What is your favorite aspect of this product?

There have been several features from cloud flare that has been my favorite but What astounded us as a company is their multi-cloud feature, which helps to reduce cloud data transfers. This has always been a feature that our organization has desired, and we are grateful that CloudFlare came up with such a brilliant idea to improve work performance.
