Cloudflare is much easier to configure compared to these services.

I've not really used anything like Cloudflare before utilizing Cloudflare.

More flexible.

Low investment, easy setup, great product, and solid security features.

AWS Cloudfront is so poon in UI, features. Almost you cannot compare them because the scale is too large.

Better than other software in the same field as per price time to implement easy to learn and use, good simple easy to understand user interface and very few false positives plus our compliance with cyber insurance is right on the money we no longer have to jump extra hopes to be in the green

It's much cheaper even has free version, easy to use and integrate with our current system, it has so many features in the dashboard that I need.

Zscaler Private Access and Cloudflare Access are very similar product sets that trade blows when it comes to features and capabilities. In my experience Cloudflare unified dashboard and distributed infrastructure has the upper hand when compared to ZScaler.

As a Home Lab enthusiast, the acessability of Cloudflare access (free tier) is a massive win when looking to evaluate a solution .

Firebase can be a good starter for basic projects but as I scaled up, I found it lacking the maturity Cloudflare has. Naturaly, I opted for Cloudflare for bigger projects. I still use Firebase, but for small scale hobby projects only.

Cloudflare has lower starting cost for backend Workers and good pricing model with steps.
Auto-scaling by default better than microservice/docker or EC2.
Security makes simpler.
Faster time to market.

R2 is just a cheaper and faster version of S3. Same developer API.

Cloudflare CDN is easier to setup compared to Google Cloud CDN.

Cloudflare is less expensive and has more features than Akamai. It has many more points of presence and is faster and more robust than Limelight/Edgio. It was the clear winner when we selected them six years ago, and maintains its leadership in this space.

Cloudflare has more anti-threat features and is very easy to manage. AWS WAF is more complex to manage and does not contribute much against new threats. Furthermore, AWS WAF is not flexible when it comes to rules.

Was not part of the evaluation team

Its more of having a protection from various threats under the same umbrella

Cloudflare has TCO is more reasonable. The pricing is quite competitive

It was a very lengthy process evaluating the differences and abilities of each of the products that were on our final review list, having to look at exactly what our requirements are from a security side as well as from a business perspective, and we found that the offerings from Cloudflare met most of these requirements and even provided functionality not available from the other offerings.

I just tried using their basic DNS, but it was surprisingly flaky. Sometimes pages just wouldn't load due to timeouts. Once I moved my name servers over that problem went away. Google Domains and GoDaddy just don't offer all the other things you would want to do with your site after DNS is set up. Cloudflare has so many tools to help your site load fast and secure. With very competitive prices on top of that.
