"Poor on-boarding for high volume e-com clients. "

1.5/5

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

The dashboard is filled with advanced settings and easy to read information.

There is a decent amount of FAQ and Help pages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

On-boarding support is non-existent. If you have an issue setting things up expect a period of extended downtime.

Ticket responses are inconsistent. Sometimes a reply within 5-10 minutes. Other times up to 50 minutes for a response.

A definite push to getting people onto Enterprise plans despite the jump from Business to Enterprise being $200 - $5000 per month simply so you can access telephone support. Perhaps that is why the rest of the support is so poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

I would carefully consider how much downtime you might expect when switching.

You will have to balance

1) Doing the downtime during day-time when support is more responsive but when your customers may be online

2) Doing the downtime out of ours when support is almost non-existent.

You should also consider any other integrations or API's going to your server. For example Linnworks seems to have an issue talking to your server through Cloudflare without additional rules being set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nothing yet. After first day we have had to disable the kit as it was not functioning properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloudflare, The total security solution "

5/5

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

CloudFlare is a company that tries to give the best service to their customers without paying the attention for profit maximization. The reason for that is Cloudflare almost giving their complete solution for free subscribers. Even their pro plans are very cost effective. The most favorite feature of CloudFlare is "Always Online", this helps to reduce all downtimes of the website without spending money. The installation process of CloudFlare is so easy and very fast without any downtimes. Can easily block any IP address and also CloudFlare automatically detects and block bad IPs that can be a threat to the server. Their Content Delivery Network is also very helpful. Using Cloudflare with Wordpress site with their Wordpress plugin makes the sites make the integration more strong. They also offer a great analytic dashboard to analyze most of the data that we need to care. CloudFlare apps are very helpful. especially, their Google Analytics app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I am bit confused to use some features of CloudFlare. Better if they can offer good video tutorials to explain each and every feature. "Rocket Loader" Feature totally messed up some sites. Therefore I don't use that feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

CloudFlare is a free and easy solution. But it is also a total solution. Using Cloudflare makes the mind more peaceful because they take care the security of the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Of course, CloudFlare Does. Their DNS management makes the life easier. When we are dealing with clients, we can simply use Cloudflare DNS and manage client's domains efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product, too expensive to upgrade to "Business" level"

4/5

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

I really like how easy it is to add new domains to CloudFlare, it's quick and painless and only takes a few minutes. Once you start, it's easy to set up the rest of CloudFlare's features including web application firewall, which is the primary reason I use this platform. It adds another layer of security onto our web apps and also provides a great way to stop abuse from even getting to our server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I do not like that it costs $200/month to upgrade to business for a very small, but powerful, set of features. I think compared to other companies that do offer this it seems a bit high. I also would like for them to allow custom certs a the pro level which wold allow the use of the green bar SSL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

If you are using the free version of CloudFlare and have SSL, please note that on a very few OLDER browsers your website will not even load because it blocks by default certain outdated TLS and SSL connections that older browsers only use... this doesn't seem like a problem for some, but on some sites, with older users, it could be... upgrading to PRO solves this, however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Increased security to our website, and increased speed / delivery of cached items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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