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.

Boosts efficiency and reduces operational costs with effective IP tracking

The best features of Radware Bot Manager, as a client, include the reporting because it is easy to understand, easy to read, and easy to get developers or system engineers to understand what they need to implement to secure either a web form or an API, anything similar to that. Radware Bot Manager has positively impacted our organization because we had masses of scans that took place against certain addresses, allowing us to identify those either good or bad. For instance, when the marketing team contacted a scraping company to get more clicks to the website without informing the technical team, we were able to block the source IP address and the marketing team then started collaborating with the development and operational teams to ensure that the correct information is passed on to engineers to get it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"It is a stable solution."

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

More Cloudflare One pros

"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."

"I like how Bot Manager intelligently detects automated tools. If it allows some requests through, identifies them quickly, and contains them effectively. It has an advantage over other solutions because it understands much more quickly that it is an automated process and begins to mitigate it a little more quickly."

"The support from Radware is excellent."

"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."

"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."

"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."

"The ShieldSquare bot mitigation solution helps us to avert product and price scraping attempts by malicious bots, and they not only help us eliminate the bot attacks, but they also provide us with comprehensive reports on bots intent and their activity on our site while ensuring that genuine users are not affected in the complete process."

"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."

More Radware Bot Manager pros

Cons

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

More Cloudflare One cons

"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."

"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."

"Only improvements could be made with the reporting down to a page level."

"Maybe people who are new to it, or haven't used anything similar before, might say that the configuration is a bit difficult unless you're a technical person who understands the flow or the URL environment."

"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."

"While the interface is simple, they could add the ability to upload lists of IPs in an Excel spreadsheet. If there are two or three IPs, it's easy to add them. You have a graphical option to log in and register your IP, but if you want to upload 50 IPs, it becomes more complicated because there are 50 steps. Also, Radware could simplify the implementation of SDK, which is a bit complicated. Radware should work on making the SDK part more efficient."

"Radware's pricing is generally expensive. This could be a deterrent for smaller organizations."

"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."

More Radware Bot Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The solution is not that 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."

"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."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"It is fairly priced."

"We pay a fair price for each application we wish to protect."

"We negotiated a decent price with Radware that fits into our budget. It's a five-year license, so we get a good price and don't need to renew for several years."
