentation, designed the HLDs and LLDs, and high and low-level diagrams. Following acceptance from the customer, we started the implementation, which took roughly 50 to 60 days. The level of maintenance required depends on how many events per hour a particular tool is putting out. If a customer wants to check analytics or identify an email or data leak, that situation doesn't require much policy fine-tuning, and a single staff member could deal with it. The customer can also decide what coverage they want, which may be 24/7, an admin to monitor events only, or Monday-to-Friday support. The coverage determines how many engineers will be required. Another factor in maintenance requirements is the volume of events, as an extensive client could have more than 10,000 servers with many sensitive data in motion. The customer had 24,000 users for our last deployment, and there wasn't a dedicated team for the DLP. The engineering team took care of the network, endpoint, and data security together. There were ten of us on the team, with two engineers per shift for 24/7 coverage.

Comes with data leak protection features but technical support is too slow
We use the solution for endpoints.  The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection.  Safetica ONE's technical support is too slow.  I have been using the product for six months.  I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I rate Safetica ONE's scalability a five out of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When using services like Heroku, Cloudflare is very useful for CNAME flattening. I also use it for their end-to-end SSL with TLS authentication on nginx for securing servers."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"Cloudflare DNS is widely used, and it's good for websites. If we use Cloudflare DNS and update one record, it updates in their office instantly."
"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"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 most valuable feature is the endpoint DLP. It's specific to copying to the USB or copying to the internal storage in our office."
"The integration is great."
"One of the most valuable features is the set of built-in policies that Forcepoint has for PCI compliance. We just need to activate them and start working. Without them, it would be a big task to do a data transformation."
"We like the ability to customize our requirements and rules, as well as its ease of use and management. It also has a cloud feature and proxy functionality."
"The tool is fine for the DLP features, especially when you are on an on-premises model with a data center."
"The scalability is fantastic. One of the things that I like about Forcepoint is that I can customize the solution to suit my objectives."
"The GUI is very intuitive. That is the way I would explain its ease of use. It is straightforward."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
 

Cons

"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."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"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."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"Support response time could be improved."
"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."
"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."
"I'd like the data classification to be better."
"Everything can be improved and maybe there is a way to improve the user experience through the interface."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can improve by having an uninstall option for the client or restart of a client agent can be controlled from the server. This feature is missing which is available with other solutions."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"The policy update size and agent size could be improved. We would also like to have a proper solution for Linux OS which Forcepoint does not offer."
"This solution has a tendency to provide false-positive results."
"You have to monitor the solution all the time."
"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"The product needs to improve support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"A free version of the solution is available."
"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 product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"We are using the free version."
"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."
"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."
"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is fine."
"Its pricing is quite low considering the features they are offering. As compared to other solutions, it is reasonable. They do have professional support. If we need professional support, then there will be additional costs."
"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."
"The pricing and licensing are okay."
"From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight."
"I can't comment on the cost, as a different department handles that."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
