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.

Have built secure, automated DNS pipelines and simplified cloud DNS management through integration
I would like to see a bunch of templated or policy-driven provisioning for DNSSEC in the next release of Infoblox BloxOne DDI. Additionally, I would like to see DNS hosting so you do not have to deploy the NIOS appliances yourself or manage another cloud DNS service. This would allow you to pare back your DNS registration and hosting to just registrar services. That way, you would have a fully integrated, vertically integrated API stack for being able to affect all of your automated changes against your actual public authorities as well rather than just your internal resolvers and authorities. I think that would be something quite cool for them to have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is extremely easy but will require access to your Domain Name Servers."
"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."
"The simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"CloudFlare provides an answer to a variety of issues, so it gives you very high value for your money."
"Using the CDN of Cloudflare improved the speed significantly, reducing the page loading times to appropriate levels."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI has positively impacted our organization by providing a drastic change in our DNS capability and management on a global level; it provides a single pane of glass for visibility and management, it's a SaaS-based solution, allowing anyone to access it over the internet without a VPN, and it's highly user-friendly with a customizable user interface."
"It actually prevents a lot of false alarms because if a link is blocked by antivirus, it creates an alert for the IT risk team to investigate. By not resolving the IP for a malicious link, it stops many issues before they escalate. This has improved our security posture significantly."
"When we compare, if we spend 200,000 to 250,000 every year or every second year on security compliance, that is money we could transfer into the licensing for a SaaS service such as Infoblox BloxOne DDI, then we get all of the continuous patching, threat analysis, and that type of capability coming through without having to maintain such skilled staff."
"A valuable feature is blocking domain generation, which automatically generates domains to protect the internal network."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox BloxOne DDI are its ability to manage all DDI services effectively and monitor them in real-time."
"In my experience, I am satisfied with the functionality; there is no lack of functions, and it is a very powerful solution because they work with this technology, so they are probably number one."
"The overall product rating is ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"There should at least be a read-only view of the data so that resellers can properly support the clients."
"Latencies are always a problem."
"Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."
"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"Technical support is lacking."
"CloudFlare doesn't provide the cache flush history. I am not able to find out the URL information of those I have recently flushed."
"There is a need for a comprehensive database on DNS."
"At this stage, we are struggling to use some of the DNS features of the platform, which are more about protecting your domain from hijacking and similar threats."
"Infoblox is fairly expensive for my customers. I am unsure if this is a general comment or specific to my situation."
"I would add that Infoblox support can be more impactful in high emergency cases, as there are times they take considerable time to find the problem, which impacts the infrastructure, so they can improve their support structuring."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI would not be for smaller companies. I think if you are under 1,200 staff, you probably want to look for a professional service or something that is integrated into the platforms you have already got."
"Infoblox BloxOne DDI is good to use, but there could be improvements in its visualization and dashboarding UI."
"There are probably some strict agreements, and the answers are probably not so rapid. The responsiveness could at least be improved, but I have not had many cases, just a few."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
