Pros Lo que me resulta interesante de Cloudflare es que posee muchas herramentas que me permiten administrar mis sitios web adecuadamente, entre ellas las que mas destacan son la prueba de velocidad, los registros DNS y las Rutas.

The platform significantly improves the dependability and security of my network by offering outstanding security, performance, and scalability. The extensive feature set and helpful support staff all up to a very positive user experience. Pros I enjoyed how simple it was to integrate Cloudflare with pre-existing infrastructure and how many security features it offered. Significant benefits include the platform's scalability and performance enhancements for apps and websites. Cons The initial learning curve could use some work because it might take some time to become proficient with all of Cloudflare's functions. For those who take the time to learn the platform, its depth does, in the end, offer strong capabilities. Review Source JP Josh P.

Regional Sales Manager Supermarkets Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare - a must use" July 24, 2024 5.0 Cloudflare is easy to setup and use, to add a new website is needed just to change the nameservers as all the DNSs are automatically imported. Pros Cloudflare offers a powerful content delivery network and optimizations that really speed up your website and reduce the hosting costs. The firewall is another important feature to secure your website at a low cost. Cons The gap between free and paid plans is high. Review Source BG Ben G. Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great layer of protection with varying price plans" June 14, 2024 4.0 Pros I like that CloudFlare offers very quick and easy protection with its free nameservers and DNS capabilities. It is a great way of adding protection and additional features to your website or network by simply changing your nameservers and receiving free features such as SSL, a firewall, page rules and more. It has offered a great amount of protection even on its free plan and its feature continue to be useful to this very date throughout the 10+ years I have used them. Cons I am not fond of the constant changes to the older features, whilst the newer ones do take a bit of getting used to, it is a little cumbersome when you are trying to perform a simple change that you now have to do differently. The support can also be slightly hit-or-miss as they try to make you increase your plan to receive faster or better support. Review Source LW Lee W. Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare" July 1, 2024 5.0 I use Cloudflare for all my websites and recommend to everybody.

Cons There are no cons, from the free plan to Enterprise it offers some nice features.

Cons there are occasional tech issues but this could just be teething problems with our systems Review Source DB Davide B. Founder - Owner Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent tool with MANY different functions " June 13, 2024 5.0 Great set of tools from a reliable and world leading company, with a great community and a full range of documentation Pros Cloudflare is a bunch of different tools and services, always very easy to deploy and with good and in-depth documentation. The price is awesome for what it does. Many many tools are free with very generous caps. Couldn’t leave without once I got into it, it simply does too much and too well to be looking at alternatives. Cons My only complaint is really minor: there so many menus that it is easy to navigate, but sometimes I tend to get lost and the fact that they are re-organised often or new services are added, sometime it takes a while to remember where a certain switch or option was Review Source Brian M. Owner Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare is Invaluable!!" June 13, 2024 5.0 Cloudflare has been an invaluable tool to help reduce the attack profile of the websites I run.

Can also be quickly dependant of Cloudflare Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Web Developer and SEO Specialist Defense & Space Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Gold Standard of Web Application Firewalls" June 14, 2024 5.0 Overall Cloudflare is great, it sets the industry standard in my opinion which is why it's so popular and widely used. Pros Cloudflare is easy to setup and configure, has great user management and gives great analytical insight to what is happening in your environment. Cons Does require some good technical background around DNS configuration, if you are not comfortable with that then it may feel daunting. Also enterprise pricing isn't very transparent. Review Source Fabrizio M. Ethical Hacking Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cloudflare sinonimo di sicurezza di un sito web " December 24, 2023 5.0 Consiglio vivamente Cloudflare per una sicurezza senza limiti, se si viaggi sui nodi tor blocca l'accesso al sito web, protegge da attacchi ddos, e si consiglio vivamente l'utilizzo di Cloudflare nel propio sito web Pros Uso cloudflare da sempre penso sia il migliore nel mercato c'è la versione free e la versione a pagamento, quella free mi ha colpito notevolmente, per un Webdevolper è importantissimo che un sito web risponda è si apra velocemente in tempi rapidi, Cloudflare promette c'ho, comprime al massimo le immaggini su un sito web e le ottimizza rende le prestazioni di un sito web molto più veloci grazie alle funzioni nel pannello di controllo. Ha vari tool da implementare all'interno del sito web, alcuni veramente utili, ha anche antivirus che controllano in tempo reale tutto il traffico del sito web, ha l'analisi degli utenti e la loro posizione geografica molto dettagliata che dire OTTIMO continuate così vi sceglierei 1000 volte Cons Cloudflare è perfetto in tutto, solo non mi è piaciuto affato l'assistenza clienti, quasi impossibile comunicare con loro, non esiste una chat in tempo reale per interagire con un operatore per risolvere un problema che ti manda in down il sito web, questo lo trovato molto sbagliato, bisogna inserire un'assistenza che ti risponda in tempi brevi, mi sono trovato in difficoltà è ho dovuto imbattermi in forum per cercare la soluzione, aprire un ticket non è la soluzione migliore per un cliente che utlizza Cloudflare, l'elaborazione del ticket impegà del tempo e se il sito presenta problemi è in down necessita di assistenza veloce, spero migliorate in questa parte dell'assistenza Review Source BC Bill C. Map Data Reviewer Government Relations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cloudflare all over the world. Best network utility" June 2, 2024 5.0 Pros Tight and very well secured internet browsing. Cons With these features, cost is higher but I mean, who would'nt pay more for web security? Review Source RC Radek C. board member Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cloudflare - your defense against DDOS" June 10, 2024 3.0 I only can say that this is the easiest solution to prevent your site by geting down by DDOS atacks. Pros It works very automaticly, you dont have to be an expert to use it. But if you need so you awlays can define yur own rules for firewall. Cons My TFB was lowered by 0.5s its prety much, specialy if you want to have hight rank in google speed tests. Review Source CW Christopher W. Creative Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare is " November 25, 2023 4.0 We have used Cloudflare for our company and personal websites for over four years without many issues. They have great features and if you are not tech savvy with the installation of SSL Certs or setting up rules this product can help you a lot. Their support can be a bit hit and miss but you usually get a response within 24 hours. We have seen some of the biggest and best brands in the world use Cloudflare and it’s really good how much you get for the price. Pros Our company uses Cloudflare for all of our websites. Cloudflare acts as a CDN, a firewall and also a performance layer for websites as well as protecting our websites from attacks. They respond to our needs quickly and it's relatively insexpensive Cons The customer support could be a bit better. Switched from [SiteGround](https://www.capterra.com/p/228543/SiteGround/)[Bluehost](https://www.capterra.com/p/229168/Bluehost/) We made the switch as we were increasing our content and number of websites. Cloudflare had the best deal. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Software Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloudflare is a poor-mans' dream for Content Delivery Optimization" July 22, 2023 4.0 Very positive. If you're running a website or web services and you don't have the big bucks to scale with Azure/AWS, then consider these guys. They very seldom let you down. Pros What's not to love about it? It has some of the cheapest and fastest content delivery tools on the planet. It has a free tier if you're just a cheapskate, but the paid tiers are pretty modestly priced among industry competitors. There are basic security filters in place and a few other optimizations for regional support (they have more data centers than most others with less latency). Their DNS/Name services resolve quickly and with fewer disconnects. Cons Support is kind of a chore, just because they have so many customers. I think it's something they're getting better at though. Alternatives considered [Akamai Media Analytics](https://www.capterra.com/p/160270/Akamai-Media-Analytics/) Reason for choosing Cloudflare They were cheaper and easier to get up and running with. Review Source Nadish H. Digital Media Head Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best website security and CDN service" March 5, 2022 5.0 Well it's along story, I found CloudFlare while I was searching for Free CDN service for website. I was analyzing one of my website through GTMetrix and found one recommendation to use CDN. I knew that CDN is a costly service, atleast at costly as my monthly hosting service, so I searched for Free CDN service and luckily found CloudFlare. I explored it on my own and slowly and gradually I got total command on CloudFlare. Now I integrate each of my website's website with CloudFlare in order to hide the nameservers + adding security and preventing from DDoS attacks hence enhancing loading speed and overall performance of my website. Pros Who doesn't love to have something as wonderful as CloudFlare for FREE? To be honest, I'm using CloudFlare since more than 3 years now and still using the free version because it covers all my CDN and website security needs. :) The other thing that I cannot ignore or even miss is the Free SSL by cloudflare for 15 years, isn't it amazing? :) I know that there're other free SSL services available on internet also, but I totally trust on CloudFlare so I always use free SSL by CloudFlare. It's really easy to install and has multiple options for the encryption like flexible, full and full restrict. And at last but not least, how can I forget or ignore the Speed Optimization features of CloudFlare :) The auto minify feature for JavaScript, CSS and HTML can be switched on or off independently so that you can never break your website. And the options like Brotli, Optimized Delivery and Rocket Loader is like cherry on top of the cake. :) Cons Well, nothing. I'm truly satisfied with the results, so there's nothing that I can say that I like least about CloudFlare.
