Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare for client websites utilising their name server service and enhanced security features (Web Application firewall) and caching / Content Delivery network. Transferring DNS from other suppliers with a robust and easy-to-use auto-scan feature is effortless. This is especially useful when migrating from legacy providers who cannot provide a zone file export. We also like their enhanced security features and to an extent CDN and page caching.
  • Managed DNS
  • DNS record import
  • Redundant network
  • CDN and caching can be confusing to set up
  • To get the best from them you need to use their nameservers
  • At times support on their Business plan can be "here is an article" rather than asking a question. I would expect this on their free tier but not paid tiers.
  • Reduces stress
  • Reduces time required / cost
  • Good UX
We didn't need any onboarding support, it was easy to get started, and the system is a pleasure to use.
Some support queries were handled well, some were here is a help document, and please work it out yourself.

Great to manage DNS with an easy-to-use interface and useful features. The security features provide peace of mind, but the caching and CDN needs some work to take real advantage of what it offers.
