I really like Cloudflare's offerings, they are top notch in areas like security, performance and pricing.
What I'm not fond of is company's fixation only with big clients and leaving out a serious effort to bring on the average solo programmers/entrepeneurs (something on which companies like Stripe instead thrived on).
Cloudflare really needs to do more to target small fishes, they are tomorrow mid and big fishes trying to understand how to make small and medium problems trivial leveraging their platforms.
- hughw 3y agoMy experience is the opposite. It's quite easy and cheap to start using CF, starting with free plans for their proxy. We've added other CF services and pay them now, I think, about $25/month. Very accessible.
- da02 3y agoWhich paid CF services do you use?
- AtNightWeCode 3y agoThe opposite. I always add CF to small sites.
- epolanski 3y agoMy main gripe was with all the offerings beyond the trivial Firewall/CDN/storage/lambda use cases.
- AtNightWeCode 3y ago"It is an enterprise feature but not including in your enterprise agreement." "You want to use XYZ? Fine, we include any count of XYZ for free. Next agreement negotiation. 200$ for each instance of XYZ." CF is simply not the service to use for any large site.
- supriyo-biswas 3y agoHere, a pay-as-you-go tier would be helpful. I needed logging to track down a few issues with my website, but logging is apparently a feature for Enterprise only, and requires a recurring four-figure cost. Thus, I switched over to Cloudfront, which lacks in some security features and is insanely expensive past 1 TB, but at least provides features without having to pay a huge amount upfront.
- HumanOstrich 3y agoHmm, what kind(s) of logging were you unable to get without paying for Enterprise?
