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.

Automation has given us consistent analytics and improved quality of insights into user activity

One of the valuable features of Purview is the ability to create a legal hold on a user's account within the compliance portal. That's pretty useful when it comes to any litigation or if you want to redeem the content within a mailbox, OneDrive, or a generic public SharePoint site. If you want to retain the user's data until the case is resolved, you can use the legal hold feature. Also, it's important that Purview can connect to iOS, Mac, and Android devices. With smartphone involvement, so many applications can now be accessed through them and it is important to apply Purview across operating systems and platforms. Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure Dynamics and Office 365 is also significant because within Microsoft 365 there are multiple applications. Irrespective of whether it's Dynamics or Azure, it's very important that it has native support. The data connectivity should be efficient enough to support and secure their own platform's data. In addition, with varying regulations in different industries and matters, Purview lets you create rules and conditions based on industry standards around the world. That is important. Our company is in pharmaceuticals and the rules and conditions are different from other industries. It is important to be able to keep track of all these regulations and have a tool that is flexible enough to create the regulatory rules and conditions we need. And when it comes to data loss protection, Purview has features that can recognize patterns and detect any sort of data loss, where the data is being transferred from its platform to a different one. The default settings that come with it are pretty nice for identifying data transfer or data loss across the platform. It also comes with a lot of training materials, with use cases and examples, to help educate users and make them familiar with the tool.

Useful in the area of data security and is easy to deploy

The negative part of the product stems from the area revolving around certain browsers. The solution does not support Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox has multiple architectures while Trellix is a product that does not support multiple architectures. When it comes to the parts where improvements are required in the product, I feel that Trellix needs to verify data through the SSL inspection process. The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."

"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."

"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"

"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."

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

More Cloudflare pros

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."

"When you are going to use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, most of the setup is already done by default as per your needs."

"The product is easy to configure."

"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."

"The policy customization feature is very useful, and we have successfully used the auto policy configuration."

"If we can prevent information from going out, eventually, when a regulator is asking about our security measures, we can show what we've been doing."

"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."

"The solution's IDM (Indexed Document Matching), EDM (Exact Data Matching), and DCM (Described Content Matching) features have been most effective in identifying and mitigating potential data leaks."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention pros

"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."

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

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

"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."

"It is a very stable solution."

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

"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."

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

Cons

"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."

"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."

"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."

"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."

"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."

"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 documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."

"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."

More Cloudflare cons

"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."

"The tool's user interface and document fingerprinting have been very poor for my customers because uploading files manually can be problematic."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."

"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."

"Some main features are limited in comparison to other solutions."

"The support is poor."

"We faced a performance issue with the tool when we didn't get alerts for file uploads."

"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention cons

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

"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."

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

"The bugs need improvement."

"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

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

"A free version of the solution is available."

"We are using the free version."

"The price is reasonable."

"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."

"The cost works out to about $15 per user per month."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."

"We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."

"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."

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

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

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
