Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"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 offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"The three most valuable features that I noticed are the geo-localization of the user, the IP reputation, and the compartmental analysis."
"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 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."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"Technical support is lacking."
"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."
"Support response time could be improved."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"The area that should be improved is licensing."
