It protects your websites and is pricey

What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?
Cloudflare has more features that are more useful to any website and they do not charge per feature but per month, However, the subscription type determines how many features you can use. What makes it more unique is its straightforward integration with websites by just adding their nameservers and in a short time, the website gets protected.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like the pricing of the software, it has both free version and paid plans so it depends on your goal and why you need the tool, secondly, the software customer team are always available for any technical question. I like also the security measures where it blocks traffic from robots and hence giving our business pure human traffic and blocks the bots from accessing our data
What do you dislike most about this product?
Integrating the website with Cloudflare means the website will initially load from the resources of Cloudflare and this makes the website to load slowly since it will have to first verify the browser and the security of the internet that a user is connected too and hence making the website to load a bit slower
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend Cloudflare because it is safe and does not ready any website files or having any access to website files but rather communicates with your host to deliver optimized security.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Caring
- Saves Time
