“attacks stopped cold!”
Pros
Receiving DDoS attacks used to be normal for me until I discovered Cloudflare. It was a before and after for my company. No more threats, more Cloudflare.
Cons
It could be how expensive it is? Especially for small companies like mine based in Argentina, where dollars are a pain in the pocket.

“lots free no catch”
Pros
The services offered in the free tier are very good. What can we ask more than what they offer already? It's simply very good that they even offer such a complete free version as they do.
Cons
Eventually having a "pay-per-use" plan that we can customize with different options and pay per use. I know business wise that's not easy but it would offer a great flexibility to whoever wants to pay for specific functionalities

“stats that actually help”
Pros
Besides protecting my websites, what I like most about Cloudflare is that it lets me have an analysis of my websites, helping me determine what type of users access them and what the topics of greatest interest are on my pages.
Cons
The disadvantage Cloudflare has is that despite having good security, it doesn't have features that allow you to remove spyware or network intrusions.

“storage good but setup rough”
Pros
Handy for holding the extra data my online business required, that's how it helped.
Cons
It was so confusing, I didn't understand how to use it and the team that implemented it for me managed it so thankfully I didn't have to learn.

“dns defense that holds”
Pros
I’m using cloudflare for 2 years now in using the DNS services to secure my computer and my network in general it’s like using a VPN without using a VPN which helped me to access lots of stuff that wasn’t available in my country of residence. The app has lots of uses for cybersecurity, computer security, network security etc and it’s really good and reliable
Cons
It sometimes bugs or freezes but it’s hard to find an app with all these combined features in one place

“optimizes without breaking anything”
Pros
The best on the market and I've always used Cloudflare. There's the free version and the paid version and the free one impressed me greatly. For a web developer it's very important that a website responds and opens quickly in rapid times and Cloudflare promises that, it compresses images on a website to the max and optimizes them, it makes a website's performance much faster thanks to the functions in the control panel. It has various tools to implement within the website some truly useful, it also has antivirus that checks all the website's traffic in real time, it has user analysis and their geographic location very detailed. What can I say, EXCELLENT, keep it up, I would choose you 1000 times.
Cons
this tool is perfect in everything, the only thing I didn't like at all is the customer support, almost impossible to communicate with them, there's no real-time chat to interact with an operator to solve a problem that brings your website down, I found this very wrong, you need to add support that responds in a short time, I found myself in difficulty and had to go through forums to look for the solution, opening a ticket is not the best solution for a customer who uses Cloudflare, ticket processing takes time and if the site has problems and is down it needs fast support, I hope you improve this part of the support.

“left me hanging in attacks”
Pros
There are no pros. They have no customer service number, no chat. I needed immediate help and the only number they have to call is sales which I called. The voice mail said if you are being attacked click 1. so I did that and guess what. If you are a client getting attacked, they don't care you go to voicemail. WORST EVERY. This company needs to be shut down!!
Cons
Nothing good to say about this software in my opinion

“smooth speed boost”
Pros
Since I started using Cloudflare, my site is a rocket. Plus, my site isn't broken unlike when using other plugins. Many options are free and are not subject to a subscription.
Cons
I didn't find any drawback. Everything is quite simple to use and install. It really does the job. Perhaps it would be good to have more free options like image optimization which is a paid option.

“fastest i've seen”
Pros
I had the chance to test cloudflare's contribution to performance under healthy conditions. I can say that it was legendary service. so that, you'll be surprised that it's free. Reduces page load time by at least half.
Cons
The company must configure the Turnstile service properly. Otherwise, it will constantly issue a verification warning when connecting or exiting the site which of course is not pleasant for normal users or customers.

Our company uses Cloudflare for all of our websites. Cloudflare acts as a CDN, a firewall and also a performance layer for websites as well as protecting our websites from attacks. They respond to our needs quickly and it's relatively insexpensive

The customer support could be a bit better.

“all of my domains managed easily”
Pros
It is very easy to integrate and manage our website with Cloudflare. Also, being able to transfer our domains to CF made the process even easier.
Cons
I didn’t see any negative point. Except that not all packages are free, of course.
