Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare

Cloudflare helps us mitigate DDoS attacks. Additionally, it gives us protection against malicious payloads, brute force attacks, and abusive bots. More recently with the custom firewalls rules, it can protect against small DDoS.
  • Big DDoS attacks
  • Web Application Firewall
  • Detect and block malicious payloads in requests
  • Better bot management - more granularity to stop/challenge bots with different filters, like in WAF
  • Reduced downtime while attacks are ongoing
  • Protection of assets
The onboarding process went very quickly. The first day caching data with Cloudflare brought us speed and safety.
We have not used the support service many times. I think 3 times a year. But when we need them, they solve our problems or doubts every time.

Do you think Cloudflare delivers good value for the price?

Did implementation of Cloudflare go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cloudflare again?

Yes

For Small DDoS protection, Cloudflare does not work very well. However, it does provide several tools to manually add this kind of protection. Cloudflare works very well for mitigating medium to big DDoS attacks, provides an excellent CDN, and has good options for web app firewalls.
