Cloudflare

Pros

The services offered in the free tier are very good. What can we ask more than what they offer already? It's simply very good that they even offer such a complete free version as they do.

Cons

Eventually having a "pay-per-use" plan that we can customize with different options and pay per use. I know business wise that's not easy but it would offer a great flexibility to whoever wants to pay for specific functionalities

Pros

I like that CloudFlare offers very quick and easy protection with its free nameservers and DNS capabilities. It is a great way of adding protection and additional features to your website or network by simply changing your nameservers and receiving free features such as SSL, a firewall, page rules and more. It has offered a great amount of protection even on its free plan and its feature continue to be useful to this very date throughout the 10+ years I have used them.

Cons

I am not fond of the constant changes to the older features, whilst the newer ones do take a bit of getting used to, it is a little cumbersome when you are trying to perform a simple change that you now have to do differently. The support can also be slightly hit-or-miss as they try to make you increase your plan to receive faster or better support.

Pros

It works very automaticly, you dont have to be an expert to use it. But if you need so you awlays can define yur own rules for firewall.

Cons

My TFB was lowered by 0.5s its prety much, specialy if you want to have hight rank in google speed tests.

Pros

Excellent SSL and cloud protection for free for domains, helped us fix a crucial SSL certificate error for our website

Cons

more paid services than we require, but they are optional

Pros

Cloudflare provides excellent security features like DDoS protection and SSL certificates at an affordable price. The CDN is also fantastic for improving load times and reducing server strain, especially for high-traffic websites.

Cons

The dashboard could be more user-friendly for beginners, and sometimes there are too many advanced settings that can be confusing. Additionally, the free plan is limited when it comes to some of the more advanced features.

Pros

Cloudflare is a bunch of different tools and services, always very easy to deploy and with good and in-depth documentation. The price is awesome for what it does. Many many tools are free with very generous caps. Couldn’t leave without once I got into it, it simply does too much and too well to be looking at alternatives.

Cons

My only complaint is really minor: there so many menus that it is easy to navigate, but sometimes I tend to get lost and the fact that they are re-organised often or new services are added, sometime it takes a while to remember where a certain switch or option was

Pros

I like the granularity of Cloudflare Web application firewall to add specific rules to block certain characters, payloads, event listeners, html tags, etc. I used it to create labs on web vulnerabilities topics.

Cons

Sometimes it took more than expected time for mapping the domain with WAF atleast for me.

Pros

Cloudflare is easy to setup and configure, has great user management and gives great analytical insight to what is happening in your environment.

Cons

Does require some good technical background around DNS configuration, if you are not comfortable with that then it may feel daunting. Also enterprise pricing isn't very transparent.

Pros

It is very to use and deploy my resources to the cloud.

Cons

Due to internet connection I may find hard to connect to my cloud

Pros

It's a great security tool for your website, easy to manage. I use it daily!

Cons

I don't have negative experiences with this tool

Pros

Cloudflare offers a powerful content delivery network and optimizations that really speed up your website and reduce the hosting costs. The firewall is another important feature to secure your website at a low cost.

Cons

The gap between free and paid plans is high.

Pros

With Cloudflare, we have been able to enhance privacy.
It adds an element of security and enhances performance while ensuring effective connectivity.

Cons

With Cloudflare, there hasn't been flaws. It delivers as a security solution.

Pros

I use it for my website and is free, I have a secure website SSL

Cons

I only have one email address and I have a lot of spam and a lot of bad emails coming from my same email address, not good

Pros

It has a friend UI that all my team can easily to work on. It has a great WAF, security level to protect our site against DDoS. Also, provide lots of rules for us to customize all things and fit with our websites like controlling how to cache and how request is handled.

Cons

It has its own DDoS technology that can detect attacks quickly without manual actions.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

I love that all the websites I host through cloudflare are delivered quickly and without interruption.

Cons

I absolutely hate having to pay for cloudflare services since I managed so many websites and the bill is big. however it's definitely worth the money.

Pros

I like that it offers pretty good services for FREE. And how much more with the premium plans? The setup is so easy and the onboarding process is fast and pretty simple.

Cons

Their customer support is not very fast in responding to clients, but I think they are working to fix this one now.

Pros

It has all features necessary to easily set up a Web Application Firewall. Custom rules can be implemented to tweak cybersecurity controls for your app specifically.

Cons

Cloudflare is pretty expensive and hard to get implemented for smaller companies.

Cons

There are no pros. They have no customer service number, no chat. I needed immediate help and the only number they have to call is sales which I called. The voice mail said if you are being attacked click 1. so I did that and guess what. If you are a client getting attacked, they don't care you go to voicemail. WORST EVERY. This company needs to be shut down!!

Pros

“It is very easy to integrate and manage our website with Cloudflare. Also, being able to transfer our domains to CF made the process even easier.”

Cons

I didn’t see any negative point. Except that not all packages are free, of course.

Pros

I used Cloudflare for the Domain name service and for analytics. The Domain name service was quite easy to use, I linked it to Squarespace which was easy enough - becuse there's a tutorial on it on both Cloudflare and Squarespace.

Cons

There was quite a lot on one page, I had to skim read everything and it took some time to get the hang of it.

Pros

Cloudflare apart is its robust security measures. With a wide range of security features, including DDoS protection, web application firewall, and SSL encryption, it acts as a formidable shield, warding off potential threats and keeping our systems safe from malicious attacks. The peace of mind that comes with knowing our network is fortified by such a reliable and capable tool is truly invaluable.

Cons

In all honesty, based on my experience, I haven't been able to find any drawbacks or cons when it comes to Cloudflare's services. It has consistently exceeded my expectations and delivered outstanding performance

Pros

Registration is fast and features are easy to use for even small websites

Cons

Support team takes long to respond to inquires and not in aproper way

Pros

The tool is easy to use as it does not require any technical knowledge to set and deploy on the website

Cons

No issue with the software, it works fine for me

Pros

software easy to setup, you only modify nameserves and you are ready to go and have your site secured

Cons

It makes website to load so slow on intermittent internet connections and when you are connected to a VPN

Pros

Definitely represents the best CDN service. It is the most used and the most reliable. I use it for all my websites. Many features are free and often it is not necessary to buy a paid plan.

Cons

I can not criticize the service offered by Cloudflare. I've never had any kind of problem.
