It would be great to implement a transition appliance for receiving logs from Cloudflare to use in on-premise log management and SIEM systems.

"Easily enable SSL, firewall, proxy, and more for your websites"

5/5

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

Changes to Cloudflare DNS and settings are almost instant. The ability to enable SSL for free for my websites is much appreciated when other vendors want to charge a LOT. Cloudflare firewall rules even on free accounts are very helpful. My e-commerce sites are only for select countries, so it is nice to block other countries or continents to reduce exposure to hackers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

They recently changed the interface and there are some quirks that make it more difficult to navigate between multiple sites. It was easier with the previous interface. I'm sure they'll work it out soon though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

Try the free account first as it might meet your needs for small sites. If you get a lot of traffic, then you should increase to 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?

All my websites were easily SSL enabled. Using country and continent block with firewall rules. Quick DNS updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bot Managing Made Easy For Developers & Users"

4/5

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

Using Cloudflare Bot Management product to manage bots enables us to block some bots and allow others through, instead of simply blocking all non-human traffic. If all bots are blocked and Google bots aren't able to index a page, for instance, then that page can't show up in Google search results, resulting in greatly reduced organic traffic to the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

It is very expensive and Cloudflare background on having conflict of interest on working with some of the non social groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

To identify bots, bot managers may use JavaScript challenges (which determines whether or not a traditional web browser is being used) or CAPTCHA challenges. They may also determine which users are humans and which are bots by behavioral analysis – which means comparing a user's behavior to the standard behavior of users in the past. Bot managers must have a large collection of quality behavioral data to check against to do the latter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequently, misleading up-sides can be there, and hailing something similar for survey is an assignment and an expectation to learn and adapt to comprehend the bot scores, so over the long haul Cloudflare can deal with that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloudfare"

5/5

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

Cloudflare uses fingerprinting from millions of Internet properties to accurately classify bots. They do not generate or store device fingerprints, eliminating the risk of user privacy being compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

The main disadvantage is a loss of control over your infrastructure. You no longer have the ability to do some advanced things that you could by running things yourself. Also, there is not a ton of transparency into how things work, and the behavior of CloudFlare can be unpredictable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they had more pricing tiers to make the DNS product more resellable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to setup, doesn't need too much attention Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Nothing serious so far, but maybe one thing: it would be cool to have a dashboard with a single number showing the percentage of bot traffic compared to the total. I couldn't find something like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
