What differentiates Cloudflare from other similar products?

Cloudflare has the best pricing option for any size of the project and morevoer, you can also use the free versiont to secure the website from DDOS attack without any manual work loads

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like how Cloudflare issues free SSL certificate to the website, one thing about their SSL Certificates, they do auto renew and they are accepted across different browsers. Also building any application and protection rules from Cloudflare is easier where by you can easily block an IP address from accessing the website

What do you dislike most about this product?

Depending on the package you subscribe too, the software support team are very limited for example, if you use the free version, you cannot live chat with the support operator, rather you can easily either access their documentations available or read the guides and hence would take longer to troubleshoot incidents

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend the solution because it is faster and works better with any website technology
