What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?
Cloudflare, the primary purpose for which it is used is domain management. Simply pressing the target button on the management screen, only for the hosts you want to accelerate with CDN, is effectively achieved. Also, at the beginning of the introduction, it is configured on the safe side to prevent caching on the HTML side, so security issues are unlikely to occur, mainly if you are operating a CE site. It helps our websites to be faster for users anywhere in the world. If a user uses our website from another country, the page loads faster because the user is accessing the page from a Cloudflare server.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Cloudflare's global CDN network helps keep Internet security in our company. Assisting websites to become more secure, faster, and less prone to cyber-attacks. It can be implemented quickly and easily, making our environment easy to set up and use. It has unique features that allow us to achieve security and speed in managing company domains. In addition to caching, we can also set up protection against SSL, WAF and DDoS attacks to get solid security. The Analytics feature allows us to understand each file format's access and caching status so that it can be easily understood.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There's nothing, in particular, that I'd like to see improved, but it looks like there was a scaling bug a few weeks ago, so I'd like you to be careful.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If your company site is slow, you should try it for now and see what a difference implementing such a powerful platform makes. I was concerned about the transfer amount because I was expecting a temporary access concentration when I published a site with many images. Even so, it could be demonstrated that it reduces the transfer amount and speeds up the display using CloudFlare, positively influencing customers' responses when browsing. Cloudflare has many other benefits in addition to the ones I have listed. For example, Cloudflare protects websites against cyber attacks.

- Helps Innovate
