In the last three years we have hosted our enterprise software on Azure, and the only outages we've had have been caused by mistakes or issues at Cloudflare. Azure has been rock solid but our customers don't understand that and assume that we're "just down", which impacts our SLAs.
During the most recent outage a few weeks ago, Azure were available to discuss the issue by phone. I wish I could say the same for Cloudflare.
I would be interested to hear from anybody who knows of a good alternative to Cloudflare. I'm completely fed up with them.
- coder543 6y agoIf you're so happy with Azure, why aren't you using Azure CDN? https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cdn/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cdn/ Obviously, AWS and GCP offer their own CDN systems as well. (CloudFront and Cloud CDN, respectively) There are tons of third party CDNs as well. Unless by "good alternative" you mean that you're on Cloudflare's free plan, and hoping to find someone else who will willingly soak up huge amounts of bandwidth for free? Cloudflare is one of the only services I know of that offers this, but it's hard to complain about a short outage every once in awhile when you're paying nothing or very little. The Cloudflare customers who are paying quite a bit are surely upset.
- simonswords82 6y agoMy head of product is looking at the Azure offerings and how they compare with what we have from Cloudflare as we speak. No we are not using Cloudflare's free plan. I was simply interested to know if anybody else had recommendations for a Cloudflare alternative.
