Advanced protection has secured critical web workloads and provides clear traffic visibility
From a security perspective, there remains a security loophole, as some browsers in the market can bypass the Turnstile solution, which requires approximately 40 seconds to do so. From a performance perspective, this is acceptable. We also tried Google reCAPTCHA, and that can also be bypassed. From a security perspective, I would say neither solution is completely secured. Regarding uptime, we have faced a couple of incidents due to Cloudflare in recent years, so I cannot say we receive 100% uptime for our region. We sometimes face challenges, including downtime and other issues. As a result, we are not receiving 100% uptime from Cloudflare's solution. Since most of our customers are in this region, we need alternatives. We need something more competitive than Cloudflare. Unfortunately, in Bangladesh, Cloudflare has three points of presence already, and we cannot find any other solution provider in Bangladesh as an alternative, which presents another challenge. Competitor solutions have more attack signatures, which ensure better security compared to Cloudflare's predefined configurations. Customers do not have options to modify any configuration parameters in Cloudflare, whereas other competitor solutions, such as F5 Distributed Cloud, allow customers to tune configurations according to their requirements. Cloudflare could improve in this area. Additionally, regarding visibility, Cloudflare has static visibility, but they could adopt dynamic graph features for their customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When using services like Heroku, Cloudflare is very useful for CNAME flattening. I also use it for their end-to-end SSL with TLS authentication on nginx for securing servers."
"Cloudflare has positively impacted our organization by giving us flexibility to manage the DNS part, being quite fast, and allowing us to manage everything from a single dashboard, which is quite handy."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"I didn’t have to pay anything for better website security and reduced server load."
"Cloudflare improves performance on my websites and is a great partner for cloud infrastructure for anyone who wants to use the security service and other features."
"Cloudflare has made management of my website much easier by combining various functions in one platform without compromising quality."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Tough to provide numbers, but avoiding downtime and calls from my employees when the VPN goes down was priceless."
"We have improved our flexibility to deploy web-based or DNS based solutions globally and deliver services more reliably."
"Support was outstanding when first setting up in trial mode and also after we had gone live with the product."
"Great performance, easy configuration."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Cloudflare are a bit on the higher side overall."
"I think they have failed with their technical support."
"If they improve on the placement of their data centers, it would be better. I'm living in a remote area. I would like to connect to them without any kind of lag."
"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"We are a product integrator and reseller, and we would like to have a better partner relationship, similar to a channel sales relationship. Sometimes we are on our own or get diverted by Cloudflare because they have direct sales, which competes with us and makes it difficult to build a relationship with this company since we want to be an MSP or a managed service provider for the solution."
"The one feature that is paid is the custom nameservers instead of using the default ones, I want to use a custom one."
"Technical support is not well developed. While there are good engineers, Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model."
"The email for each line change is excessive, perhaps if the change emails consolidated all changes per domain in a given hour."
"My only recommendation might be a better, more modern interface."
"Just to be able to import records with our current DNS product which didn't seem to work with importing domains using AXFR zone transfer records."
"Compared to the other platforms, the interface is not as smooth, but the options and support help make that a non-issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
