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

"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."

"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."

"The technical support is good."

"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."

"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."

"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."

"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"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."

More Cloudflare pros

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

"I rate the product an eight out of ten."

"It is a very stable solution."

"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."

"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."

More Trellix DLP pros

"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."

"Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps."

"The in-line DLP feature is one of the most vital features"

"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 most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are its ability to integrate with multiple IDPs and application segmentation."

"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."

"It is easy to use."

"The VPN is great for the stability on offer and for the cloud updates and insights you can get."

More Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform pros

Cons

"There are some issues with the CDN services."

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

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

"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."

"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."

"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."

"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."

More Cloudflare cons

"I would rate the solution seven out of ten based on my last experience within the last six months. It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability."

"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."

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."

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

"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."

"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."

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

More Trellix DLP cons

"The product is not reliable."

"Sometimes, support takes time since the solution has some bugs that need fixing."

"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."

"Zscaler Private Access needs to improve its collaboration with applications without compromising security."

"Occasionally, there are certain delays in report generation."

"To enhance their offering, it is advisable for them to focus on strengthening the foundation of their architecture. Additionally, they should consider integrating a broader range of services that go beyond what managed service providers typically offer independently."

"Zscaler Private Access's reporting is poor. We should have more insight into the reports regarding what is blocked and allowed."

"The menu for the ZIA portal could be organized a little bit differently. The most-used modules should be at the top of the menus, not somewhere near the bottom, some of them are not organized well in my opinion."

More Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"A free version of the solution is available."

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

"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."

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

"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 price of the solution is expensive."

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

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."

"The cost is expensive. It depends on the number of users."

"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"The solution is expensive."

"Pricing for Zscaler Private Access is moderate. It's acceptable, though I can't give you the exact price currently. It's not too expensive, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"The product is a bit expensive."

"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."

"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."

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
