"website security, content delivery network services, DDoS mitigation, Internet security"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

Cloud-flare is the best website security company , providing free SSL. I liked Railgun service , which ensures that the connection between your origin server and the Cloud-flare network is as fast as possible. For SSL activation you have to wait for 24hrs. Whitelist Cloudflare IP addresses at your origin web server, and Whitelist third-party services your site uses via Cloudflare IP Access rules.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Sometimes i got SSL error . Server unreachable

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using Cloudflare i have tried a lot SSL service, but Cloudflare provide best SSL services which can be easily configure.

"A Bit Confusing But Worth It"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

It adds another layer of security and reliability to my website. When a site is critical to your business, even a little additional safety net lets you sleep better at night.

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

As a non-techie (marketer), the services are confusing. I do as I'm told by my developers, but I'm honestly not sure what each tool we use actually does.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most recently, I started using the CDN product for my blog-based website. Basically, it's supposed to increase site speed and serve content from servers physically nearer the viewer.

Making my web application more secure by web scanning for web app vulnerabilities.

"CloudFlare Review"
What do you like best about Cloudflare?

It helps prevent DDoS Attacks from coming in, allowing the site to not be hit off and have a down time. It is reliable and great to use, since CloudFlare been implemented, our site has been up since we started hosting it. There's also a free version of CloudFlare for smaller companies, which is still as reliable as paid..

What do you dislike about Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is somewhat hard to implement to our website, must change DNS Servers in order to use. Cloudflare modifies the code of your pages, slow down website, block your website and make your website crash.

What problems is Cloudflare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solved DDOS Issues, you can also monitor all your visitors & gather information about them, since many websites using cloudflare get the same IP and same DNS, and since your website finds himself with other websites that aren't as nice as yours .
