We performed a comparison between Cloudflare and Verizon EdgeCast based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"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 has many features."
"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
