For the small project I was working on, using the basic tier provided a huge improvement at zero cost.
In terms of return on investment with Cloudflare, it costs my time to set them up, but basically once they're set up, it's done.
The return on investment for me is significant as time is the critical aspect.
For us as the enterprise, it literally shows the impact on technical resources and also the egress data from Cloud services such as AWS and Azure has come down significantly.
Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model.
I would rate the technical support with Cloudflare as excellent every time I've had to call them.
We use other solutions where support is available through Slack channels and is more interactive, with someone responding within a couple of minutes or seconds.
I would rate the technical support from Radware Bot Manager a nine on a scale of one to ten.
The tool offers very good performance, even during high-traffic periods.
Cloudflare's scalability is quite good; it is very easy to scale whenever we want to include multiple domains.
The service is very stable with no impacts during high-traffic periods.
Cloudflare's reliability and uptime has met my expectations; it has been quite good in general.
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 be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option.
Protection against creating duplicated DMARC entries would be beneficial, along with setting permissions to restrict modification of DMARC or SPF records.
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.
I find it to be cheap.
However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high.
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Cloudflare are a bit on the higher side overall.
My experience with the pricing and setup costs for Radware Bot Manager shows that the setup costs were almost nothing because we made use of the trial manager.
Most of our DNS records that are presented to the internet are proxied whenever possible, providing another layer of defense from our perspective.
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.
Cloudflare has recently implemented AI Crawl Control. From their panel, we can control which AI to allow on our domain and which AI to block.
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.
