Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is easy to understand and easy to configure.""The blocking feature is very good.""The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks.""The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it.""Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks.""Cloudflare is simple to use.""The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000.""Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"The managed service allows us to confidently rely on Nexusguard’s professional team to take relevant actions as and when required to make sure DDoS attacks are successfully mitigated, ensuring 100% uptime of our service.""The support team was helpful.""Cloud Diversion is another good feature packaged with the whole solution. When attack traffic is detected, Cloud Diversion triggers to automatically route our prefix to Nexusguard’s scrubbing center, ensuring that all attack traffic is dropped in the shortest time possible.""Filters can be customized depending on the characteristics of the attack traffic. This feature has made it easier for Nexusguard's SOC team to further isolate any specific attack that can't be blocked by pre-configured mitigation.""Based on the support received for implementation, I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten."

Cons
"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support.""The onboarding process can be improved a little bit.""There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved.""Operating and tuning the product is difficult.""Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures.""Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar.""The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion.""The response time for support must be reduced."

More Cloudflare DDoS Cons →

"The mitigation scope of Origin Protection is not fully efficient as there could be delays in activating the countermeasures.""The solution must provide features for the post-processing of the traffic type and the traffic quality.""One thing that we would like to improve from them is to provide more training to SOC team for them to have a deep understanding of the solution so that they would always be ready to answer anything without the need to escalate queries to senior personnel.""One of the features that should be added to the next release is report generation. Currently, reports can be downloaded every month and are only available at the beginning of each month. It would be nice to generate the reports based on specific dates that we prefer and not have to wait until the next month for the current month’s report.""There was a certain level of performance degradation in the solution, which I don't know if it can be tuned...In my experience, it is an area that can be improved while also considering the stability and scalability aspects of the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
  • "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."
  • "The solution is not that expensive."
  • "The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one represents a cheap option, and ten represents an expensive option, I would rate the solution a seven in terms of cost."
