Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as our main public DNS host. We have several public facing services, hundreds of domains, and they all are hosted here.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Fast
Secure
Trusted

Cons

Clarity in pricing
More control over the human check

Alternatives Considered

Oracle Dyn Managed DNS

They are leaps and bounds better for a myriad or reasons. Setting up is much easier, it works faster, and it has less problems all around.

Onboarding

It was quick and easy. Everything transferred seamlessly and we were moved over in basically one day.

Support Rating

They were easy to contact and very helpful. The only question we had to contact them was to check on the status of one domain's migration, which ended up being on the source we were migrating from.

Other Software Used

ConnectWise Automate, Microsoft Teams, Proxmox VE

It does a great job in the few aspects we are using it for currently. We feel safer having it handle our DNS records, and moving everything over was easy. Getting reports on traffic and malicious attempts at attacking our web presence is also really cool to see. I can't think of any reason to not use them considering how each product is separated out to suit your business needs, and the free tier is great if you only need some basics.
