Cloudflare, from the company of the same name in San Francisco, provides DDoS and bot mitigation security for business domains, as well as a content delivery network (CDN) and web application firewall (WAF).
SonicWall Web Application Firewall implementation was relative easy to implement. I was use as site main firewall for a small group of users, it gives us a basic internet access and firewall functions.
I will recommend SonicWall depending of the size of the company and the knowledge of the personal is going to administer the firewall. I deploy those in small office settings where manageability was relative non existence.
Both products has their pro and cons. However in term of subscription and pricing for a small office, this offered better ROI as the office didn't want to spend too much and have something relative easy to manage.
SonicWall WAF is a complete security feature web application firewall being used by the entire organization. The great advantage of this solution is the application of layer seven of the OSI model to view, inspect, and block threats, unknown signatures, and deny access to this type of vulnerability in our network. This tool is positioned in our data center to filter all incoming and outgoing traffic.
SonicWall Web Application Firewall is appropriate to stay on the edge of our network and inspect all data that comes and goes in order to preserve the health of the network. In these scenarios, we are protected from DoS and DDoS attacks, malware threats, ransomware attacks, data theft, and others. Sonicwall's web application and threat management is intelligent and interrogates the behavior, communication logic, and, in addition, any changes and anomalies in the protocol.
Technical support is a little expensive but it works. Any technical problem or not, SonicWall support helps in solving the problems. The SLA is fast and the service is also cordial, functional, and straight to the point. Support is essential to keep the tool always up-to-date with lists of malware, URLs, attacks, and others.
