"Protect your web presence with Cloudflare DNS"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Cloudflare DNS is an easy service to use, but it is very powerful in keeping you safe online. If your hosting company has a partnership with Cloudflare DNS, even better. You can tailor Cloudflare DNS to your particular situation, because they have many levels of services available.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Sometimes, Cloudflare DNS doesn't automatically connect with your site, so you have to be able to read, and follow instructions carefully.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudflare keeps over 50 of my websites safe and protected from hackers and ddos attacks. The benefits I've realized are my sites load faster, and I have peace of mind concerning my sites.

"The best DNS servers out there"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

They are very simple to remember, they are encrypted and they are very fast, with very low latency on all parts of the world.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

I dont dislike anything of this amazing service

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

If you are constantly using DNS and making changes on your DNS records of your domain and you are struggling when you are waiting to dns to show up this speeds up the process, and is even faster if you have dns with cloudflare itself on your domain

"Cloudflare DNS mejor que muchos"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Se trata de unos nuevos servidores DNS. Pretenden ser la mejor alternativa a los DNS de Google y OpenDNS. En términos de rendimiento y seguridad. Pero es que también son mejores por su cuidado de la privacidad.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Usándolo no me ha disgustado muy poco ya que es lo que han prometido que sea, pero como todo tiene sus fallos.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Servidores DNS, totalmente gratuitos, ahorrando en costes de mis propios servidores DNS. El ahorro de una gran cantidad de dinero.

"CloudFlare Cloud Protection"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

I like many things with CloudFlare, the first being the great customer support received from the team. On a few occasions I needed to contact support and in all cases my questions were answered in great detail. Then I like the robustness of the solution and ability to protect our web presence.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

At this time, the only thing I dislike about CloudFlare is often times I find the console a bit difficult to work with when dealing with complex configurations and scouring through log files.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Security for our perimeter and web presence.

"In my opinion the best CDN"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

This is my opinion, after using it for over 10 websites for at least 2 years each. Never had a problem with the websites going down, never had a problem with the speed of the websites or being attacked by other websites. It is very simple to setup and with the basic feature being very good for small and hobby websites.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

I love everything about cloudflare, and use it with ease.It's a must for me at any website that I work

"Great CDN and added protection"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is a great CDN service with added protection, it is free for start-ups but if you upgrade you will definitely see tons of great features. All the added protection from DDos to firewall protection is great plus the server ip hidden.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

It may be hard to do design modifications on the website if you don't clear or disable the cache. It is frustrating sometimes

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Delivered content really fast to every user of the website, plus added protection and safety

"The best and free Anti DDoS platform on the web"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

It protects all our servers and websites about any ddos problems, as Layer7 and Layer4 DDoS attacks. The protection is constantly on and as soon as you get an attack it tries to stop it as fast as possible, if it is not possible you can increase the security and it will be required to make a captcha to access the service. It has an incredible network and nodes in every place of the world, that makes your servers faster accesibility accross the complete globe.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Right now i dont have any type of dislike of this service, all it has to offer it meets all the spectatives you need.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a website and some servers that people can access. Before we used this service our network had severe downtimes due to DDoS problems but when we implanted this service the downtimes went down and from that day to today we had 99,99%% of uptime in our services. It helps a lot, and if you have a little website you can protect it with their free plan.

What do you like best about Cloudflare?

CloudFlare makes it VERY simple and easy to use their Content Delivery Network which in turn speeds up your website and enhances content delivery!

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

There are some complications with integration that may just be beyond my personal understanding. I wish there were more free features and examples of how certain features would help my site.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to serve images from a CDN improving website speed and performance. Uptime guaranteed and delivered through SSL. The time and speed improvement make a better mobile delivery of the website as well.

"The best CDN for small-medium business"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Easy to setup, good value for the price, many features, all you need in other words. Obviously to feel the whole power of the service you need to be an Enterprise client, where you get lots of features that allowyou configuring CloudFlare right up to your needs. Except many features that come with Enterprise plan, you get their amazing customer success team that is always ready to help and really helpful.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

DNS management UI could be much better. Right now it's really simple and is more oriented on novice users than professionals.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Content delivery and caching. Content caching helps to reduce load on origin servers, thus reducing the number of servers needed for the platform to run.

"Go to choice for CDN"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Easy to setup on existing websites/webapps and provides many performance and security features. Easier to setup on multiple sites/apps than any other available options.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

The UI could do better at making suggestions to users about what features might be most relevant to their particular product, taking Cloudflare one step further in ease of use.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

CDN, SLL, DDS protection, offline pages. No other system offers the same power, features and flexibility that Cloudflare does for us.

"A Free Plan Offering Premium Features"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

The free plan on CloudFlare is simply unbelievable value. For the low cost of nothing, you gain a world class CDN system which offers enterprise level security that rivals many premium, high cost solutions. The variety of features is astonishing too, with free SSL certificates, caching services and advanced analytics included also with the free plan.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

It's hard to fault CloudFlare, but if I were to criticise something it would be that many of the caching features cause severe breakage to a site. For example, whenever I enable the Rocket Loader my WordPress sites are always broken in some form. However, beggars can't be choosers and these issues can simply be averted by not enabling this feature.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main reason we first started using CloudFlare within our business was to upgrade all of our sites to SSL effortlessly, in preparation for the new Google HTTPS stricter rules. CloudFlare served this function perfectly, saving us money on advanced SSL certificates as well as time on installing these certificates manually. Since then, we have explored the other features of CloudFlare and impressed has been an understatement. As stated earlier, the benefits of CloudFlare are simply astonishing for a free product.

"Cloudflare, The total security solution "
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

CloudFlare is a company that tries to give the best service to their customers without paying the attention for profit maximization. The reason for that is Cloudflare almost giving their complete solution for free subscribers. Even their pro plans are very cost effective. The most favorite feature of CloudFlare is "Always Online", this helps to reduce all downtimes of the website without spending money. The installation process of CloudFlare is so easy and very fast without any downtimes. Can easily block any IP address and also CloudFlare automatically detects and block bad IPs that can be a threat to the server. Their Content Delivery Network is also very helpful. Using Cloudflare with Wordpress site with their Wordpress plugin makes the sites make the integration more strong. They also offer a great analytic dashboard to analyze most of the data that we need to care. CloudFlare apps are very helpful. especially, their Google Analytics app.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

I am bit confused to use some features of CloudFlare. Better if they can offer good video tutorials to explain each and every feature. "Rocket Loader" Feature totally messed up some sites. Therefore I don't use that feature.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Of course, CloudFlare Does. Their DNS management makes the life easier. When we are dealing with clients, we can simply use Cloudflare DNS and manage client's domains efficiently.
