Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare

We use multiple Cloudflare products including DNS, WAF, Advanced Analytics, and more. My primary need is for the WAF to maintain security as well as PageShield for our security and PCI compliance. Cloudflare's WAF provides great managed rulesets which cover most attack vectors, but also has auto-rule creating whenever it detects suspicious activity.

Pros

  • Web Application Firewall
  • PageShield
  • Advanced analytics

Cons

  • Add .ca domain support to Cloudflare registrar
  • Interface has a lot of tabs, and menu items. It can be difficult to locate things if you are not already familiar with the console.
  • We are finding that our Cloudflare costs keep rising posing some budgetary challenges.
  • Reduced time to respond to alerts through automatic rule creation.
Cloudflare's product offering is more mature and has demonstrated success in preventing some of the largest DDoS attacks observed. Cloudflare also continues to reinvest in their core product offering to ensure they maintain a position as leader in the cybersecurity space.
I was not present for the onboarding. From what I've been told it was relatively easy to deploy and configure. Modifications are simple to administer.
I haven't had to utilize them much lately but past dealings have all been positive.

Do you think Cloudflare delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Cloudflare's feature set?

Yes

Did Cloudflare live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Cloudflare go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cloudflare again?

Yes

I would strongly recommend Cloudflare to my peers if they have public facing applications or API's as Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall is one of the best. For peers who have PCI DSS obligations, PageShield has helped us to maintain compliance for our public facing websites. Overall, it is a great product for security.
