The best aspect of the cloud fair is to ensure that they would provide at most security through the clients' information and the data set, especially the SoC as a service which is the first time a kind of marketing strategy that they have using and aside from that, cloud fair has been one of those software people are looking for a special the corporates which have been spammed by various boards and there is a theft of information from there site was theft promotions from the side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

When compared to other systems that are comparable to that cloud flare, the cost is typically higher; however, there are a few configuration and adaptability problems, particularly when we integrate that cloud flare system with other CRMs and other tracking systems. The other deliverability is also a bit slow; hopefully, that will be improved in the next version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy implementation & effective"
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.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

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"
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.

"Great free SSL and CDN"
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"
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.

"One of the better DDos Protection Systems available"
What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

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

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

There is nothing to dislike actually, it's a great product & worked every single time when needed.
