"Sad I didn't hear about it sooner"

5/5

I wish it offered more in the free plan, in terms of page rules and the firewall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extra layer of encryption & security"

3.5/5

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

Cloudfare DNS is pretty easy to set up with existing ISP. It adds a layer of encryption so it's more difficult for the ISP to see the data that's being sent to view websites.

1.1.1.1 does not mine any user data. Logs are kept for 24 hours for debugging purposes, then they are purged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

This is a relatively difficult concept for some people to understand and it also leaves the trust to cloudfare that their encryption is working as intended and there's no bugs in their code. The terms of service can always change Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Encrypting data between client and ISP.

The main reasons to switch to a third-party DNS resolver are security and performance. ISPs do not always use strong encryption on their DNS or support DNSSEC, which makes their DNS queries vulnerable to data breaches and exposes users to threats like man-in-the-middle attacks.

" Best software for online web protection "

4/5

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

The program provides a suite of products for optimizing website speed and security. Because of its secure and speed, it optimizes site loading much faster by acting as an intermediary between site servers and clients . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Occasionally the Reputation Threat module blocks malicious threats by identifying IP addresses and sometimes those IP aren’t always a threat. Maybe it’s due to not recognizing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Website performance and security tool. "

4.5/5

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

What I like about Cloudflare is that it keeps the IP addresses of our servers hidden from possible attackers. It detects the location of visitors and directs them to their nearest data center so that it can serve from its cache to reduce latency. You can easily block threats and abusive robots. You can detect and mitigate DDoS attacks to protect your websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Email notifications can be a bit excessive, and their interface can use iconography instead of redacted descriptions, which makes some functions difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
