"More Than Just A CDN"

4.5/5

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

Cloudflare acts as a protection layer in front of your website. DDOS attacks, spams, and even bad ip's will be blocked or challenged based on the setting you have done with page rules or firewall settings. It even hides your servers IP, so intentional hacking will be prevented.

It does speed up your website tremendously with its CDN. You could also set how long it your files be cached on any CDN server they have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Trial and error consumes time when you already have a separate caching for your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent service that includes a free tier"

4.5/5

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

Ability to cloak websites, protect from DDoS, and increased up-time is the reason for choosing Cloudflare. Reliability is excellent. Very easy to use UI which includes a free-tier for home users and enthusiasts. I use the service both for home-use and professionally at work. Compression is a perk too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Free tier doesn't include access logs, just general access counts and which country connections came from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

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

Main purpose was to increase security and uptime. Security is increased by masking our web servers using Cloudflare. Our public IPs are exposed to the internet, but now harder to find. Uptime is also increased because CF provides a cached version of the site while the website is down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudFlare DNS is pretty fast to access, with 2FA secured login. The DNS features are really advanced, and offer a multitude of possibilities concerning the records update. Best of all, we were able to choose which record were to go though the Cloud (Secured CloudFlare) and which records were to bypass CloudFlare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, in order to use custom nameservers, there is an expensive fee and package (Enterprise) update required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloudflare - Best DNS & CDN services"

4.5/5

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

What I like most about Cloudflare is that it helps improve the loading speed of our website. Because they provide CDN systems worldwide, it will help website owners greatly in improving website speed, regardless of whether visitors are from anywhere in the world.

In addition, the installation and configuration of Clouflare is also very easy, just need a few basic operations in minutes I have completed a website. Clear & easy-to-use interface is also a success of Cloudflare.

Furthermore, when using Cloudflare, I was offered a free SSL, which I had to buy at a high cost before.

Most specifically, I absolutely do not need to pay any fees when using Cloudflare. The free version of Cloudflare provides all the features that my website needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

What I don't like about Cloudflare is their report system. Stats and analytics of Cloudflare are quite limited and are not very detailed. Traffic reports that are provided are also quite limited.

In addition, Cloudflare does not provide me with a tool to see the improvement of my website's loading speed.

In fact, I'm quite happy to use Cloudflare, I don't have any serious problem when using it. So, at the moment, I still use Cloudflare for all of my websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

Because Cloudflare offers a free version with lots of important functions, Cloudflare is suitable for small and medium websites or startups. It will help you save a lot of costs while ensuring your website operates stably and safely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used Cloudflare for all my websites. Because Cloudflare is free and for all kind of benefits it gives me, I will continue to use it for future websites.

The main purpose of using Cloudflare is to increase page loading speed as well as the security of the website. I am satisfied with what Cloudflare offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

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

Cloudflare speeds up our site drastically, because of its CDN, where it caches cacheable files on the nearest location to your visitor, thus also reducing the usage of your servers resources.

It also helps to optimize your site, with brotli compression for ssl enabled sites and minification of html, js and css codes.

Also, protects our site by hiding our original IP server and ddos attacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

We'd like to upgrade to their paid plans but it is so expensive and we think it is not worth it to the current state of our site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:
