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.

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…

A VPN alternative that delivers a zero trust model
The pricing for Private Access seems to be on the expensive side, and I believe they should consider making it more competitive with other solutions. Specifically, they could improve pricing by offering customizable packages that cater to each customer's specific needs. Connectivity to voice-over IP (VoIP) solutions, both private and VoIP, is scheduled to be included in the upcoming week.

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."
"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."
"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."
"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."
"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."
"New and innovative way to protect the client's data."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"I find all Zscaler Private Access features valuable because each replaces flawed technologies, such as EPAs being replacements for VPN and PR as a replacement for PAM, so I can't mention only one valuable feature. Overall, Zscaler Private Access is a good solution."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler SASE include web filtering, application control, and the private access configuration."
"The product's most valuable features are cloud-based services and secure internet access. We don't have to set up any physical appliances."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365."
"The product provides a seamless user experience."
"This secure connection allows users to connect to the Zscaler VPN and access the resources on the office network, making it a highly valuable component of our system."
 

Cons

"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"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."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"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."
"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."
"Support response time could be improved."
"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"The product needs to improve support."
"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."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."
"We faced certain migration and implementation challenges in executing the tasks, so I would suggest improvement related to the stability of the solution."
"What could be improved in Zscaler Private Access is its notification. For example, if there's a speed issue, there should be a pop-up that alerts the user about it. If there is a network quality issue, for example, it isn't good enough to connect to, or the network quality is bad, there should be a notification from the solution. Zscaler Private Access also needs improvement in terms of its interface and security."
"The solution needs to improve a lot of aspects."
"Zscaler Private Access could improve by improving external access. If external parties want to access locally to my company's services, we need to onboard them into our domain, otherwise, it doesn't work. Additionally, if their company also has Zscaler Private Access, then it doesn't work. They need to log in with our domain ID, not their company ID."
"The pricing for Private Access seems to be on the expensive side, and I believe they should consider making it more competitive with other solutions."
"Having a Zscaler-specific device could streamline this process and provide a more consistent user experience across diverse branches."
"The interface needs a bit of work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A free version of the solution is available."
"The price is reasonable."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"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."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."
"The price is competitive."
"The pricing is quite high, especially when it comes to the gateway."
"It is an auto-renewal subscription service."
"The cost is expensive. It depends on the number of users."
"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"The licensing model for Zscaler Cloud DLP allows you to only buy what you need. You don't need to buy it as a whole, so it's good."
