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.

Though it provides good endpoint security, there is a need to improve scalability
I don't have any idea about the implementation part because the tool was configured in my company's infrastructure. When I joined the organization, everything was configured. Currently, I am involved in the endpoint management and control. My company uses the product for the endpoints in our company so that it offers protection against viruses and other malicious activities. My company operates as a service provider, owing to which we deal with multiple clients and their data, which are stored in a PDF format. My company also provides applications to our clients. There are different types of data that my company protects from malicious activities and ransomware attacks. The most beneficial part of the product for our company's security needs stems from the fact that it offers an agentless service, which makes it better to manage our endpoint devices. I am not the right person to speak about how the full disc encryption capability of Trend Micro has impacted our data protection strategies since I am not the right person to provide any information about it. I am a system engineer who manages virtualization tools like VMware. There is a separate team for endpoint management in my organization. Speaking about the user experience and management console of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, I would say that the product offers a very unique GUI. The unique GUI of the tool makes it possible to easily use the management console for some tasks, like creating and downloading reports. There is a separate team with six to seven engineers in my company to manage the troubleshooting part of endpoint solutions. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is easy to use. The product is useful in the area of ePO reporting. It is very easy to create general reports with the product. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"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."
"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."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"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."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"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. You don't necessarily need a certificate if you have a connection between your website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host."
"Offers some good protection features."
"The tool focuses on endpoints rather than networks. Endpoints cover everything. It wouldn't be possible to steal confidential information from endpoints."
"The administrative capabilities and the interface make this product accessible and easy to use."
"The overall features of McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention are very good."
"The product is largely stable."
"The stability of the solution can be good. However, the configuration takes a long time for it to be done properly."
"Everything in this DLP is great. It"
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"The disk encryption is great."
"We use the solution for data encryption."
"Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
"Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level."
 

Cons

"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"Technical support is lacking."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"For the free and Pro plans, Cloudflare could use a simple bot to provide information to users. This would improve support, especially for less advanced users who utilize the free components."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The UI needs to be simplified."
"The solution takes up too much CPU and memory."
"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."
"Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool."
"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."
"There are a lot of vulnerabilities and viruses and malware can proliferate."
"The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function."
"To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We had to use an integrator for the implementation of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption. We have two people who work on this solution."
"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"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 cheap."
"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."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"I'm paying the license for McAfee Total Protection yearly. It could be cheaper, but it's fine."
"The pricing seems expensive both for the license and the support."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The price of McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is expensive. It is not the most expensive solution but it is typically 15 to 20 percent higher than other solutions. There is no additional cost to using McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention."
"It's not a cheap option."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive. We typically sell one and three-year licenses."
"If the client purchases the entire suite of McAfee Endpoint, the license is included."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
