"Good Performance but paranoid Protection from Cloudflare"
4/5
What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Cloudflare Application Security is quite often "too paranoid", at least on my wordpress sites. The performance is good in general, works but not that easy to set up regarding APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

The security is way too complicated. When I tested, it was often blocking my websites pretending that my website was a "malicious" url, although it was only plugin incompatibility with Wordpress or slows down the server due to scam users detected. The Performance of Cloudflare is good but from my experience not that stable, specially if using old browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zero Trust Made Easy with Cloudflare’s All-in-One Access Control"
4/5
What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Zero Trust and access control are important to me, especially since earlier VPNs used to be a bit slow. It feels better with Cloudfare to have everything in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

Managed WAF and bot-detection rules can occasionally block legitimate traffic, so ongoing tuning and monitoring are still necessary. Also, pricing is something that feels less predictable at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Setup and Reliable for Site Protection"
4/5
What do you like best about Cloudflare Application Security and Performance?

I really appreciate that Cloudflare Application Security and Performance is easy to use and set up. It solved a major issue I had where customers couldn't access or sign up due to traffic being diverted to a sinkhole by a local Internet provider. Cloudflare provided a good workaround for that problem. I mainly use its DNS service, which is quite valuable to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
