Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare
Cloudflare has eliminated so many hits on our firewall since moving to their tunnels. We can access our servers remotely without exposing them to the outside world. This has saved us so many headaches knowing our data, network, and servers are safe behind our firewall. I highly recommend Cloudflare for small businesses.
- Cloudflare routes web traffic intelligently and dynamically across its network, avoiding congestion and outages. We have never had any issues with outages since moving to Cloudflare.
- Cloudflare isolates browser sessions from users' devices, preventing malware, phishing, and zero-day exploits. This is vital in today's world.
- Cloudflare secures our web traffic with SSL encryption, preventing hackers from intercepting or modifying any data in transit.
- Cloudflare offers various security features, such as SSL, DDoS protection, web application firewall (WAF), and browser isolation, but some of these are only available on the higher-tier plans. These may not be affordable to all users.
- Setting up some of the services is not always easy. I have an IT background, and I found myself reading through the steps and looking for outside help on some items.
- After the initial learning curve, Cloudflare has been great for us. It has reduced alerts on our firewall by 90%, easily. We have been able to shut off port forwarding, which eliminated a lot of our attack surface.
We were up and running in about a day with our first tunnel. After that, the next two were fairly simple. We did not have to work with Cloudflare with any onboarding at all.
