Cloudflare Other Solutions Considered
We did not evaluate other options; they were the same options.
View full review »When we opt for Cloudflare, it's typically because the website requires protection, and users expect an automated investigation. The company's user interface is a notable advantage in this decision. However, this is not unique to Cloudflare and is a common feature among its competitors as well.

We have some customers who cannot afford to have a downtime of an hour, so the customer has to choose. We give them other options, such as Akamai CDN, who provide a 100% SLA and they haven't failed in 17 years. That's a different clientele. Younger startups sometimes break things by pushing out new applications and they're used to having a more fragile environment.

I did not evaluate other options. I found Cloudflare on a YouTube tutorial. So I tried it and liked it, and I never even thought about looking for something else.
We evaluated MaxCDN and Incapsula.

I've used various solutions like full hosting companies (Bluehost, iPage, etc.) and most recently GoDaddy. I also looked at Google domains and Namecheap.

The solution is a great fit for customers who want unlimited bandwidth.
Competitors such as Akamai have strict options for bandwidth so might not be a good fit.

We did review a couple of options, Tenable and a couple of others. We settled on Cloudflare because of price, support, and of course comfort in dealing with a vendor that was supporting us.

Before selecting CloudFlare, we looked at Amazon products. Although AWS provides a range of services and is a standardized platform, I found CloudFlare to be a much easier and faster solution for websites.

View full review »CloudFlare was the first CDN we used, and luckily, we haven't been given a reason to use another solution. In the past, we used server-based software, caching modules, etc.
