Cloudflare speeds up and protects millions of websites, APIs, SaaS services, and other properties connected to the Internet.
The onboarding process was smooth, the integration simple and the support we got was great. The AI detection is excellent as it helps us block bots we didn't even know existed.
We don’t have to deal with bots anymore. Click fraud is a serious challenge for our whole industry, and trying to fight it was exhausting, time-consuming and inefficient.
Given how much support we get and the quality of the reporting and configuration tools, we definitely are getting our money's worth and recommend DataDome to anyone who needs bot protection.
Unless you understand the entirety of the solution, your implementation can leave gaps for bots to get through, or an incorrect configuration resulting in hours of frustration.
We hired a scraping expert to adversarially test the various bot prevention solutions (PeremiterX, Radware, etc.) and Datadome did as good or better than the other options that are 10x the price.
We were continuously getting hit by loads of unwanted bots, some of which were very aggressive.
Flexible tools and deployment, good reporting, great support, transparent pricing.
We originally used a competitor - Distil Networks (now Imperva). Our experience with them was ok, but the management tools were rudimentary and support became so poor we had to give up on them.
I like that the website’s performance is improved with reguards to the speed with Cloudflare’s CND. The speed of the websiteis increased with the optimizating feature like Brotli compression for SSL.
Cloudflare was slowing down my websites, causing conflicts and the typical "Error 502 - Bad gateway" error. When I stopped using Cloudflare, I never had this issue anymore.
Cloudflare provides our websites for CDN, DDOS security and SSL for free. Its very helpful for our websites reach globally with good speed and secure.
Setting up DNS servers can be difficult and backtracking from a mistake can be very time-consuming unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Overall experience with cloudflare is amazing because it provides so much useful things in their both free & paid membership.
My last, very frustrating experience has ruined the positive experience of previous years. I had to move the site back to the original hosting losing a significant amount of time.
Great set of tools from a reliable and world leading company, with a great community and a full range of documentation.
Also every now and then my site looks odd. I clear the cache on site and browser and it still looks odd.
Karambir: Hi, my name's Karambir. I'm the CEO of a small company. It's just me actually, and I give CloudFlare a four. I found out about CloudFlare. I don't remember exactly how, but it was either through email or internet search, just about this product that was helpful for managing websites, and handling caching, and 24/7 availability, that kind of thing. I chose CloudFlare because it was free. At the time it seemed to be the only product. It was something I could easily create an account for, and it met the basic needs of a small website, which is just making sure it's available all the time, and reasonably good caching and throughput. It was fairly easy to get started with. CloudFlare, you have to switch over your DNA name servers, so it requires some technical experience, but otherwise, it was fairly easy to get set up. Okay, so if you're considering getting CloudFlare, consider it's really designed for higher end websites, with a lot of users, maybe multiple servers spread around the globe. For a smaller organization or just like a one-off website, it may be more complex than you really need. So it depends on the size of your organization, how much traffic, how much web traffic you have.
