Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare

Cloudflare is an out of the box easy to plug in solution for a lot of problems companies faces. For instance it easily adds web protection to your websites and improve performance over web traffic and DNS. It is pretty easy to use for average users, but there are lots of cool configurations for advanced users. They offer an AMAZING free tier that enables smalls/startup companies to really take advantage and grow with them. If you need a security vendor for modern architecture you will probably find everything you need on Cloudflare on a engineering perspective.
I suggest trying out their ZTNA solution which is awesome and is something really interesting for modern companies with distributed workforces working remotely.
  • WAF
  • ZTNA
  • DNS
  • HTTPS Enforce
  • CDN
  • ZTNA
  • Terraform Integration
  • Saved money on multiple solutions such as VPN, Domains, certificates and WAF.
  • Reduce surface of attack on multiple company solution.
  • Improved webpages edge performance.
VPN gives access to your entire network and if your access key is compromised the attacker has a HUGE surface of attack. By leveraging Cloudflare ZTNA you can choose who has access to exactly which resource and keep all management remote and IAC on terraform. It also enables the company to ask for permission and insert a purpose for the specific access, which is pretty cool for production restrictions.
Easy to onboard. We had to basically create a documentation based on Cloudflare documentation and share with the team. One or another had issues and we had the IT team help our, but at the end of the day it was simple. For other "behind the scenes" solutions the implementation and onboard of the team was quick because Cloudflare have a easy to use interface and terms. You can experience the value in less than a month and the learning curve is not big.
Never used support.
