Fairly intuitive usage; Many accounts held under one login
No Web or Email hosting but comprehensive secure proxying of outside sites, emails and web sites with extensive rules and security-
In particular 'turnstile' web script security is very easy to integrate and use with any domains registered AT COST through Cloudlfare.
'next tier' optimization of images and content will cost but the fee intro level does a LOT while you familarise with their naming and layout of controls
Oh and great statitics for all web email & DNS proxyingl All easy to readily turn on & off. The Proxying is close to being tranparent!
Even the lowest level of web hosting gets a huge boost trhough CLodflare- there is even a 'site down' caching option though I think this costs.
There is a great 'under attack' option if hit by DOS attack
& CLoudlfare has hit the News oftentimes
for its mitigatin of such attacks. I am a small user (20 domains)
of a vast sytem but it's quite manageable all things considered)
I switched here from Google Domains after they sold off to SquareSpace. a Good Move and easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cloudflare naming of services I find confusing
Zero Trust * R2 * Workers * will take boning-up to understand properly
as representing things in my 'real' world.
UNABLE so far to delegate domain registrations to their respectve owners so they can pay the registration themselves.
I am told there IS a way using the API keys but it looks Complex for me, at any rate, so I just pass the costs along.
There is SOME Delegation possible for different features but the terminology and purpose will take a lot of trial and error (IE creating the 'delegated' Log In in another Browser to see what it's allowed to do!)
Obviouly CloudFlare is meant for major enterprises with plenty of to me confusing settings- I have stuck to the basics at no cost beyond name registration and a few services, and am quite happy.
If I even get a six digit Web/Security contract?
This is where I will go : ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of deployment, dashboard and configurations for the WAF, Cache, and other features are top tier with ease, settings, and logging. Just don't have an issue with them or you're on your own. Also, don't keep a credit card on file or they'll bill you for their mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customer support and billing. Their support does not read what you have to say but rather comes in with their own interpretation of what has happened and forces their views on your issue rather than trying to understand exactly what is happening. On two occassions in the last few months I have had this happen when I encountered an issue with the core product and their billing.
The billing should be detailed further as it is sketchy business practices. Back in April they changed their billing software and charged me incorrectly for a month as it included the previous month as well (which I already paid). I brought this to their attention and the billing support assured me that it was not a problem. Come last week, they limited my account as I "had unpaid biling" so I contacted them again and brought attention to this wrong invoice that they never corrected. Come yesterday, they just charged my credit card on file without my authorization or explanination of what is going on. I've replied to the open ticket and created a new ticket and no one is answering.
I don't want to be a drama case but this is ridiculous to have been charged something from months ago and not be given an explanation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In general, cloudflare is really easy to navigate, especially for simple DNS and domain management. Unless you have a complicated setup, I find it easy enough to move a domain or simply manage DNS for most sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their support is terrible. Had an issue with a client's DNS and the person I was talking to clearly didn't have a clue what they were talking about. They took so long between answers, it seemed like they were just asking someone else. Ultimately, they were of no help and we were out the money we paid to have live support.

The combination of capabilities that optimize performance and offer complete security against cyber attacks is what makes Cloudflare Application Security and Performance so appealing to me. The platform is quite good at protecting apps and improving performance and dependability, which makes for a smooth and safe user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve for some of Cloudflare's more advanced functions is one area that needs improvement. Even though the platform has a lot of features, it could take some time and effort to become completely familiar with them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
