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.

Versatile with good patching and a straightforward setup

There is some fine-tuning needed, even once you define something. We need to do a lot of configuration. It would be easier if they made the configuration simpler, especially in the beginning. They need to give the user more choices and provide more guidance to help avoid problems later on. We'd like some more built-in predictive analytics so we can be prepared for what might happen in the future. We did have some bandwidth issues during setup. If your update fails, you may have stability issues. We find it difficult to reach higher levels of support when we face larger issues.

Block USBs and manage ports effectively across multiple OS platforms

There is an important feature that needs to be added. In Linux, it is difficult to control uninstallation. Users can uninstall it at any time, and we can only monitor that it is uninstalled. If there is a feature that can notify in the master dashboard that an agent has been uninstalled, it would be very beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."

"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."

"It's very user-friendly."

"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."

"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"

"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."

"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."

"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."

More Cloudflare pros

"You can manage your compliance in line with legislation such as GDPR and POPIA."

"It can scale."

"The whitelisting works well."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to control access to USB drives and other external devices."

"Enables customization of file types and for different scenarios."

"What I like about McAfee Total Protection is that it's working. I also like that it doesn't require any specific knowledge to set up."

"The solution has good stability and endpoint."

"The overall features of McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention are very good."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention pros

"Compared to a lot of the USB management systems out there, Endpoint Protector is the only one that comes with true USB management and the DLP side of it. I'm pretty impressed because I've used several solutions with DLP and USB management, and I've never seen granularity like this solution has."

"The console is friendly and it supports Mac."

"It is fantastic in terms of the granularity of the policies. It has many built-in policies, and we can add or create more policies as well. It is perfect, and it gives us more options. We have some users who go outside and then come inside. With EPP, we can even control those users who are outside. If they need to access the media that we are using right now, we can provide OTP messages so that they can access the media even when they are outside of their organization. With our previous solution, we were facing some issues in doing this."

"Netwrix Endpoint Protector works on Linux and macOS to block USB ports, control internet access, and manage other peripheral ports."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution is the device control, which manages any portable device connected to the endpoint, and content-aware protection, which controls data in motion from the endpoint to outside, like when users try to upload data to a web browser or an instant messaging application."

"The interface is pretty user-friendly, neatly explained, and simple to use."

"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."

"We like that content-aware and device controls can easily be managed. They're not complicated. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand them."

Cons

"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."

"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."

"If they improve on the placement of their data centers, it would be better. I'm living in a remote area. I would like to connect to them without any kind of lag."

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

"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."

"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."

"Latencies are always a problem."

"The pricing could be improved."

More Cloudflare cons

"Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool."

"The solution needs an easier integration in heterogeneous and dynamic environments."

"There needs to be support for blocking the sending of files by email because even if you block or remove an external disk, the files are not protected."

"There are a lot of vulnerabilities and viruses and malware can proliferate."

"McAfee needs to clarify its rules."

"When this solution is used it requires a lot of administration because the users can have difficulties using it and require assistance. The administrators are continuously modifying the policies for the users. Technical support will be used frequently."

"The solution takes up too much CPU and memory."

"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention cons

"Endpoint Protector, in particular, had some features to be desired for the Mac operating system."

"I would like to see an alert feature that when a system is started, it checks to make sure that the client has the most up-to-date policies."

"It would be helpful if they offered discounted pricing for long-term contracts to serve customers who are interested in committing for periods of three years, five years, or longer."

"I would rate the role-based access features for administrators a six out of ten. There's work to be done on the granularity of roles that can be assigned to an administrator but there is role-based administrator access present. That's why it's not a zero rating."

"We are using it to only apply media restrictions. When we are installing a new agent, we have to install EPP manually on a device. It would be great if the installations can be done from the server instead of me going to each PC or device to implement EPP or using a policy. They should have some sort of system so that a domain admin can install EPP on all PCs from a central manager."

"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."

"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."

"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."

"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."

"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."

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

"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."

"I give the price a five out of ten."

"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"There is an annual license to use this solution."

"The price of the solution could improve."

"The pricing seems expensive both for the license and the support."

"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is expensive."

"If the client purchases the entire suite of McAfee Endpoint, the license is included."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention pricing and cost advice

"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."

"We found the pricing pretty attractive. However, volume-based pricing wasn't available."

"[The pricing] is reasonable compared to what's out there."

"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."

"The minimum number of licenses they sell is 50 or 150 users."

"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."

"The product has average pricing."

"For what it's doing, the cost is somewhat high for us, but it's the cost of doing business with the clients that we have."

Overview

Cloudflare is a highly-regarded Content Delivery Network (CDN) and a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) protection solution. The robust global connectivity cloud platform that is Cloudflare ensures users are able to connect to the Internet quickly, securely, and reliably. Cloudflare is one of the world's largest networks in the marketplace today. Using Cloudflare, businesses, educational entities, NGOs, vloggers, bloggers, and anyone else with an internet presence can experience more secure, faster websites and applications.

Currently, there are millions of Internet locations on Cloudflare, and the Cloudflare network
continues to grow every day by the thousands. The solution is able to fulfill the requests for
millions of websites seamlessly and serves on average 45 million HTTP requests per second.

Cloudflare has safe, secure data centers in close to 300 cities worldwide to ensure every
client request is filled as quickly as possible. It is Cloudflare’s edge network that makes this
possible by keeping content and other services as close to each client as possible, so the
information requests are always only seconds away.

Many organizations that work in democracy, civil society, human rights, or the arts are able to
access Cloudflare's highest levels of protection for free via Project Galileo. Additionally, official
election websites can be secured from hacking and fraud through Cloudflare’s Project
Athenian, also at no additional cost.

Cloudflare can also help organizations of all sizes develop a robust zero-trust strategy to
ensure the highest levels of productivity and profitability. Employees, stakeholders, and end users have a greater level of satisfaction and overall improved user experience, which can, in
turn, result in higher revenues and overall ROI. Zero-trust and BYOD (bring your own device)
access ensure end users and employees always have the best resources and technology
available to them at all times.

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
