At NextDay AI, the combination of traffic protection, flexible security controls, caching, R2 storage and Pages helps us keep services fast and reliable while simplifying parts of our infrastructure. The caching options are especially valuable for reducing unnecessary origin load and improving response times. > > **Cons**: Some of the more advanced configuration can take time to understand, especially when multiple cache rules, security settings and access policies interact. Troubleshooting whether an issue comes from the application, the cache or a Cloudflare rule is not always straightforward, and the dashboard can feel dense when moving beyond the basic setup. > > Overall, Cloudflare has been a dependable part of our stack at NextDay AI. We use it primarily for security and caching, and its broader platform gives us useful options such as R2, Pages and Access when a project needs them. It has helped us improve performance and add protection at the edge without creating a large operational burden. ----- ### "Reliable for the most part" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *April 23, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloudflare is very convenient for dns management. We found it more reliable than Godaddy for our domain names. I appreciate the 'actively being hacked' mode that you can turn on to prevent traffic. > > **Cons**: There was a major cloudflare outage that happened which left us hanging (and all of our customers) for several hours. That's expensive. > > Overall, it's a slick platform. I think that the way to improve it is to extend the reliability (although, I realize it's basically all of the way there already) ----- ### "Reliable platform for DNS, security, and website performance" — 5.0/5 > **Basel** | *June 22, 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Cloudflare is how much it helps with website security, DNS management, and performance in one place. The DNS is fast and easy to manage, and features like proxying, SSL, firewall rules, and basic DDoS protection are very useful. It gives you a lot of control without needing to overcomplicate the setup. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Cloudflare is that some settings can be confusing if you are not familiar with DNS, caching, or security rules. A small change can affect how a website loads, so you do need to understand what you are changing. Some of the more advanced features also take time to learn properly. > > Overall, my experience with Cloudflare has been very good. It is reliable, fast, and useful for managing domains, securing websites, and improving performance. Once everything is configured properly, it gives peace of mind and makes it easier to manage important web services. There is a learning curve, but it is a strong platform and worth using. ----- ### "Cloudflare always has the silver lining\!" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *July 4, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The amazing number of resources and service, even in the free plan\! They have all the bases covered to secure your site, and make purr like a cat\! > > **Cons**: Very little, if anything. Multiple thumbs up to a professional and dedicated service provider. Recommend them to anyone and everyone\! > > Perfect, no complaints. WE use them on all of of our sites. We especially use them as our domain registrar for all the sites. ----- ### "Cloudflare is a must have for any Website\!" — 5.0/5 > **Zachary** | *March 21, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Cloudflare is incredibly easy to set up and that there are plenty of resources online centred around it. It also helps improve website security and increase performance and the website is incredibly easy to navigate even for someone who is new to this. > > **Cons**: I don't have anything I'd say I dislike about Cloudflare. > > My overall experience with Cloudflare has been amazing, I've used it for setting up my website for music production as well as using it for clients' websites and recommending it to clients because of its ease of use and how much it improves their site. ----- Page: 1 / 22\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/155191/cloudflare?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/155191/cloudflare) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
