Compare Cloudflare with other popular tools in the same category.
Best part about this is, I can use it with ease. Documentation is readily available and it has a great user community.
There is nothing to dislike about this great product. It's just amazing.
We've been using cloudfare WAF for protecting our websites, and it has been working like a charm!
They really deliver all the feature as the parts of the official terraform provider, and it is absolutely great. Compared to the other CDNs we used, this is an absolutely killer feature, still. My fav thing about CF is that your changes are literally being deployed into the edge in seconds, it is still unbelievable.
Dashboard is getting busier and more laggy with years, unfortunately. I believe, classic design was the best, especially for analytics.
Our previous CDN had couple of issues: absolutely non-functioning WAF, no terraform providers, deployment of changes took hours (literally). All these topics were fully covered by CF.
I have been managing some sites cloud flare for a year now, the security and likeness of website is really amazing nonetheless other features like to host pages and free features and all this in very affordable price
They can improve documentation of using cloudflare or make the ui more better like the names of features should be in layman language
For me I host my bcacodewala website on cloudflare and the managing ssl and everything is really easy
It is easy to use, implement, and integrate.
The performance needs some improvements for better traffic handling.
We are solving problem of optimizing corporate internal streaming platform while streaming on org level.
Cloudflare DNS has transformed my internet browsing experience. Its lightning-fast speed, coupled with robust security features like DNS over HTTPS and threat protection, ensure both speed and safety. Setup was a breeze, even for non-techies, and the customizable filtering options are a bonus. The service's reliability and no-cost pricing make it a standout choice. Highly recommended!
It sometimes doesn't even allows legal websites to load.
Slow Internet Speeds: Traditional DNS services can sometimes result in slow website loading times due to latency and inefficiencies. Cloudflare DNS addresses this by leveraging its global network infrastructure, which is designed to deliver speedy responses to DNS queries. This translates into faster website loading times, quicker downloads, and smoother online experiences.
Fastest response time.unparalleled redundancy
Nothing to dislike about this as off my knowledge
I am new user of cloudflare dns
Bad Bots, if unchecked, can cause more harm, threat analysis at a good scale with cloudflare bot management helps in that aspect efficiently with good support, ease of use and pricing compared to it's competitors. So far our go-to Bot Management product for multiple clients.
Often, false positives can be there, and flagging the same for review is a task and a learning curve to understand the bot scores, so over time Cloudflare can work on that.
Once a site for organisation is online and working, gaining traffic, the bad bot network follows, which hinders the performance overall, cloudflate bot management helps in allowing the bots we want and blocking the bad bots. With help of this, the performance and client satisfaction greatly increases.
We use Cloudflare due to its good content caching servers as it helps us to increase the speed of our software for faster delivery by up to 14% Moreover we love how competitive price is and also has a great free tier.
A better user manual or video help guideline needs to be there for a better and more efficient setup, also the UX can be improved to help navigate content and functions more efficiently.
Cloudflare CDN helps us decrease the load time and increase the faster loading of pages by about 36%, which has helped us better deliver speed and geo-location-based caching. Moreover, very cost efficient than other providers.
CloudFlare DNS is simple to configure and use, and provides the same level of the reliability and security as their world-renowned caching services.
The Advanced Analytics may be useful for organizations that require a granular level of detail but may be too much data to understand for most users.
The biggest issue that CloudFlare DNS has fixed is the often inconsistent reliability of name servers provided by hosting and collocation facilities.
It was an easy and straightforward feature to get working. If you're using CloudFlare it's a few clicks and if you're not you should strongly consider using CloudFlare anyways.
That you cannot decide which pages to use Bot Management from what I can see on the console which is unfortunate as often only a few areas need it as it can be too aggressive or block desired automated features out.
Making it simple to get rid of unwanted bots which cause problems and complicate the life of anyone who values or operates a website or other online resource.
it's free to start with and more affordable than others
More user manual or tutorial videos are needed
It helps us better deliver and decrease the loading time by up to 23% and page loading becomes efficient
Cloudflare WAF is the industry leader and the best thing is they provide a number of services along with WAF like DDoS protection, Bot protection, etc. and their DDoS protection solution is best compared to other vendors, and licensing cost is also good, we can easily integrate Cloudflare WAF and other services if we are using Cloudflare hosting plus they provide a number of other services in one place so it is an easy to set-up
Cloudflare WAF is good but their WAF rules are not updated and update frequency is less plus their WAF is not a true next-gen firewall and false positive results are high and sometimes there are some performance and latency issues if we are using another hosting platform, but their DDoS is one of the best solutions
Cloudflare WAF provides a number of features and they are easy to set up, plus Cloudflare also provides a number of other services so it is very time-saving because we are able to find a number of security solutions in one place and their licensing cost is also good and set-up time is less if we are using Cloudflare hosting
cloud fair has been one of those software people are looking for a special the corporates which have been spammed by various boards and there is a theft of information from there site was theft promotions from the side the best part of the cloud fairy is to ensure that they would provide at most security through the clients information and the data set especially the SoC as a service which is the first time a kind of marketing strategy that they have using and apart from that they have been very vocal in providing both specific security again against this type of boat rates that we can see these days away common in nature
The cost usually is high when compared to other systems which are similar to that cloud flare however there are few configuration and adaptability issues especially when we are integrating the same cloud fair sock system to other CRM's and other tracking systems the other deliverability is bit slow that has to be improved and hopefully that would be improved in the next version
Usually any cooperation that has multiple employees working and multiple sites they do have to browse from multiple various websites knowingly and knowingly they will browse websites that are not relevant to the corporate or organization or the work however they would be doing that that might they might be sites that might be impacting the the information or the bots that drees cookies or in a form of cookies about would be used so in order to mitigate such type of risk cloudbot Cloudflare broad management has been one of the frontiers have with a robust technology to identify such type of about and give such type of information that would help in you know reducing and monitoring constantly the systems which are one orrible for such type of threats and attacks of our word This is very beneficial to the corporations which will dealing with retail industries like retail insurance banking and finance as there would be a more information about how this will be information. more information won't be shaved and the information that will be shaved would be a very prominent and we would be able to track what information has been shared by a bot and how the bot is tracking so in order to identify system of malicious
they are replacing the CAPTCHA with the new bot systems so the customer can no longer be frustrated with solving a rigid CAPTCHA. It gives you the confidence to carry out the business without worrying about the bots.
Sometimes it automatically allows some bots which may cause privacy problems for the user and interact in a seamless experience.
It solves the authentication problem by various methods like behavioral analysis, fingerprints and machine learning etc..
IF your DNS isn't good (Cloudflare's DNS is amazing, quick, easy, and works pretty well). DNS and DDoS protection is automatic and well organized protection that has no analogue
It would be great to implement a transition appliance for receiving logs from Cloudflare to use in on-premise log management and SIEM systems. Licensing is a bit complicated for customers and missing "OR" operand in Gateway policy configuration turns out to be a limitation
Cloudflare can save many resources of the organization, such as spending on hardware and staff training. Also, many things can be automated, such as providing and controlling the expiration of the SSL certificates.
Their enhanced data on the platform provides faster differentiation between bad and good bots, so people can actually avoid bad bots which can steal data
Their business pricing is quite high that could be cut down
To deploy bots on the different platforms for information gathering and posting it actually helps avoiding the bad malicious bots
Using Cloudflare Bot Management product to manage bots enables us to block some bots and allow others through, instead of simply blocking all non-human traffic. If all bots are blocked and Google bots aren't able to index a page, for instance, then that page can't show up in Google search results, resulting in greatly reduced organic traffic to the website.
It is very expensive and Cloudflare background on having conflict of interest on working with some of the non social groups.
To identify bots, bot managers may use JavaScript challenges (which determines whether or not a traditional web browser is being used) or CAPTCHA challenges. They may also determine which users are humans and which are bots by behavioral analysis – which means comparing a user's behavior to the standard behavior of users in the past. Bot managers must have a large collection of quality behavioral data to check against to do the latter.
I really like how you can make custom rules as well as the bot mitigation scores and anomaly detection. That helps our mitigation strategy and the DDoS protection is very helpful as well.
User interface could use some help. It's is a bit of a learning curve and fairly frustrating.
We're using this as our front door for all our external facing endpoints and websites. This provides DDoS protection and has been very helpful in mitigating and protecting against log4j attempts.
stability of the system and performance
we had an incident in 4 years, not a disaster but the incident communication can be improved
with cluodflare our performance and site stability was improved.
Cloudflare offers a good and simple solution to get engineer's work done
----------------------------------------
Location-based content delivery
Knowing the solutions of cloudflare in detail
Not a practical knowledge and success stories
Availability n security
helped us to integrate third party application to fit into our domain through reverse proxy
couldn't find any dislikes. easy to setup
DDOS protection. reverse proxy setup
I takes me a couple of minutes to set the websites and start propagating the dns
it takes much time to get the dns propagation and there are configuration conflicts with .mx websites so that I did not activated some cloudflare options
hosting services, it improves the website loading experience
The very best method to accomplish that is inclined to split time and allow people to be loaded from a different location that would be to the cache. The type of software service or you need to construct needs to be made to be scalable. Cloudflare is the remedy because it's simple to use, to do this, than doing any DNS changes, and you want some other installation or no knowledge. If it comes the opportunity to enhance the operation of any program, which lots of assets including scripts, CSS files, pictures, etc., you must consider the best way to decrease the strain on your hosting / VPS / webserver.
Caching is excellent, but if you do not clear the cache if you do not push these changes to the CDN and once you make some adjustments, you'll have many headaches. Clearing the Cloudflare cache did not use to perform the trick straight away, and you also needed to observe the changes revealed, but in solving this, they're becoming better.
You must cache, so people aren't loaded in precisely the same period as your website, but by a site, if you would like to decrease the strain on your hosting.
Providing free SSL certification for the site. One of the fastest DNS. Excellent protection against ddos attacks. Wonderful free version.
Quite expensive starting plan for small companies.
Solves problems with the protection of the website and ensures a stable DNS.
A few serious prevented DDoS attacks is kind of standard for their service,what should be admitted is for example the biggest advantage of Cloudflare definitely for us -the ability to point nameservers to their own as ideal solution to managing DNS at all,especially page rules seems to be very helpful,while moving out website's locations quite often.Also image optimization's system,which drastically reduce our file sizes is worth of attention as well,since improved overall speed a lot(both aspect's are really important at our niche,when it comes to elements of element's of behaviour our targeted group).
There is or was a small issue in their new billing system,related to lack of notifications of expiring subscription,what's makes us a few problems within 6 days,since support response is extremely slow,when it comes to low or medium ticket's.
Overall speed of website as well as DNS management improved.
I like that CloudFlare Spectrum is easy to set up.
I don't like that CloudFlare Spectrum has less customization than some of its competitors.
A client and owner of an ecommerce website did not have a secure site. We implemented CloudFlare Spectrum as a security system.
i like cloudflare, with cloudflare you can minimize your downtime, and with the cloudflare WAF Webapplication Firewall also the Risk of DDOS Attacks
Nothing, its really good. maybe the price, but you get some extra protection which costs.
Minimizing DDOS Attacks
The program provides a suite of products for optimizing website speed and security. Because of its secure and speed, it optimizes site loading much faster by acting as an intermediary between site servers and clients .
Occasionally the Reputation Threat module blocks malicious threats by identifying IP addresses and sometimes those IP aren’t always a threat. Maybe it’s due to not recognizing it.
Our website runs faster and at an optimal speed that allows our customers to navigate and purchase off of our website
That its so simple and easy to use. Good protection and fast support.
There wasn't wasn't really anything i disliked , maybe price could have been a bit cheaper.
Improved compliance & risk managemen
