Cloudflare has been an invaluable tool to help reduce the attack profile of the websites I run.
Cloudflare has been an invaluable tool to help reduce the attack profile of the websites I run.
Pros
The fact that it hides the origin IP of websites, and allows page rules to direct traffic, even on the free plan.
Cons
No problems with Cloudflare at all, always use it for my and customer's domains.

Pros
Cloudflare offers robust security features, improves website performance with its global CDN, provides reliable DDoS protection, and offers easy-to-use management tools.
Cons
Cons of Cloudflare include potential service disruptions during configuration, occasional issues with caching, limited customization for advanced users, and dependency on their infrastructure for security and performance.

I was working with Pureweb platform to create a website. Pureweb at the end surprised me with the fact I could not have a secure website and I must go to Clouf#$% to get the SLL going. Which I did and now my website is nonsexist, gone will not load.
No help from either party Purweb Platform and of course CloudF#R$ because you cannot contact CloudF.
Hours and hours gone!!!!!
Do not go near Cloudflare beware
Cons
There are no pros. They have no customer service number, no chat. I needed immediate help and the only number they have to call is sales which I called. The voice mail said if you are being attacked click 1. so I did that and guess what. If you are a client getting attacked, they don't care you go to voicemail. WORST EVERY. This company needs to be shut down!!

I've had nothing but great experiences with Cloudflare generally. 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.

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.

Cloudflare is a poor-mans' dream for Content Delivery Optimization

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.

Overall, CloudFlare is a tools that is critical to the proper functioning at the company: managing our DNS records, securing connection to our websites and generating analytics reports.
Pros
We've been using CloudFlare for more than 5 years and one of the recent features that I absolutely love is to be able to register and renew domain right within the CloudFlare dashboard. We no longer have to deal with the troubles of registering for domains at one location and managing the DNS / transferring to CloudFlare.
Cons
Customer support takes longer for clients in the lower paid tiers. I believe that a great company should provide support within a reasonable time-frame to all customer tiers.

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

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.

Hugely positive and I've never used it to it's full potential.
Pros
I came across cloudflare around 10 years ago following a significant DDOS attack against our business website. Following the attack out hosting company refused to continue hosting our website and we were forced to move. Our new host was happy to have us and recommended cloudflare as an additional layer of protection and I've been using it every since.

The overall experience has been very positive. Protected, supported by a great service, with the options to alter and pivot in real time saves time and money. Cloudflare is a clear first choice.
Pros
From the protection of domains, customizable firewall and caching rules, DDoS protection, and the ability of their support teams to implement better and faster solutions, Cloudflare is in my opinion a top tier choice for any company wanting to better protect their online presence.
Cons
Some options in Cloudflare are defaulted to a lower standard then what is most secure currently.

I use this for my own businesses, as well as employer organization, and would recommend it to my IT friends and colleagues if they also didn't already use it.
Pros
I was blown away on initial use of Cloudflare and their free tier offerings, and has led me to consider further purchases of their services. Their DNS proxy service alone is invaluable, and I would be remiss to not use it.
Cons
I do wish pricing offered more granularity for smaller organizations, as it can be confusing which products are free until you attempt to set up a service offered.

Cloudflare is well-regarded as a comprehensive solution for enhancing website security, performance, and reliability. Also, it's free SSL for beginner's websites.

Cloudflare offers a comprehensive suite of security services, including DDoS protection, web application firewall, bot management, SSL/TLS encryption, etc. These features help to protect websites and applications from a range of threats, including hacking attempts, malware, and phishing scams.Cloudflare's global network of data centres and content delivery network (CDN) can improve website and application performance by reducing latency and delivering content faster. Cloudflare's load balancing and caching features can also help to distribute traffic across multiple servers, improving overall performance and availability.Cloudflare's user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for businesses to set up and manage their security, performance, and reliability services.
Cons
While Cloudflare offers a free tier with basic features, more advanced features and services are expensive. I am concerned about the amount of data Cloudflare collects about my websites, particularly if they handle sensitive or confidential information.
