It is well suited for handling predictable surges (100,000 daily requests), defending against volumetric attacks and Quick Setup for new client onboarding with amazing DNS Integration. It is probably less effective or I would say there is scope for improvement against sophisticated multi-vector attacks and direct-to-origin threats bypassing its cloud protection when IPs are exposed.

Usability
No answers on this topic
The setup is straightforward. DNS rerouting and a clear client area wizard protect our 30+ client sites fast considering our small team. The real-time dashboard simplifies monitoring 100,000 daily requests, and 24/7 support resolves issues like rate-limit tweaks. It could be a 10/10 if API dashboard is more intuitive and if reporting could be more granular
