What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?

It delivers network reliability and security at a non-negotiable level, so no questions on that. It automatically filters out harmful sites, thus keeping us safe from any incoming virus. It provides me with a singular view of our apps, traffic, and users, for sure, with the help of its zero-trust dashboard.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The enforcement of user-level policies and authentication is quite easy with this platform. I love that it keeps static versions live for our users when we face problems with our origin server. Sometimes when I have to check the traffic, I do it by using the insights dashboard and, surprisingly, get a real-time view into our whole security posture.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I would love to see enhanced customizations in this tool. Moreover, there is nothing major to dislike in this tool.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It offers an incredible unified platform where you can smoothly manage DNS and caching. Along with this, you get a powerful guardian that simplifies complex network security setups for you.
