Cloudflare vs. DDoS-GUARD

Cloudflare is well suited for: 1) High-traffic websites: Cloudflare's CDN reduces the latency and improving website speed by delivering content quickly to visitors from a geographically distributed network of servers close to them. 2) Websites prone to DDoS attacks: Cloudflare's IP Firewall, rate limiting, and other security features help prevent DDoS attacks and other malicious traffic from reaching the website. 3) E-commerce websites: Cloudflare's SSL/TLS encryption and web application firewall provide added security for online transactions, protecting sensitive data and ensuring customer trust. 4) Websites using WordPress: Cloudflare's WordPress-specific page caching solution helps improve website performance by reducing load times and increasing cache hit ratios. There are also scenarios where Cloudflare may be less appropriate, including: 1) Websites that need full control over their DNS and security configurations. With some features you get limited control in Cloudflare. 2) You may not get the exact level of customization or control.

• DNS is easily managed, the UI is easy to use and learn
• the firewall rules are easy to test and configure and are quick and effective
• The "we are under attack" feature has saved our sites from DDoS attempts with only one click
• Their Cache is easy to set and use and integrates easily with other systems

• Some features require a bit of hand holding to deploy correctly. While the documentation is good, it could provide more examples to cover additional use cases.
• Telephone support for enterprise customers is for emergencies only, but sometimes phone conversations are better for providing clarity.
• Enterprise lite customers can't purchase all options available to total enterprise customers. Still, many of those additional features cost additional, so upgrading to the full enterprise means an increase in base plus the additional feature (bot management is a great example). Enterprise lite customers should be able to add these services on as well but without an increase in base.
• It's difficult to add new services to enterprise plans. It would be ideal if customers could purchase/upgrade online and sign an order insertion digitally from the site instead of having to go through customer success.

Cloudflare features are an integral part of my website, as of now I can’t think about doing without it. It would require an unimaginable time and effort to find and implement alternatives for every feature, considered how large and diverse Cloudflare feature set is

Everything is extremely concise and all settings apply immediately and take effect globally. There is no reason to explicitly plan/think in terms of individual regions as one would have to traditional cloud offerings (AWS, OCI, Azure). All Cloudflare products integrate seamless as part of a single pipeline that executes from request to response.

Their Argo for the global network is the core feature we love.

Cloudflare is the best option for my business for my use cases aligns exactly with what Cloudflare provides. Fastly only offers 1 month of free trial while AWS Route 53 is heavily integrated with AWS cloud. I want the flexibility to launch my own VPS and have a CDN, DDoS protection for my websites. Cloudflare provides just that, all for free.
