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.

Stable product, key part of cybersecurity strategy but country-specific configuration issues requiring manual work

The onboarding process wasn't inherently complex, but it did take some time to open ports and configure the server. We're using three components of DLP: Endpoint DLP, email DLP, and web DLP. Web DLP isn't fully configured yet because we don't have a proxy. Email DLP took some additional coordination with a third party, and our Office 365 API, but those challenges were resolved. We have it installed and deployed on-premises. We have a partner who maintains it. It covers around 3,000 endpoints. It's deployed across our branches, factories, warehouses, and head office. It covers all endpoints in those locations. The deployment took some time due to our different locations.

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 web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."

"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"The simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."

"The most valuable feature is its usability."

"Cloudflare has many features."

"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"

"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."

More Cloudflare pros

"It primarily influences policy enforcement, cloud application access control, and endpoint network coverage."

"We chose Forcepoint as part of our cybersecurity strategy, and one of the key expectations was to prevent data leakage."

"Forcepoint Risk Adaptive Protection for DLP is purely a DLP-based solution, which makes it the best option available."

"Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions."

"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."

"It is a very stable solution."

"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."

"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."

"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."

"The solution involves implementing the confidentiality, utility, and availability principles."

"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do."

Cons

"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."

"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."

"Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."

"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."

"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."

"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."

"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."

"We're facing challenges due to an upgrade in the machine learning model. The problem arises from some users abusing the APIs, resulting in an influx of suspicious traffic. Cloudflare's learning model mistakenly identifies this traffic as human. Consequently, it assigns it a higher trust score, akin to legitimate human traffic, causing complications in our architecture. Previously, such traffic would have been categorized as suspicious, enabling us to apply appropriate blocking rules. However, we encounter difficulties distinguishing between genuine and suspicious traffic with the new categorization. Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor."

More Cloudflare cons

"The SaaS solution needs improvement, especially the malware-centric part, although the CASB is better but mostly data-centric. The after-sale support could also be improved."

"The deployment is a little bit difficult. It requires two to three separate servers for databases and the application."

"From an end user's perspective, it's not always clear what's happening with the DLP. It would be beneficial to have more use cases available, perhaps on a countrywide basis."

"The bugs need improvement."

"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."

"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."

"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."

"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."

"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."

"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A free version of the solution is available."

"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."

"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."

"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"We are using the free tier of the solution."

"The product's pricing is cheap."

"We are using the free version."

"The price is reasonable."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"The licensing cost is roughly 90 US dollars per year, per license."

"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."

Reviews from real users

“Many websites require an SSL certificate because they sell stuff and want SSL. Cloudflare
comes with an SSL certificate built in. It's automatic. You sign yourself up for Cloudflare, and
an SSL certificate automatically protects your website. If you have a connection between your
website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host, you don't necessarily need a
certificate.” Spencer M., Owner at Tech Exchange

“What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage
applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare
also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering,
so it's a valuable tool.” Daniel P., Network Engineer at Ufinet

“The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very
well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service.” PeerSpot user, Competence Center Manager at a tech services company
