Protecting our digital lives
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?
Cloudflare's strength is in its unified cloud platform. It protects data at the edge, no matter where it is or what kind of threat it faces. It can stop DDoS attacks before they reach you.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
In the social media world, protecting brand assets like content, data, and customer data is important. Cloudflare's secure web gateways create virtual air-gaps, preventing threats from reaching our endpoints. It also helps with data loss prevention for compliance.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Cloudflare's cloud-native architecture could make it slower for our remote social teams around the world. Some workflows need an on-premise version.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
As a social media manager, our brand's digital presence is our life. We have lots of sensitive data that criminals want. Security tools alone weren't enough to protect us from today's attackers. Cloudflare's platform gave us the robust edge we required, providing protection across our cloud ecosystem. It secures our SaaS workflows and enforces zero-trust guardrails. We'll never have to worry about catastrophic breaches again.

It protects your websites and is pricey
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?
Cloudflare has more features that are more useful to any website and they do not charge per feature but per month, However, the subscription type determines how many features you can use. What makes it more unique is its straightforward integration with websites by just adding their nameservers and in a short time, the website gets protected.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like the pricing of the software, it has both free version and paid plans so it depends on your goal and why you need the tool, secondly, the software customer team are always available for any technical question. I like also the security measures where it blocks traffic from robots and hence giving our business pure human traffic and blocks the bots from accessing our data
What do you dislike most about this product?
Integrating the website with Cloudflare means the website will initially load from the resources of Cloudflare and this makes the website to load slowly since it will have to first verify the browser and the security of the internet that a user is connected too and hence making the website to load a bit slower
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend Cloudflare because it is safe and does not ready any website files or having any access to website files but rather communicates with your host to deliver optimized security.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Caring
- Saves Time
