"Free or paid, the best DNS, CDN and Security provider"

5/5

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

Easy to use, protects site from spam and hackers, many option to speed up websites as well. It is a DNS Provider, Content Delivery Network (CDN), Security System with a Web Application Firewall, with free SSL services. With the free option alone you can speed up your website and protect it. When you add a new site, it will automatically pull in 99% of your active DNS settings. You should always compare the old with the new to make sure you have everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Not much to dislike here. Recently removed their secondary domain pricing which is a bummer, $20 is now the cheapest paid solution. The interface can be a bit overwhelming at first. I use CloudFlare a lot so I have become accustomed to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

This is a no-brainer. As an all-around service, nobody does it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I consult with businesses and CloudFlare is one of my top suggestions. I can protect multiple websites, speed them up, provide reports to customers on bandwidth savings, stop hacker attempts, and more. I don't use any other DNS/CDN service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"There are no reasons why not to use it."

5/5

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

Cloudflare service is extremely easy to setup and it provides limitless control over your network. They really care about security and that's why they are offering their best services in their free plan, like having HTTPS on your websites.

Getting hooked up with CloudFlare is easy, fast and enables you to have control over your traffic, cache and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

To be honest, there is nothing I dislike about CloudFlare. I just wish they provide more information about the reason behind all the requests that counted as malicious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

Just do it. You gain much more and lose nothing.

The only thing you should be aware of is your cache servers. You need to put a little time on defining URLs that you don't want CloudFlare cache (if you have any). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using it as our DNS, CDN and we are enabling HTTPS on our website. Managing DNS could not be easier with CloudFlare. It is fast and dead simple.

You can have CDN just with one click and you'll get it for free. Same thing goes with HTTPS, you can enable HTTPS on your website with just one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Good, Dramatic Increase in Performance and PageSpeed/YSlow Scores"

4/5

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

Has dramatically increased site performance our Pagespeed and YSlow scores. We were previously capped at C's and B's despite all optimization efforts, with CloudFlare we now score A's.

Also – If there is a problem with a website users will still see something – they see a snapshot of the home page with a message saying that the live site is offline. This is better than nothing.

The system is also very easy to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

It would be nice if more pages were cached so more links would work when the site is offline. We had the impression most if not all pages would be cached. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

It is very good at improving performance. All metrics show dramatic improvements in speed and optimization.

The site caching – for availability when the site is down – is not what we hoped for. We had hoped it would cache the full site, but as far as we can tell it does not. The home page, and maybe a few others.

The three zone concept takes a minute to understand but makes perfect sense and is very intuitive once you get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Improved performance – all performance metrics have improved dramatically. And the caching feature means that if the site goes offline it does not appear as catastrophic – visitors still see something.

We recently tested running our SugarCRM on-premise installation through CloudFlare. We didn't really expect it to work but it did, and made a huge difference. You can see detailed performance stats here:

http://www.markandersononline.com/blog/optimize-sugarcrm-premise-cloudflare-cdn/

In short it cut page load times almost in half - a massive gain that was effectively free. It took maybe a couple of hours to set up and test, and we already had a CloudFlare subscription in place.

Our SugarCRM users are very happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That's it's a free DNS service that also protects my domains from downtime and attacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. The mobile interface could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare Application Security and Performance:

Put in the effort to look through the entire feature-set and learn how it works. It might be somewhat confusing at times but their knowledge base has a plethora of very useful information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
