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.

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.

Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"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 overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."
"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."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"The in-line DLP feature is one of the most vital features"
"The most valuable features of Zscaler CASB are API integration and DLP."
"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 Zscaler Private Access are reliability, scalability, and availability."
"With SASE, we have a single platform that covers multiple task services with which we need to control access. All the features are equally valuable."
"It's one of the easier products on the market as far as set-ups and deployments. Even across their whole product suite, they've made it pretty simple."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"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."
"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."
"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"Integration involving API with other products could be more user-friendly."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"The bugs need improvement."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"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."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."
"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected."
"While Zscaler supports client-initiated connections, it does not support server-initiated connections. This is a feature that Zscaler may consider adding in the future."
"The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"Setup is a bit complex because there are many steps that need to be taken before onboarding and activating the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."
"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 solution's granularity should be improved because it has limited granular options to control, visible, allow, block, delay, and receive."
"Zscaler Private Access's reporting is poor. We should have more insight into the reports regarding what is blocked and allowed."
 

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."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"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."
"We are using the free version."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
"Zscaler SASE software is quite expensive compared to other solutions"
"Zscaler DLP solution is expensive, with a fixed pricing structure that is billed annually and monthly. There are no additional costs for licenses."
"It has been relatively reasonable for what it does. Some of the additional license costs based on the advanced next-generation firewall functions are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Overall, the cost seems reasonable."
"The cost is expensive. It depends on the number of users."
"The solution is expensive."
"Zscaler Private Access can be an expensive solution, depending on the license type you will purchase."
"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
