GW Greg W. IT Support Supervisor Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/14/2021 "Area1 blocks much of the spam that Google doesn't catch" 5/5 What do you like best about Cloudflare One (SASE)? The dashboard is easy to understand and I love that the numbers increase while you're watching. Cool enough to display on a big screen to show that it's working! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudflare One (SASE)? When we do get spam messages and we forward them to the email address that is supposed to add them to the machine learning algorithm, we still get copies of the same email. I wish there was a way to prevent any more from coming immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudflare One (SASE) solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Google Workspace for our email. Google does identify and prevent a lot of spam. Some of the phishing emails are too smart for Google, though. Area1 helps prevent these from getting through. We had a single incident where a phishing email was successful and it cost us a lot more than Area1 does. Definitely a good preventive measure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
