"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering, so it's a valuable tool."
"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"The solution does not have hardware or maintenance requirements and is very easy to scale."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."

"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."
"The solution needs additional product options for small and medium enterprises."
