Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites
I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Provides real-time alerts and efficient data governance with easy integration
The best features of Amazon Macie include sensitive data identification, particularly for PII, which is pre-built and helpful because we don't have to define it ourselves. Those features are already embedded, which was beneficial. Additionally, some insights and alerts were coming up that were also pre-configured. It's not difficult to do that, but it's more of a build versus buy decision. These features were of great help to us. My experience with Amazon Macie's ability to provide alerts for suspicious activity in real-time has been good. We utilized the alerts for threat detection. Customizable features of Amazon Macie have helped significantly in maintaining fine-grained control over access and usage of sensitive information, offering a good combination of personalized options and out-of-the-box solutions.

Facilitates efficient secret management and improves development processes
Regarding the exceptions in GitGuardian Platform, we know that within the platform we have a way to accept a path or a directory from a repository, but it is not that visible at the very beginning. You have to figure out where to search for it, and once you have it, it is really good, but it is not that visible at the beginning. This should be made more exposed. The documentation could be better because it was not that comprehensively documented. When we started working with GitGuardian Platform, it was difficult to find some specific use cases, and we were not aware of that. It might have improved now, but at that time, it was not something we would recommend.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Clover is the best product globally."
"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."
"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."
"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."
"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."
"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."
"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."
"The blocking feature is very good."
"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"The detailed reports on data privacy risk provided by Amazon Macie are really good and have contributed positively to our data governance strategies."
"The tool's performance is good."
"GitGuardian Internal Monitoring has helped increase our secrets detection rate by several orders of magnitude."
"We have seen a return on investment; the amount of time that we would have spent manually doing this definitely outpaces the cost of GitGuardian, as it is saving us about $35,000 a year, so I would say the ROI is about $20,000 a year."
"I like that GitGuardian automatically notifies the developer who committed the change. The security team doesn't need to act as the intermediary and tell the developer there is an alert. The alert goes directly to the developer."
"The most valuable feature is the alerts when secrets are leaked and we can look at particular repositories to see if there are any outstanding problems. In addition, the solution's detection capabilities seem very broad. We have no concerns there."
"It's fantastic. We have checked a couple of other vendors and seen their results, which are quite inferior to the amount of detail that the GitGuardian Platform provides. With instantaneous notifications connected to our Slack platform, it allows us to deal quickly with incidents."
"GitGuardian Platform scans every commit, branch, pull request, and the entire repository history, which informs us about security gaps and code issues."
"GitGuardian has helped to increase our security team's productivity. Now, we don't need to call the developers all the time and ask what they are working on. I feel the solution bridged the gap between our team and the developers, which is really great. I feel that we need that in our company, since some of the departments are just doing whatever and you don't know what they are doing. I think GitGuardian does a good job of bridging the gap. It saves us about 10 hours per week."
"Time to remediation is now in minutes or hours, whereas it used to take days or weeks previously."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."
"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."
"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."
"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."
"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."
"Feedback could be enhanced."
"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."
"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."
"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"My experience with the pricing or licensing of Amazon Macie is that it was good enough to get started with, but as we keep adding, it increases the cost as well."
"GitGuardian could have more detailed information on what software engineers can do. It only provides some highly generic feedback when a secret is detected. They should have outside documentation. We send this to our software engineers, who are still doing the commits. It's the wrong way to work, but they are accustomed to doing it this way. When they go into that ticket, they see a few instructions that might be confusing. If I see a leaked secret committed two years ago, it's not enough to undo that commit. I need to go in there, change all my code to utilize GitHub secrets, and go on AWS to validate my key."
"I rate GitGuardian Platform a nine out of ten because there is a slight learning curve in integration, and I would have preferred integration with AI-native development workflows."
"They could give a developer access to a dashboard for their team's repositories that just shows their repository secrets. I think more could be exposed to developers."
"There are some features that are lacking in GitGuardian."
"There is room for improvement in its integration for bug-tracking. It should be more direct. They have invested a lot in user management, but they need to invest in integrations. That is a real lack."
"The areas that have room for improvement involve the missing feature to add custom detectors for the GitGuardian Platform, which would help us check if internal secrets are still valid or not."
"GitGuardian Platform can be improved with better integration with enterprise ticketing platforms, enhancing the dashboard for executive reporting, and providing more automation for remediation."
"We have encountered occasional difficulties with the Single Sign-On process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."
"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."
"The solution is not that expensive."
"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
"The prices are slightly expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."
"You need to pay per usage."
"It's a bit expensive, but it works well. You get what you pay for."
"I compared the solution to a couple of other solutions, and I think it is very competitively priced."
"I am only aware of the base price. I do not know what happened with our purchasing team in discussions with GitGuardian. I was not privy to the overall contract, but in terms of the base MSRP price, I found it reasonable."
"The pricing for GitGuardian is fair."
"The pricing and licensing are fair. It isn't very expensive and it's good value."
"It's not cheap, but it's not crazy expensive either."
"It's a little bit expensive."
"It could be cheaper. When GitHub secrets monitoring solution goes to general access and general availability, GitGuardian might be in a little bit of trouble from the competition, and maybe then they might lower their prices. The GitGuardian solution is great. I'm just concerned that they're not GitHub."
