{"quote":"For these companies, CloudFlare is ideal.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Several features that I think are essential are not available in the free and business package.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"If a company like Sony can be taken offline for a week due to an attack, then there is not much that can be done by midsized/startups to prevent these attacks.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Their enterprise-level DDoS mitigation plans are costly but they are cost-effective compared to any on-premises/distributed solutions that can go upwards of high six figures to implement.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"We had to do a lot of digging and back-and-forth with technical support for specific use cases, and it might be helpful to have more screencasts or screenshots for common situations.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I think it would be more helpful to have either user-submitted or Cloudflare-produced documentation, samples, or examples of situations.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"In CloudFlare's case, I need to get an external server, set up the redirection there using Apache or NGINX and put my own SSL certificates there.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"With Incapsula, they simply tell me to point the non-www records to the servers they tell me and they take care of the non-www redirection.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"You need to add extra filtering directly onto your dedicated server to avoid breaches out of CloudFlare cover, or add extra anti-DDOS solutions directly onto your dedicated server.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I would like to not need a separate server for non-www redirection under the CNAME setup option.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Depending on how your network system is built, if your main IP address is seen by attackers, they can easily bypass Cloudflare and directly target your server.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"If you are a target of a network attack, they will handle the traffic, and the load, then mitigate the attack.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"CloudFlare supercharges your website, as your dedicated IP is covered behind their server.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Now, we get the always online page, so the customer hardly notices a problem.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Support has not been very helpful with providing technical details for issues that we have reported over the years.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I think they're ahead of the competition and keep it that way by improving faster than the competition too.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"With CDN loads, sometimes we get an error that the host server is unavailable when the connection between CloudFlare and the server timed out.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I have found CloudFlare's support to be unresponsive at times.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"They're constantly improving their product, releasing new features, partnering with various service providers to offer add-ons.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"CloudFlare is an innovative company and certainly the thought leaders in their industry.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"For DDoS protection and website downtime, it would be nice to have a feature to provide email/SMS alerts that can be implemented like Pingdom and other solutions.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The feature shows a cached version of your live site if your host is offline.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"It seems to work sometimes and not others even with the pro version.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The Always Online feature has room for improvement.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Less 501 and 504 errors would be good too.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"More insight into analytics and threats would be a good place to start improving Cloudflare.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Their CDN features, although good, still lack in speed in comparison to their competitors (e.g. Incapsula, MaxCDN, etc.).","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Interestingly, even their enterprise solution is cheaper than other platforms like Akamai and Amazon CloudFront.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"The tool's pricing is moderate.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"That's where Cloudflare shines for smaller businesses – it's ten times cheaper than Akamai.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"Akamai's minimum billing starts at a couple of thousand dollars.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Cloudflare's biggest plan for initial businesses is $200 per month, and if you're an enterprise, you'll likely exceed that on either AWS or Cloudflare itself.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose Cloudflare or opt for the support.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It aligns well with the value of their solution.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I believe their performance has improved.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I think it would be helpful to have a dedicated account manager to periodically review and address our usage.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"It's cost-effective, but I think they should have a custom pricing model for enterprise customers based on the features you use.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I rate Cloudflare eight out of 10 for overall value.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"There are rivals on the market who provide the same solution at a lesser cost.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I have never needed anything more than free DNS.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"There are no extra costs or fees.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"A free version of the solution is available.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It's a premium model.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I haven't even spent a single cent on it.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It is cheaper than other options.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"They provide more advanced services for a fee.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The pricing is reasonable.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It isn't cheap, but it's totally worth it.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"He's paying $400 a month.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"One of my clients has more than two dozen domains on Cloudflare, so they pay $20 times 20 domains.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"I put all my clients on Cloudflare, so it's around 20 or 30 customers.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It could range from free to $1,500 a month.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I rate the price of Cloudflare DNS five out of ten.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The price of the solution is expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization.","score":9}

{"quote":"There seems to be no official pricelist for enterprise-level customers and it is more of a trial-and-error estimation.","score":8}

{"quote":"Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"We don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I rate the licensing options an eight out of ten.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It's not something that comes at a cheap price.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"For example, to go from 200 to 5000 dollars does not make any sense at all.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"In general, their pricing is fair, but the price scaling is way too steep.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The solution is relatively expensive.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"We don’t have advice, since we mostly rely on their free services such as DNS hosting.","score":"5"}

{"quote":"Sometimes these companies offer very good deals early on and then annual fees increase as the companies become more successful.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"For now, the cost of Cloudflare is very reasonable compared to everything else.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We don't have any issues with the price.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I'm not a heavy CDN user since I don't get much traffic, so I can't speak too much about the value for their CDN.","score":"5"}

{"quote":"Cost for all services I have researched in Cloudflare is straightforward, and they don't include hidden fees.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Some of your customers may not reach your website if you are using SSL with a free plan.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The free plan has SSL support, but it does only support modern web browsers.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"You can also use the free plan, which is almost exactly the same as Pro, just without the SSL support.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Content optimization and delivery is key, and CloudFlare does a great job on providing that.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It includes the core features of CloudFlare which is pretty much enough.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"As far the pricing goes, although it's a bit pricey, it offers great value if you're running your entire business online.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The Pro plan 20$/month is the best solution.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The fact that CloudFlare offers a free solution, which is more than enough if you're running a low-medium traffic is just amazing.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The licensing costs for this solution are on a yearly basis.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It is a yearly based plan.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"You can subscribe to business package if needed.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"We are still using the free version of Cloudflare.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"So far I use free tier and happy with it.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"I would start with the free plan to test or to simply move DNS off your local server to them to free up resources.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"However, major DDoS protection is only provided with their paid plans.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers.","score":"5"}
