A fairly unrelated point, but its so strange how companies that underpin a lot of the internet struggle in the stock market. While we all wish we had sold our tech stocks in 2021, Cloudflare still hasn't recovered.
Magic Transit (bring your own ASN), classic website DDoS protection (above the Business $200 tier, which has low, undisclosed data limits in regions like New Zealand) and ilk all require interacting with the sales rep, and unless your paying 5 figures a month they are disinterested.
There is a whole market out there between $300 to $2000 a month that Cloudflare could tap without making new infrastructure but is actively being ignored.
They lock a lot of features behind an Enterprise plan where they could allow them to be added to a lower plan.
In general, I just hate working with sales reps and would rather avoid a company altogether if I can’t sign up without talking to them.
Can you please explain what this means?
Wanted to byt their SASE DLP & Remote Browser Isolation as a startup. Sales wouldn't even talk to us
