Great Security with Amazing Network Performance.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Cloudflare's Zero Trust service as an alternative to Business VPN services. We wanted to get secure tunneling to connect to our servers without compromising on security and network performance. Cloudflare's Zero Trust is very easy to set up and get started with. It provides secure VPN-like services to secure any device with its 1.1.1.1 apps, and It also provides Warp protocol along with zero trust, so we get great network performance as well. Overall, it fulfills our basic requirements.
Pros
- Great Security with Zero Trust Concept.
- Provides Warp Protocol for faster performance.
- Provides capability to monitor the traffic.
- Is very easy and quick to set up.
Cons
- Cloudflare picks the nearest device location to route the traffic, but It would be great if we could select any particular location.
- Cloudflare enables monitoring for all the connected clients; it would be great if we could monitor any individual client device while keeping some client devices private.
- Sometimes, its DNS is not able to resolve a few project websites; we have to manually purge the cache and even disable the Security to get the work done. So, it would be better if we could manually provide a DNS list or whitelist some websites.
Likelihood to Recommend

Cloudflare's Zero trust matches my criteria for becoming my first choice.
