We performed a comparison between Cloudflare and Radware DefensePro based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"Many websites require an SSL certificate because they sell stuff and want SSL. Cloudflare comes with an SSL certificate built in. It's automatic. You sign yourself up for Cloudflare, and an SSL certificate automatically protects your website. You don't necessarily need a certificate if you have a connection between your website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"The technical support is good."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"The important features include automated protection and defense against many attacks, it's important that our networks are protected in the Radware cloud."
"The reporting is very good and provides us with a comprehensive description of where attacks are emanating from."
"A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The DDoS protection that the solution provides is its most valuable feature."
"Its functionality is very good."
"The dashboard is the best part, and there is also the ease of operations."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"For the free and Pro plans, Cloudflare could use a simple bot to provide information to users. This would improve support, especially for less advanced users who utilize the free components."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."
"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."
"The dashboard could be updated."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
"The solution needs a bit more functionality. It would be good if DefensePro could have anti-bot functionalities in order to stop bots like web scrapers from getting onto our customers’ network."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"I had some trouble in the registration account prior to deployment, but it was fixed. They were not very fast or responsive, however. It took about one week to resolve the issue."
