The cost usually is high when compared to other systems which are similar to that cloud flare however there are few configuration and adaptability issues especially when we are integrating the same cloud fair sock system to other CRM's and other tracking systems the other deliverability is bit slow that has to be improved and hopefully that would be improved in the next version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy implementation & effective"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

it is very fast and responsive, the best part is Before completely banning the traffic source, it is possible to rapidly test out a prospective rule to see how it affects Log or Challenge traffic as well as its Challenge success rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

It can be difficult to mark for evaluation when false positives are found; it may take a little time to become familiar with the many levels of bot scores. Before we could use the score effectively in our rules, it required some time. The dashboard only allowed us to observe a very limited number of things. Before it was implemented on the view, even the Bot score needed some time. It would be wonderful if the challenges and device signature were made more widely known.

When it detects false positives, flagging for review becomes hard. It takes a while to understand the different levels of bot scores. With the visibility of logs - there are only a few little things on the dashboard that we could see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"a great tool to block unwanted bots"

4/5

What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Cloudflare bot management provides users with a great tool to block unwanted bots which can cause great harm to any organization or company by stealing confidential information which can lead to credit card thefts and account thefts and also prevent DDos (Denial of service, in which a genuine user is unable to access service as resources are boing exhausted by bots). the best thing about Cloudflare is its extensive database which makes it a machine learning powerhouse. this would possibly give us a much-needed captcha-free internet someday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

the only downside of Cloudflare bot management is the implementation, it is too technical which makes it difficult to implement by a beginner because of this the price of implementation increases significantly and therefore many small companies and startups are not able to afford the services. Also, their customer support needs some serious improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

it is a really good tool once you are all set as it uses the extensive database from cloudflare for its algorithms and its implementation helps you eliminate captcha which is a convenience to end-users. The initial setup is a little too technical and complicated and requires a person/team of experts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cloudflare Application Security and Performance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudflare is solving multiple problems such as DDoS attacks, information theft, content scraping, credit card thefts and other related problems. these days as the internet grows cyber crimes are also increasing at a very fast rate, most of which have a root cause of information leak from some website or organization with the help of bots. Cloudflare is used to block such 'bad' bots and allows good ones to pass through which helps in SEO and other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great free SSL and CDN"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I use it for speed up website load time and it's doing a great job. It is stable and I love the fact that this is free! I also use the SSL certificate that enables for a year and it renews itself automatically. I use it for all websites I manage. Strongly suggest it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Since this is a shared IP address, sometimes if you look up the IPs you'll see it's a high risk. That's why I am thinking about getting unique IP for each website or for all the websites I am managing. Another problem is caching, sometimes a website does not load correctly unless I press "purge everything" button in the Cladflare dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fully featured and easy to use"

5/5

What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Very easy to get started using, the DDoS protections they offer make me feel more secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

When adding a new site and trying to set up HTTPS using Certbot, it will usually fail out of the box. This is due to Cloudflare's secure defaults which is a good thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity in which even the non-technical guys can just put this system in place by plug-n-play mechanism.

We use cloudflare as the full-stack solution from their CDN service to DDoS protection to website down notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If we can receive real-time notifications of these attacks in place & how the mitigation is happening, would be even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best way to speed up our website worldwide with Cloudflare secure global network"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Cloudflare network API helps us to automate our overall working efforts. When a caching-based website or application is needed we use Cloudflare just because their services have highly granular control over how the content was cached and purged. And in another way, it helps us to reduce the overall origin server load also helps us to use fewer resources. In maximum cause when we use Cloudflare CDN then our user experience was improved and bounce rate was decreed for the same reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Cloudflare just did not provide us the content delivery services with their CDN they provided us lot's of extra security features all those important features are required for running a website. SSL is must be required for every site which is currently provided by Cloudflare with their CDN. Cloudflare fulfill my overall expectation and the team Cloudflare provided us with sufficient support. That's the main reason I cannot dislike anything about Cloudflare CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

Cloudflare CDN is a really powerful way to Increase bandwidth savings and in another way, it's the best way to increase overall site security. With API we easily control cache purge and other things from our site dashboard. Which thing was really great for us. Overall this is a user and developer-friendly system. So I always say yes for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cloudflare Application Security and Performance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Multiple benefits I realize and bandwidth savings is one of the most useful things. And currently, it's started supporting HTTP/3 which thing was protected our sites very well this is the fastest and more powerful than the previous one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
