My overall experience with Cloudflare is very good. Cloudflare really helps us on exposing and securing our applications.

Pros

We are using Cloudflare as loadbalancer and CDN provider. The services that Cloudflare providing is very stable and secure.

Cons

The live customer support process can be enhanced. When the production system is impaired, we need someone to talk to immediately.

Cloudflare has been a reliable tool for boosting website performance and ensuring security. It has helped reduce page load times significantly, and the added protection from DDoS attacks gives peace of mind. However, there is a bit of a learning curve for new users.

Pros

Cloudflare provides excellent security features like DDoS protection and SSL certificates at an affordable price. The CDN is also fantastic for improving load times and reducing server strain, especially for high-traffic websites.

Cons

The dashboard could be more user-friendly for beginners, and sometimes there are too many advanced settings that can be confusing. Additionally, the free plan is limited when it comes to some of the more advanced features.

I like the granularity of Cloudflare Web application firewall to add specific rules to block certain characters, payloads, event listeners, html tags, etc. I used it to create labs on web vulnerabilities topics.

Cons

Sometimes it took more than expected time for mapping the domain with WAF atleast for me.
