Digital projects Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good app to ensure security" September 19, 2025 5.0 Very good experience with Cloudflare. We have a lot of websites and our admins can configure it very easily. Pros There are a lot of free options and tools No downtime on years with Cloudflare Very good bot protection Cheap Cons Need skills to configure some options Very slow customer support Some bugs with DNS (need to clear and re-add it) Review Source JM Jaison M. Production Manager Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid content security with setup complexity" August 20, 2025 5.0 Shaved us 40% off bandwidth expense and removed most bot attacks to our streaming media. Wonderful value at $20/month for our traffic level, though rollout took three weeks for our tech staff to implement to perfection. Pros Bot protection prevents our video streams from being successfully scraped by attackers. Auto-rules deflect 95% of unwanted traffic without manual tuning, and CDN accelerates our large media files to global audiences. Cons Steep learning curve exists for advanced configurations, and customer support lags days for challenging configuration issues. Review Source JL Jamie L. Owner Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend Cloudflare for Websites" August 29, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Cloudflare has been perfect for my website and business needs. Once I set it up, it practically runs itself. Pros What I like most about Cloudflare is its easy connectivity and website integration for my multiple websites. Cons Cloudflare has a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure it out, it makes a big difference in your website. Review Source DA Daniel A. Digital Content Creator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Valuable Protection Against Threats" June 17, 2025 5.0 Overall it's been an excellent partnership and I foresee continued use of Cloudflare to protect my website. Pros Cloudflare has provided a valuable tool to protect my website from harmful outside threats and attacks. Cons Sometimes, it can be difficult to integrate new requirements into the existing setup within Cloudflare. Review Source DR David R. Dive Operation Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firm bot protection with some config work." August 29, 2025 5.0 Reduced bot-initiated service disruption, and cached content loads quicker, enabling smooth booking and media delivery across locations. Pros Bot rules block all the bulk traffic to our booking and streaming pages, and the CDN enhances international visitors' page speed. Cons Steep learning curve, and assistance is delayed on troubleshoots for custom firewall rules. Without that issue i found everything good. Review Source David V. Lead Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A powerful and helpful tool for our website services" January 16, 2026 5.0 Overall, cloudflare was a little bit of a learning curve in the beginning, but now it is an integral part of our website services. Pros Cloudflare is a valuable service to have for your web presence and helps deliver a faster website user experience for our clients, with great features and spam/bot traffic protection. Cons Initial setup was challenging, but now, using WPEngine, they have integrated Cloudflare directly and it provides a seamless experience for setting up new websites. Review Source Dohan E. Co-founder Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Worst support - rather use bunny.net" December 17, 2025 1.0 Never paid so much for a service and experienced no support. Some features on the website, like receiving a F2A token to access your account also does also not work. Pros NOTHING > rather choose the CDN called Bunny.net as they are faster and more affordable. There is absulutley nothing good to say about this business. Cons On a Pro plan, you wait days for support to answer, if they even do. They are also overpriced compared to a better CDN called bunny.net Review Source TG Tim G. Customer Service Executive Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Puts us at ease with security and speed." July 21, 2025 5.0 We found the DDoS spikes were causing repeated down time that Cloudflare helped prevent. It also reduced the number of spam form submissions, making our support inbox cleaner. Pros I love that our website is now super fast also that we get automatic protection against stupid bot attacks. It’s also a quiet runner in the background and keeps the glide working without needing a whole lot of hands-on time. Cons Dashboard is confusing if you’re not technical. Some of the settings feel dangerous to touch without fully understanding what they do. Review Source Anamika G. Data Scientist Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Data protection " March 24, 2025 4.0 Experience is quite great because of Cloudflare functionality, services, platform centralized management, and ease of accessing the websites. Pros 1\. It is quite an understanding and smart platform that while using this platform data flow speed and efficiency increase which leads to fast work completion and good performance. 2. Helps us to prevent our data from malicious websites and attacks. 3. The Cloudflare team helps just perfectly in managing setup and at the time of onboard. Cons Due to the lack of cloud technology knowledge, there is little issues in managing and understanding the platform in starting due to complexity but later on it is an essential part now. Review Source JS Joel S. CEO Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "When I needed to cancel service .... " February 13, 2025 1.0 Not so great. See reason for review above. Pros It seemed to work, until I needed to cancel service and then the website was broken. Cons When I needed to cancel service - well good luck with that. There's no obvious way to do it. They run you around. The website doesn't work right (links on the subscription page don't work, 404 error, etc). and it still says I'm going to be billed for another year. Finally I opened a ticket and then another ticket when I didn't get a response. Then I tried contacting them by phone, but they don't want to talk so the automated message told to me to open a support ticket. Chat is useless even if you pose as a sale. Still no human, as you get to fill out a form. So they really just do NOT want to hear from customers at all. And their support form has a million questions making it hard to reach them. For now, I have no recourse but to wait to see if my ticket is addressed, and if not, do a chargeback and fight with them at the banking level. I'm going to see if I can prevent the bank from allowing a charge from them, but the absurdity of feeling like I need to do that is ridiculous. I do not run my company this way. Complete opposite. We answer phones. Review Source DA Daniel A. Founder and CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare always has the silver lining!" July 4, 2025 5.0 Perfect, no complaints. WE use them on all of of our sites. We especially use them as our domain registrar for all the sites. Pros The amazing number of resources and service, even in the free plan! They have all the bases covered to secure your site, and make purr like a cat! Cons Very little, if anything. Multiple thumbs up to a professional and dedicated service provider. Recommend them to anyone and everyone! Review Source Jacob W. Account Executive Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect tool" August 5, 2025 5.0 Pros It runs in the background, and I never need to think about it. No learning curve or bugs and issues. Cons Can't say there's anything I dislike it. I trust it to do its job. Have never had to lift a finger to do extra work here. Review Source PS Paul S. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cloudflare is a win-win" March 5, 2026 4.0 Once you overcome the learning curve, Cloudflare becomes an essential and valuable addition to your online. It not only provides security, but also improves performance. It is a win-win on both fronts. Pros Cloudflare has been a great addition to protect our websites from DDoS attacks, as well as providing performance improvements through global content delivery. Once set up, Cloudflare works seemlessly in the background. The free plans are quite generous, even including SSL. Cons Set up and configuration can be complex, but it is ok once you overcome the learning curve. The enterprise plans can get expensive. Review Source PP Paul P. Head of Engineering Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful and cost effective" July 28, 2025 5.0 Very handy and powerful. Covers most of what you will need, and any support you need is understood well by LLMs. Pros DDoS protection works very well. R2 works just fine as a cheap S3 replacement, and cloudflare workers have been handy for cheap compute (PDF generation in our case). Security Center dashboard gives a good high-level overview of security/config issues to pay attention to. Cons Difficult learning curve for someone new to Cloudflare. Cloudflare workers pricing recently underwent a change potentially resulting in new charges for our existing use case. Review Source DJ David J. Optometrist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "cloudfare review" February 24, 2025 5.0 I believe Cloudfare successfully created a unique product(s) at the time this company first commercialized its products. I suspect that is why it became an industry leader Pros small footprint on local computers. I have confidence in this company as it seems to have knowledgeable staff Cons no negative feedback at the current time Review Source KO Keith O. Owner Computer Hardware Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Its okay if you have alot of time" June 20, 2025 3.0 It was okay. I wasn't happy about the long installation. It comes basic and you have to expand from there. Pros I liked the customer service help, the ease of installation. It took a bit to set up but ran good after. Cons Looong set up, it was tedious because you need to download alot of defenses because its basic and not included. Review Source SD Samantha D. Data Scientist Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best place to host webpages" March 31, 2025 5.0 I deploy and host all my websites on Cloudflare. Whether you have a domain on Cloudflare or other providers, it's super easy to integrate your domains to websites (or pages, as called in Cloudflare). Integrates well with GitHub repositories as well. Pros Ease of deployment and integration with domains. Also, we have cheaper domain renewal prices than others. Cons None. The web analytics of pages, however, have room for improvement as it's completely different from stats on Google Analytics too. Review Source vP ville P. Specialist Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cloudflare review" February 22, 2026 4.0 Pros "Set and Forget" Security, Unmatched Global Performance (CDN), The "Death of the VPN" (Zero Trust), Developer-First Ecosystem, Radical Accessibility & Value Cons Support Gap for Non-Enterprise Tiers, Complexity and "Dangerous" Settings, False Positives in Security Rules, Centralization Risks ("The Internet's Single Point of Failure"), Billing and Plan Limitations Review Source JK John K. fseufhkusef Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "totally recommended" May 14, 2025 5.0 Pros After a disastrous experience with our existing DNS provider (Crazy Domains), which, after 6 hours, couldn't even provide any information on when their service would be up and running again, we switched to Cloudflare, and the re-routing was instant. So totally recommended. We advise creating an account with these guys, so if you need to use them in a hurry, everything is all set. Cons Everything's amazing, definitely would give them a five-star review Review Source JS Jelfry S. IT Agent Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "CloudFlare for your web security" March 6, 2025 5.0 I am extremely happy with CloudFlare, we have more security at our page, feels more faster, verification is fast, really easy to use by the way. No complaints at all. Pros The most i like it about CloudFlare is how fast it works. Not to mention how secure and accurate, make the experience for our users smoothly and secure. Cons I haven't find any drawbacks yet. Yes, there is an additional cache, but this doesn't affect at all your website or customers. Review Source VH Vojtěch H. Lead developer Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All-in-One Solution for your websites" November 1, 2024 5.0 I've had a really smooth experience with Cloudflare. In addition to domain registration, they offer many options to make your website safer, faster, and more efficient. It’s everything you could want in one platform. Pros In my opinion, Cloudflare is the best domain registrar out there. You only pay the basic ICANN fee with no additional charges - at least that's what they claim. It's cheaper compared to competition either way. Cons I wish they had a mobile app so I could monitor website stats and other details more easily. However, their website is well-designed, which helps make up for it. Another drawback is that you can't change a domain’s name servers without a paid plan.

Senior Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excelent for protection" February 9, 2025 5.0 I'm solo developer and I protect my clients sites with the Cloudflare. Pros It secure the sites and it has s free version that is enough for basic protection. Cons It is easy to use with included SSL certificates, DDOS protections, bot protections and more. Review Source IH IWAN H. IWAN Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "be aware, the are SCAMMERS" December 27, 2024 1.0 months ago i converted all pro subscriptions to free, this is also neatly indicated in the account that it will change to free on the 27th of the month.... but every month they simply collect and the downgrade is moved one month. And now that I no longer have 1 active domain, they are now charging a pro subscription for 24x dirty dirty.......... Pros Now nothing afterwards, they are scammers Cons Now nothing afterwards, they are scammers Review Source JL Janne L. Finance and Commerce Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It does everything right" November 18, 2024 4.0 It has advanced protection that offers security against cyber attacks, protecting all applications, allowing good performance Pros With the connectivity cloud I can have everything connected to everything for easy access to documents or information from anywhere. Its security is the most reliable because it makes everything flow correctly and with a fairly powerful and fast server that does not have slow loading times Cons In itself, it does everything right and has not failed me at any time since its first day of operation Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Website Security](https://www.capterra.com/website-security-software/)[Cloud Security](https://www.capterra.com/cloud-security-software/)[Network Security](https://www.capterra.com/network-security-software/)
