"SEG Defense in Depth"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Excellent, dead simple email security. Stops phishing fast."
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Filters some, but not all, email. Some false positives"
4/5
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Christina Warner of Cloudflare One (SASE)

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!

"Area1 has been great! "
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)?

Uh. this is embarrassing. today one "change direct deposit" scam email landed into our payroll person.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Christina Warner of Cloudflare One (SASE)

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.

"Less phishing in our company!!"
5/5
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 a phish comes through once, they'll update policies asap and you won't see the same phish again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Christina Warner of Cloudflare One (SASE)

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.
