"Where Performance & Reliability meet Cost Effectiveness"

5/5

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

Cloudflare CDN is amazing. Cloudflare cleverly built tools for small as well as big businesses. The CDN allows faster performance and efficiency on smaller sites as well as larger sites. It is most useful for sites using servers located at 1 location, but serving content for the entire world. Besides, Cloudflare is also useful for larger sites, as the security features and caching can save you a lot of money, and reduce a lot of hassle. Their free plan offers more features than paid plans of many of their competitors.

It offers way to many features even in free plan, if you own a small server, you would be amazed by the performance and security benefits, and if you own powerful servers, the performance jump might not be very noticeable, but some of there features like GZip compression, Caching, HTTP/2 serving and many more will really improve your efficiency and security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I don't like cloudflare's overly crowded UI that promotes there paid plans. Often times when you open any settings, you would be greeted with half the features that are only for paid customers. The free features are plenty, and are very useful, but so many labels of paid features make it crowded and not a pleasant experience. There different price plans aren't very intuitive either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

I would advice you to start slowly, cloudflare is vast, and I personally had to spend about 2 days to get it fully configures with my site. I have heard similar experience from others. The key is to understand each and every setting could change of your CDN's interactions with site, play with each setting one by one. For me it was the wrong SSL settings. So be careful, small things can cause errors, but once you are done, you would reap the benefits for months to come, I after the initial configuration (4 years ago) rarely changed anything, and it worked like magic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am saving a lot of money from Cloudflare. I am able to run my servers at far cheaper price, because Cloudflare takes a lot of burden of my server, Cloudflare helps in caching, compression, security and more. meaning that often users are served directly from Cloudflare so that my server has to do less work. Cloudflare's features like Always Online, allow me to make changes to my site in production and ensuring that incase of error, customers would be served the cached version, and won't know that site is actually down.

"CloudFare Spectrum in review 2022"

3.5/5

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

The vast functionality provided by Cloudflare Spectrum spans superior load balancing and great video CDN and enhanced DDOS protection which makes the overall user experience very fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

The initial setup was quite a leaning curve but once you get a hold of it,it pretty is to configure and manage. The pricing can be a little more competitive but no other concerns as of now . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very simple to implement and have security and speed"

4.5/5

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

Very simple setup, free tier is already great for speed and security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I have found out that their free tier ssl does not support some older computers (windows xp), but that's fine. I know there's no free lunch, so I'm happy to pay them 20dollars/month to get that solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

it's a great free cdn option anyone can use, and their security features make us sleep well every night. if you want to be able to support https with older browsers, you will have to get a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Website speed optimization, security. Also their page rules are quite useful for redirecting the .com domain to our country domains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure your site"

5/5

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

It's too easy to set up and protects any website, Cloudfare DNS not only helps in managing DNS but also helps in caching static website that speeds up sites much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I don't think particularly anything I dislike about Cloudflare since in the free plan they provide much of things for free that no other company is willing to provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My choice for all DNS needs"

5/5

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

I use CloudFlare with every single website I host online. It provides everything I need; protection for my source IP (so it is not exposed), free HTTPS support for my domains and subdomains, and also fast caching that gives users a better experience overall. I am able to set up page rules which allow me to control the behavior of links and pages on my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I do not dislike anything; I use the free plan and it provides everything I need to manage my website DNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Probably best CDN for self-hosted sites"

5/5

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

The ease of setup and the price are excellent. Cloudflare incapsulates such features as DNS, Caching, SSL verification, firewall, built-in apps, and DDOS protection. They are all easy to use, and there are no complicated forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Initial engagement is pretty lengthy, and it takes a while to get everything verified. Once you onboard a domain, setting up subdomains is fast and convenient. Buying domains is not available, though. There is no specialized dynamic DNS client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Cloudflare to host my DNS, cache my static files, protect my website from bots and visitors from other countries.

Cloudflare hides my actual IP address and allows quick change of the IP behind a website. Proxying traffic through Cloudflare is one of the best features since I do not need to pay for a static IP address, and it saves a lot of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
