Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Cloudflare WAF
Best for: Teams wanting global protection with little upkeep
It earns its place because the firewall, bot controls and rate limiting all run as one cloud service, so you protect a site by routing its traffic through the network instead of running your own gear. It fits any size, from startups to enterprises. The question to weigh is whether you are comfortable sending all your web traffic through one provider.
