Cloudflare works well as security measure that gives peace of mind without needing to work too hard to get it functioning well. It provides great tools to customize the security experience as well. This is all the same for the caching tools as well. They have a lot of built in tools that make using the caching easy right out of the box, but they provide the customization options to get things just right for your site.

Constellix DNS is well suited for people already familiar with DNS Made Easy but want more features. Constellix is especially good for people who need ANAME records

Pros
  • Registrar and DNS services are impeccable, with registrations done at cost and without ADs. DNS services setting standards for speed of resolution.
  • DDOS protection. With their content distribution network to back them they have the bandwidth and tools to be both proactive and reactive to bad actors.
  • WAF - Their Web Application Firewall helps mitigate common site vulnerabilities and has active zero-day protection running for breaking exploits

  • Resiliency, they claim to have very little downtime and so far we haven't experienced any

Cons
  • In some cases, using Cloudflare can actually lead to slower website speeds if the network is congested or if the website's traffic is particularly heavy.
  • Some website owners may find that the level of customization offered by Cloudflare is limited, especially in comparison to other solutions.
  • While Cloudflare is easy to set up and manage, it may be too complex for users who are not familiar with web technologies.

Usability
Everything is extremely concise and all settings apply immediately and take effect globally. There is no reason to explicitly plan/think in terms of individual regions as one would have to traditional cloud offerings (AWS, OCI, Azure). All Cloudflare products integrate seamless as part of a single pipeline that executes from request to response.

Reliability and Availability
In 6+ years of relying on Cloudflare, I think we experienced one or two brief outages that were Cloudflare's fault.

Support Rating
I have only used their support a few times, and most times, they are responsive and able to resolve my issue with a minimal amount of time and effort. However, there was one instance where I simply asked about how to purchase some more resources (redirect rules), and I received some type of automated/AI response that was very unhelpful and gave me no opportunity to escalate to a person.

Return on Investment
  • We have seen reduced usage and downtimes after using Cloudflare for Caching. This has already yielded ROI as minimal downtime ensures consistent user traffic and increases revenue.
  • It can handle significant traffic spikes and shields the website from DDOS attacks. We have prevented a number of DDOS attacks after using Cloudflare and hence we are already seeing an ROI by using it.
  • Some of the integrations with Cloudflare are really painful and we have faced a lot of issues because of not having native integrations to certain 3rd party apps.

Constellix Screenshots

Screenshot of Our query reporting breaks down your usage by day for each of your domains and compares GeoDNS queries to your standard query usage.Screenshot of See which records are being queried the most in real-time! You can also filter historical query data by record type, name, location, or IP version. This tool is excellent for identifying traffic anomalies, like DDoS attacks.Screenshot of We offer a full suite of network monitoring services that we call Sonar. Sonar can be used as a standalone service or in tandem with our DNS services; like our Traffic Steering solution, which combines Real-User Monitoring data with synthetic monitoring metrics to inform traffic steering decisions in real-time.Screenshot of Version Control with Rollback:
Compare and revert the commit history of your domain. Each version contains an account of all record changes and gives you the ability to create historical domain recovery. If you make a mistake you are able to roll back to the previous. You can keep notes that are assigned to each committed change to keep track of your work overtime and compare up to two different commit versions side-by-side.
