Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."It's very user-friendly."
"The UI is good."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."
"DNS Management."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"Latencies are always a problem."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."
"We are a product integrator and reseller, and we would like to have a better partner relationship, similar to a channel sales relationship. Sometimes we are on our own or get diverted by Cloudflare because they have direct sales, which competes with us and makes it difficult to build a relationship with this company since we want to be an MSP or a managed service provider for the solution."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"Performance could be improved."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
