It's easy to set up because you point the DNS to it, and it's working in under 15 minutes
Cloudflare is highly scalable. Cloudflare is a system with a web portal that the end users like me see. It's a console where we can adjust the DNS, caching, and security features all in that console. Cloudflare owns thousands of servers across the world that cache the data. It's a powerful solution. When clients sign up for Cloudflare, they're getting this monster content delivery network, security, and a web application firewall in one. It's all rolled into one, and it's massive. Unless you have your website hosted on a massive hosting provider, there's no way that you can deliver the amount of data that Cloudflare can provide to the end users. If you have static content, there's no way that you can ever match what Cloudflare can do. Obviously, there are competitors to Cloudflare that do the same, but I'm saying other types of solutions. Let's say you go with F5. Great, that's on-prem. That's in your colo. You can't deliver as much data to the internet as you can with a CDN. You don't have to spend $20,000 on a net scaler, F5, or whatever Cisco's selling now. You don't have to buy that. You pay them $50 a month or $150 a month. It's totally worth it because even in five years, you'll never get the performance value, not just the actual ROI. You have to consider how much throughput you can get with Cloudflare.

Controls and limits data transfers to enhance security but network traffic visibility needs improvement
DeviceLock has been problematic and not very effective for us so far, maybe due to configuration issues. It was already in place when I joined and wasn't performing well. We need more control over data, which DeviceLock hasn't provided yet. I remember they moved to Acronis from another company. There were features related to network traffic visibility, which could improve the DLP significantly. Other solutions already offer this kind of network visibility for data loss prevention. They are limited compared to before. Some features were removed from the current version. Policy management with DeviceLock was not very user-friendly. The IT team had to access two servers to make changes. The way the platform and solution are presented requires time to understand and get familiar with.

Implements confidentiality principles effectively
Over the years, a lot has changed, so it is not that much at the moment. I know they are all working on changing the look and feel, the UI. It is always good to have a more modern look and feel than the old-school square blocks. Other than that, it's mainly support. Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies. It's not always the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"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."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."
"The most useful feature is the control and limiting of users sending documentation. It works with classification. When you classify your data, DeviceLock identifies it and, depending on your policy, can notify you where the data is going and who's using it."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do."
"Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."
"Technical support is lacking."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"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."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Support response time could be improved."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"Policy management with DeviceLock was not very user-friendly."
"I would rate the solution seven out of ten based on my last experience within the last six months. It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability."
"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected."
"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A free version of the solution is available."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"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."
"The product's pricing is cheap."
"The price is reasonable."
"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."
"We don't have any issues with the price."

"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
