Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Pages and Workers are both useful products that encourage good project architecture. The DNS product doesn't do anything special other than CNAME flattening. The proxy product seems somewhat useful but it is hard to judge its effectiveness.
  • Great service to offer protection to my website. It was easy to set up and complete. Offered me protection that I did not know I needed and made my website load faster.
  • Cloudflare has allowed us to have a control of cyber threats in our domain and allows us to perform daily scans automatically or manually. It also offers detailed reports through metrics of how much is the user traffic within the page and predictive results in case it detects vulnerabilities.
  • It is very useful as this application generates detailed reports of the traffic generated by our domains, so we determine how many users access and what is their main interest within the page. Similarly, it complies with a report management and control of web threats.
  • Using Cloudflare it is possible to greatly optimize the performance, or at best the quality of performance that internet connections have, because it works as a system that balances web loads so that they deliver specific content. In addition, it is a perfect filter against all kinds of threats to our network.
  • With the configuration tools that Cloudflare includes it is not difficult to improve the level of our websites, as it allows us to opt for features such as two-step authentication, and at the same time creates routine reports with the content of the pages that have been visited within the local network, which helps to delimit threat problems from their origin.
  • With Cloudflare, you can protect websites form several attacks including DDoS and bots. Free to use platform. Cloudflare helps to reduce server bandwidth. Simple to change nameserver.
  • It's very easy to deploy and implement. Protects website from DDoS attack. Optimizes the overall website. Reduces the loading time. Protection plan for many other security threats. It prevents hacking attempts.
  • Website optimization. Caching for better speed and availability in downtime. Security layer by providing DDoS protection and SSL certificates. Available for free.
  • Cloudflare is world class CDN and front line defense of our website, The integration process is super easy and quick. The features includes - 1. DDoS Attack mitigation 2. Global CDN with Servers in more than 95 countries. 3. Set up and forget 4. Traffic load balancing

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Worked very well day of the actual event. No issues leveraging it as a waiting room for customers at all.
  • Handling high volumes of website traffic while ensuring optimal server performance and preventing overload.
  • It’s simple, reliable, and did exactly what we needed during several major event launches. Our site caps around 1,000 concurrent users, and CrowdHandler handled everything above that limit smoothly. Setup through Cloudflare Edge Workers was quick, and support from Jake and his team was excellent. The custom waiting room template integrated cleanly into our site and gave users a smooth queue experience during peak demand.
  • This waiting room is one of the most affordable options on the market. It works well, is easy to integrate even with Cloudflare (thanks to the tutorials available on their website), and is quite intuitive. What really makes me give it 5 stars, though, is the support. The team is incredibly helpful, open to feedback, and always ready to assist in the best possible way.
  • Super easy to use, reasonable pricing. We like that there is a feature to customize the waiting room

Cons

  • Didn't have an issues with the product, no major cons here.
  • A bit expensive but working very well overall, I recommend
  • I wish their Standard plan tier included IP whitelisting. It would make it easier to exclude internal staff and partners from the queue during testing and launch monitoring.
  • Some features could be improved or expanded to make the service even more complete.
  • No cons, the system is very easy to use, highly recommend

Cloudflare is a serverless AI platform that empowers developers to build, deploy, and scale intelligent applications on its global network. It enables instant access to GPU-powered inference for models like Llama-2, Whisper, and ResNet-50—without setup or infrastructure management. Developers can use Cloudflare’s APIs to perform text generation, speech recognition, image classification, and translation directly at the edge. Its Vectorize database allows storing and searching embeddings for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and semantic search. With AI Gateway for caching, analytics, and cost control, and R2 storage offering egress-free data access, Cloudflare makes AI workloads both scalable and affordable. It’s the fastest, simplest way to deliver production-ready AI applications worldwide.

Cloudflare AI Gateway is a centralized control and monitoring layer for AI applications, designed to help organizations manage cost, performance, and reliability across multiple AI providers. It connects to your AI services with a single line of code, enabling unified visibility into usage, tokens, and error rates. By providing real-time observability, caching, and rate limiting, it helps prevent runaway expenses while maintaining consistent application performance. AI Gateway integrates seamlessly with OpenAI, Hugging Face, Anthropic, and Workers AI, giving teams full control over how their apps interact with different models. Logs and analytics simplify auditing, troubleshooting, and optimization, ensuring accountability across AI workloads. With Cloudflare AI Gateway, developers can make AI applications more efficient, predictable, and scalable.

Integration with R2 storage supports multi-cloud training and hosting with no egress fees, keeping budgets predictable. Developers can spin up full-stack AI workflows within minutes using prebuilt templates for RAG, translation, or multimodal applications.

CDN

Cloudflare Registrar is an at-cost domain registration service that lets users register, transfer, and manage domains without hidden fees or inflated renewals.

Integrated directly with Cloudflare’s DNS, CDN, and SSL infrastructure, it ensures enterprise-grade performance and security for every domain. With support for over 390 top-level domains (TLDs), including .com, .net, and .org, Cloudflare Registrar provides broad compatibility and flexibility. Users can easily activate free DNSSEC for protection against on-path attacks and domain hijacking. Designed for transparency and reliability, it gives businesses complete control and peace of mind when managing their online presence.

Cloudflare R2 is a high-performance object storage platform designed to eliminate the hidden costs of traditional cloud providers. Unlike Amazon S3, R2 offers zero egress fees, making data retrieval and transfer completely free regardless of scale. Its generous free tier gives users millions of monthly requests and 10 GB of free storage, ideal for startups, developers, and enterprises alike. R2 integrates seamlessly with existing tools through its S3-compatible API, allowing effortless migration and compatibility.
