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.

Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support

In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

Distributors highly benefit from advanced data monitoring and seamless integration features

The Machine Learning capability could be improved, particularly in data discovery. When given sensitive data expressions, the system retrieves files that are not always related. The system should adhere strictly to the given expression rather than just focusing on keywords within the expression. In endpoint features, while the detection rate is good, there could be improvements in remediation and rollback solutions during attacks. Other solutions now include such options since providing 100% security is impossible. The flexibility varies across environments. Enterprise customers find the product performs well without affecting their data, with scans running as scheduled. However, SMB customers experience some performance issues during scanning. Since EDR is integrated, users must access the EDR console to check endpoint detections. It would be beneficial if this functionality were incorporated within the EPO console, as the current threat graphs link doesn't display endpoint threat graphs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"We mostly use Cloudflare WAF, and gets basic Cloudflaire DDoS, caching as extra bonus . We like the factor these features are all integrated into 1 console, simple to manage."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More Cloudflare One pros

"This backup solution seems to be the best on the market."

"Compared to all other backup solutions that I have encountered, Crashplan is a pleasure to use."

"Numerous real world restorations on servers and laptops, central administration ensures we see who isn't backed up before they lose data."

"ROI was immediate since we didn't have any way to monitor remote users backups and was able to recover accidentally deleted files within the first week."

"The most valuable features for us are the training and support they provide, as well as ease of backup from the product."

"The endpoint backup component (the primary feature) is second to none."

"This has been the easiest, most reliable backup product I have ever used."

"Seamless backup of our valuable data on mobile systems."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection pros

"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."

"The solution is stable and does not have glitching issues."

"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."

"I rate the product an eight out of ten."

"The best thing about Trellix DLP is its unified console that allows us to manage all products from endpoint protection to email protection, DLP, and many more, including SIM."

"Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions."

"I am satisfied with stability as there are not any latencies."

More Trellix DLP pros

Cons

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

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

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."

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

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

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

More Cloudflare One cons

"The licenses are not so cheap, but are also scalable to your number of customers."

"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."

"We had one server that has tendency to make the client stop, but usually fixes itself if you give it a few hours."

"Hey, Code 42! Isn't it time that we lose the Java dependency??"

"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."

"The GUI could use improvement, but generally it's fine."

"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."

"Reporting."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection cons

"The main issue I have currently is with technical support."

"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."

"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."

"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected. The agents often affect endpoint performance negatively and do not behave consistently across all machines."

"If I compare Trellix DLP with other solutions such as Forcepoint, Trellix DLP isn't up to the mark."

"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."

"When cases are raised, partners perform initial L1 or L2 troubleshooting. However, ticket resolution times are often too long, with new engineers sometimes requesting the same logs repeatedly."

"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."

More Trellix DLP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"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 solution is not that expensive."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

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

"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."

"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."

"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."

"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."

"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."

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