Cloudflare

ISP provider have Cloudflare ip leased to protect their clients

The Cloudflare suite is a powerful solution but their Warp product is not baked. Basic customer support leaves a lot to be desired as you will have no access to a technical response unless you pay for premium support. The level one desk is useless.

Cloudflare Zero Trust is a great product and was fairly easy to setup for our use case. The biggest complaint I have about Cloudflare is the Warp product - the VPN client breaks all the time and I need to spend a non-trivial amount of my day debugging it when it breaks.

For a simple WordPress site, depending on where and how it is hosted, Cloudflare might be a bit overkill. You can say the same for someone who only has a domain or two they are looking to park, again, Cloudflare would be overkill in that area as well.

Cloudflare Simplifying AI. Helping Customers build fast, private, and scalable AI apps in the cloud.

Ease of use and easy implementation when you deploy users. Cloudflare also provides easy rule management to control both navigation and access.

For ecomerce or any kind of online business which is customer facing is well suited. I cannot think about any scenarios where will not work.

Good security solutions easy to use and setup for daily protection and user do love easy and simple way to use to improve over all security at all corners as before too much time got spend over to deal with false positives. Now it much easier and simplified view to clearly see what happened

It has so many features like high security, speed and caching, fast traffic resolution, easy integration that I think it's so great for our company.

Email, Web Security and Secure Network Access are the main areas where Cloudflare is well suited. The distributed technology that is behind the Cloudflare infrastructure allows it to be a disruptive product in the space.

It is easy to set up, and within 10 minutes it is up and running. You can add many domains in one dashboard. So no need for a separate Cloudflare account. I can access all my domain DNS, and customize/add it further. For example by adding the Google Webmaster DNS key or my email provider.

Cloudflare is well suited for addressing key issues in AI adoption at pace, highly scalable, and cost-efficient operations. Further in highly technology-competitive areas like IoT and secure communication protocols handling edge computing capability requirements. It is less appropriate for customers with a low digital presence and with no scalable architecture demand.

Content Delivery - I'd highly recommend Cloudflare for this particular use case. The cdn is superior to its competitors and has a great mesh of nodes scattered around the globe. While optimising a landing page for one of my previous employers, I was able to leverage Cloudflare CDNs to bring a 400% speed up for page load times.

Cloudflare scales from the smallest organizations (right down to personal domain use) to the largest (I believe IBM Cloud is white labeling their services). It is intuitive and evolves at a steady pace. I would say that their biggest drawback is that they provide so many different functions under one roof, but it is also designed to allow you to start small and expand as needs and time allows. I recommend looking into them to manage your domains and DNS records to start, and then expand from there.

Cloudflare is great robust set of service and is exceptionally well-suited for building proof of concepts (POCs) on the web. One key advantage is Cloudflare's global content delivery network (CDN) which ensure fast and reliable content delivery to users around the world.
The ease of setting up cloudflare services allows our developers to quickly deploy and test their POC without bogged down complex configuration.

I asked my current boss if he'd heard of Cloudflare on day one at my current role. We're now implementing Magic-WAN and Magic Firewall as a replacement to our MSP-managed Fortinet solution [keeping hardware in place, but massively upgrading our control plane with Cloudflare's easy, optimized interface].

Where is it well suited? Any place you need peace of mind as to security, assurances about performance, and where ease of use is appreciated [your CCIEs may not appreciate Cloudflare but your IT staff writ large will, as will users who get faster help].

I think every small and big projects (if it has not very specific requirements that cannot be met by Cloudflare) should just start using it from the get-go for the aforementioned reasons

1. CDN & DDOS Application level
2. Low TCO/flat-pricing for Serverless Web servers and backends
3. Limited V8 engine, limited integration pool with other DBMS
4. Tech-stack Roadmap is not warranted for long-term

Since implementing Cloudflare, we've observed a 40% improvement in site loading times and a 30% reduction in bandwidth usage.The feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive, noting faster access and improved reliability.

It allows only genuine users to access the website so that the resources of your website are saved, and the speed of your website is improved. Cloudflare protects your website from DOS and DDoS attacks. Even if the website goes slow, Cloudflare will serve the cached files until the site comes back to normal. It is worth using CloudFlare only if the site has enough traffic or to protect the site from hackers. Since Cloudflare acts as a middleman, if it goes down, even your website will drop down.

Cloudflare offers several security features, such as DDoS protection, SSL encryption, and malware scanning, which can help protect websites from various online threats. It uses a network of data centers around the world to cache and serve website content, which can reduce page load times and improve overall website performance.
There are concerned about the level of access that Cloudflare has to our website data, as well as the potential for data breaches or other privacy violations.

Protecting websites from big cyber-attacks and keeping web applications safe from online threats.
Speeding up websites with lots of pictures, videos, and scripts using their CDN solution.
Load balancing web traffic to prevent downtime using their load balancers

Cloudflare has a huge range of features. The CDN and DNS services are great, fast, easy-to-use, and reliable. The security features are broad and deep, and they work very well. However, it takes a bit of investment to understand your traffic and decide what tools and configurations will work for you. There are many features that would work well for a new project being built from scratch (Workers, Zero-trust security) but are harder to for already established sites to start using. Overall, Cloudflare's services are world-class.

Cloudflare is a comprehensive solution that can be used to cover a range of resources from content delivery to advanced protections against web attacks. It also has the great advantage of serving various sizes of companies, with a free plan up to enterprise.
