It does not involve the need for multiple security vendors and is easy to deploy. It also facilitates unmatched DDoS attacks with automated.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
This is a remarkable tool, it is full of efficient functionalities. It facilitates us with free security services such as DNS filtering, basic DDoS protection, and firewall rules. It is adaptable for all scales of the business whether startups or large-scale enterprises can secure their networks. For maximum security of the website, it not only blocks malicious websites but its Remote Browser Isolation reduces them in the cloud.

The missing thing, which I think should be filled up, is the lack of built-in email security. As email is one of the major vectors regarding cyberattacks, Cloudflare is still not providing us any protection against email-driven threats.

It will work in the best way when it perfectly fits with your current security tools. It is suggested to take a start with its basic features and then expand towards advanced ones for better understanding and satisfied results.
