Great tool to prevent phishing and BEC **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan D. | IT & Data, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Having Area-1 in place allows me to spend less time worrying about end users being "tricked" by phishing and more time looking into the big picture. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** It takes a little bit of effort on the front end to prevent false positives, but once you get it tuned it is like magic. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest problem that Area-1 solves for me is Business Email Compromise, that is when malicious actors are spoofing our C-level employees and making email requests appear to come from them. While we do regular training so that employees know how to spot such an email it is even better when you know you have a tool that prevents it in the first place. **Official Response from Christina Warner:** > Hi Ryan, Thank you so much for the great review and feedback! We are so happy to be able to help solve Business Email Compromise and to prevent phishing from reaching your inboxes. Thank you again for your feedback! ### 2.

So far, every issue we've had was tracked, identified, resolved, or explained with minimal difficulty and time. The interface is intuitive and the support team is helpful when needed. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** What I dislike about Area 1 is that there is not eml upload within the interface. For spam learning, we have to send an email with eml attachment to be reviewed. On a scale of 1 to 10 of how big of a deal this is, with 1 being lowest, this is a 3. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Area 1 Security is helping us solve the problem of email phishing, threat analysis, and overall email security. **Official Response from Christina Warner:** > We’re so happy to hear you had a great experience at Area 1 Security.

The multi-tenant portal is also extremely helpful. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** It would be nice if I could see the GSuite/O365 quarantine from the console.

I have been working with them for a couple years now and the capabilities and ease of use has gotten better as time goes on. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have seen a drastic decrease in malicious/spam/spoof emails actually making it to a user's inbox.

Area 1 Security Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jennifer G. | Chief Operating Officer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2020 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Before implementing, we were investigating phishing incidents between 1 and 3 times per week. After implementing, the number of incidents has been reduced to about 1 per month. We've seen a significant improvement. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** I know Area 1 is working on it, but I would like to be able to run more thorough investigations within the platform like pulling email headers and being able to see delivered email as it relates to blocked email. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** If you're struggling with phishing and BEC in your organization, whether you're using native tools or another specialized product, give this a try. They're great to work with, and their product is priced very competitively.

Awesome team to work with **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David S. | Implementations Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** By far the best thing is being able to closely work with the team, they have very talented people and its always a pleasure to work with them, communication is never an issue. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Some features were lacking a few months ago but that's being solved as the time passes. Some could use more polishing but that's the same thing, with time and the right feedback all this should be solved in the near future. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** To give it a fair try and to make sure they communicate their needs and want to the area 1 team so they can best help them ensure this is the right technology for them **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Besides the detections around phishing & other malicious activities, one feature that might not be the selling point but its still really useful is the ability to cache the emails if the main provider goes down, that way you don't lose that traffic. Defanging urls & being able to add a message to the body of the email to ensure proper communications with users is also really nice to have. For the MSSP side, multi tenant which was added a few months back was and is super helpful and we are glad it was added this fast and that we were able to be amongst the first to try the feature. And the most recent one, being able to set up new tenants from the console allows us super fast deployments or setups for new POVs **Official Response from Christina Warner:** > Hi David!

SEG Defense in Depth **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2020 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Initial setup was extremely easy for us as it required very little changes to mail flow. We are leveraging Area1 in BCC mode, so all we had to do was configure our SEG to forward copies of external emails to an Area1 mailbox and we were set. There are additional features/capabilities from the portal that we are still working through (i.e. SSO for user logins) or that we have yet to explore (SIEM integration), but everything else was setup within an hour, which was great. Also, Area 1 is pretty much set and forget for us, so it doesn't add a lot of overhead from an administration standpoint. The email analysis results are also within minutes which allows us to quickly take action on any delivered phishing emails. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** We've spent a couple months trying to setup Single Sign On (SSO) for user logins to the platform, and have still not figured it out. It's been a little frustrating. While the platform is fairly intuitive and self explanatory, Area1 does not have much to offer documentation-wise. I have not seen an Admin Guide, SSO setup guide, or other than would be helpful to keep or share with colleagues as a reference. It would also be great if we could specify which type of alerts each webhook is able to receive. For example, if we're only interested in Malicious email notifications, it would be great if we could set it to such rather than using a mailbox rule to filter all the notifications for us. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** Area1 offers various deployment modes, make sure you understand each well and choose the one that is right for your environment. Also, if Single Sign On (SSO) is an important feature for you, validate that Area1 supports your identity provider. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Area 1 has been a great addition to our phishing defense-in-depth controls. Area 1's solution currently sits behind our SEG and is set in BCC mode. It's purpose is to provide a second level of analysis and verification on any emails that were not filtered by our SEG. Through the use of alert webhooks, Area 1 has helped us gain visibility into the delivery of phishing emails that we might have otherwise been unaware of and more quickly remove those emails from user mailboxes. Additionally, Area1 has been able to highlight and allowed us to fix various misconfigurations in our SEG's filtering policies. Due to it's placement behind our SEG, we are able to use Area1 as a third party validation/health check of our SEG's security configuration. ### 36. Excellent, dead simple email security. Stops phishing fast. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2020 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** It just works. Implementation is so straightforward. They don't try to do too much or overburden with lots of rule sets. Best of all, bad inbound mail is drastically reduced and suspicious mail is appropriately marked up and/or defanged. Support is super responsive and helpful. They've reached out proactively when they noticed mail issues completely unrelated to their service that were impacting us. Super helpful. They are a partner, not just a vendor. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Hard to think of much. The dashboards and metrics on the platform are high level and could always use more fleshing out for investigative purposes. The newer search functionality is helping in that regard. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** It's so simple. Don't over-analyze, just put it in place as a trial and see for yourself. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Stopping phishing from reaching personnel. It's great. The BEC functionality even gets the last 0.0x% of what's not being blocked. It's pretty terrific. ### 37. Filters some, but not all, email. Some false positives **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Great customer support -- fast & knowledgeable. They make a good product and are working to improve it further. They can help tune their product implementation in 1-1 technical calls **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Some false positives and some false negatives. This is inevitable in a phishing filter. If it were possible, I'd love to see metrics on false positives, false negatives, and a competitive benchmark. It would also be nice to have an admin portal where I could self-report false positives & false negatives **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** Do you have any idea how many phishing emails your organization gets currently? You should know that to pick a pricing model. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were deluged by phishing emails. Area 1 catches many of them. **Official Response from Christina Warner:** > Thank you for sharing your feedback about our service. We're glad to hear that our products performance exceed your expectations! I'll make sure to share your feedback on metrics and competitive benchmarks with our team. It's a great suggestion! Thank you again. Have a great day! ### 38. Area1 has been great! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Really ups the signal to noise ratio. Frees us to dig on real problems and ignore crap. Feed back from our users to Area1 systems could be smoother. Really wish that was a thing, but absolutely best part is how much more effective our team is at id'ing threats. Targeting them in mass and flagging issues before they hit a users inbox. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Uh. this is embarrassing. today one "change direct deposit" scam email landed into our payroll person.. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** I wish Area1 would do protections on personal accounts. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nation State threat actors targeting our team. The absolutely best part is how much more effective our team is at id'ing threats. **Official Response from Christina Warner:** > Thank you for your incredible review. Our team enjoys doing what they do because of customers like you. We hear you and we'll bring back your recommendations. We are making incredible enhancements and product innovations in this area. Stay tuned for product launch and enhancement announcements! Thank you. ### 39. Less phishing in our company!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rusmin A. | Systems Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** The best is simple. We are seeing less and less phish in our mailboxes. Support is really good at responding and updating their policies when new phish come out. So if i phish comes through once, they'll updated policies asap and you won't see the same phish again. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Hmm, trying to think. There is nothing specific I dislike. It does its job. Wish I can think of anything but what we use it for is simple and does the job. It stops phish and lowers the amount we get. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** If you get phishing emails in your company, I would definitely recommend giving area1 a try. They have proved to me that they can catch some of the most toughest phish out there. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lowered the chances of our users accidentally replying to phish and scammers. **Official Response from Christina Warner:** > Hi Rusmin! It makes our day to hear that we've exceeded your expectations.We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Area 1 Security. On behalf of our entire team, thank you for allowing us to serve you. ### 40. Effective detections, with little supporting information **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2020 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** We consistently see Area1 catch malicious emails that our other security solutions overlook. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Many times the emails will trigger signatures that don't clearly convey the threat. I've not seen a concise knowledge base or guide to what some of these signatures mean. Providing some additional context can help us better bolster our defenses and determine why other layers may miss these messages. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Second layer of defense behind ProofPoint. ### 41. Easy Setup, Easy Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2020 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** It was incredibly easy to integrate Area 1 into our gmail setup. It took me only 10 minutes to connect to our email server using GoDaddy. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Can't complain, has overall been a great experience. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** I highly recommend the product to anyone looking for phishing protection. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have had no issues using Area 1. **Official Response from Christina Warner:** > Hi Tim, thank you so much for sharing this!

Total Phishing Protection You Can Trust **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Semiconductors | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Area 1 Security has been protecting our organization for almost 2 years now. As our security team has grown, Area 1 has been our partner. They assist us in integrations with new tools, as well as keeping us abreast of any new features they come up with. Their phishing protection is all-encompassing and the reporting for these events are very detailed. It truly is a "set it and forget it" tool. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Area 1 has only had a few service interruptions or incidents occur that had little to no impact on our service. No complaints here. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** This product is very easy to use and setup. My only recommendation would be to do your best to leverage their threat intelligence in your other tools to ensure that you are getting the most out of this partnership. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Protections against phishing attacks, which is the number one threat vector nowadays.

Your review made our day! Our whole team works very hard to create the best products and customer service, and we can only do it thanks to amazing customers like you. Thanks again! ### 43. Great email security solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bjoern Z. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Area 1 was easy to setup and provides strong anti phishing protection.

Employees are not just protect from phishing but also leadership impersonation emails. ### 44. Low Risk High Reward **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Their pay per phish cost model turns implementation into low risk. We installed it behind our existing spam/phish filter with the understanding it would only catch what the other systems missed. Since there is no long term lock in, it allowed us to test out this new service with very little risk. We negotiated an acceptable maximum yearly cost to the service and have so far found that the overall blocking rate is worth the additional cost of the service. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** It doesn't catch everything, but we have seen significant improvements over the past 6 months of usage. There are a few configurations to be aware of before you start to benefit from the service, however their support team will walk you through all these considerations to ensure the service is working at its peak performance. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** The system uses tags or flags on incoming messages. Make sure you configure your transport rules to action the message based on these tags so messages do not show up in the user's inbox. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Area 1 Security to significantly reduce the amount of phish/spam emails to the users. This saves them time spent dealing with unwanted emails and reduces the overall chance that a user becomes compromised due to malicious emails. **Official Response from Ilanit Rimon:** > Thank you very much for sharing your experience! ### 45. Up and coming in the phishing and BEC protection space. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Area 1 does a great job and understanding the difference between phishing and BEC use cases and breaking them out and filtering them from user interaction. The granular reporting capabilities of the data via the API are also well done. The customer service of the Area 1 team is first rate and you can always get them on the line to help with issues of any kind. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** As with any newer offering and organization there are a number of opportunities to improve that will likely come with time. Improvement of the overall detection capabilities will come with time and data gathered. Improvement of the portal to allow an end to end reporting experience without need for API usage also will require some improvement. This will allow operations teams to offload some of the reporting requirements to less technical functions. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** Area 1 is a great cloud-based option for phishing and BEC protection. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have realized great cost to benefit ratio of the solution. The pay-per-phish model is innovative and a great way to scale an organizations usage of a product in a way that makes the most sense for that specific organizations goals and objectives with the program. **Official Response from Ilanit Rimon:** > We appreciate your feedback! We have recently introduced improvements in both the Machine Learning modules and the Portal Reporting. Please contact us directly at support@area1security.com for additional information -- we would love to share the details! ### 46. Extremely responsive team during setup, great experience over the first six months **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael S. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Minimal to no phishing emails received and a very non-intrusive system (especially for a non-IT person like myself)/ **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** The downside was the manual nature of the set up, but it was very easy for me with support from the Area 1 Security team. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** I highly recommend others give Area 1 serious consideration to solve their business challenges. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have one less worry to contend with as I get my startup business off the ground.

This is highly appreciated! ### 47. Simple and effective - Constantly improving **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Extremely simple to set up and use. Unlike other email security solutions that we evaluated, Area1 does not require constant configuration and tuning on our end. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Still see some phishing emails undetected by Area1. A few of these definitely look like they should have been caught. Some of the trickier phishing emails usually evade detection. For example, phishing emails with a link to a malicious document hosted on a legitimate service such as DropBox aren't often flagged. However, I do see a steady improvement over time. **Recommendations to others considering Cloudflare One (SASE):** Test Area1 thoroughly and make note of what types of phishing emails often are not detected by Area1. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We on boarded Area1 to block reduce our risk related to phishing emails.

Area 1 has done a fantastic job at blocking phishes, malware, and other malicious emails. When something new is found, they adjust quickly and I never even see the messages. Their support team is very responsive and helpful too. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Can't say I really dislike anything about Area1 **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were getting hit with a lot of phishes that O365 just wasn't pickup up on. Area 1 has dramatically reduced the amount of malicious emails that get through.

Stops Phishes in their tracks **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bob F. | Advisor, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** I went to Area 1 after I was phished a few years ago.

Excellent Service **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2019 **What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** The thing I like most about Area 1 Security is that they help you understand exactly what kind of threats are looming out there in the world that are being used by hackers, so you can educate your team on current and real time threats to watch out for. **What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?** Sometimes it is confusing to the untrained user to understand just what kind of threats have been intercepted. I would like more thorough and detailed explanations about HOW a certain email or threat was developed and where it originated from. This would help me understand what sites I need to ensure my team are staying away from. **What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has definitely helped clean up the mailboxes of everyone here in the office and ensures that nobody clicks on a link or an email that has been corrupted. **Official Response from Ilanit Rimon:** > Thank you for the very kind words!
