Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, Microsoft, Akamai and others in CDN."The beneficial feature for the entire AWS community is the presence of edge location servers. These servers are strategically located in multiple locations, allowing efficient content delivery from the nearest server."
"It is an expensive product with valuable features."
"It is stable."
"The AWS environment was very helpful in terms of integration."
"The solution has good security features."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to deliver content to users nearby."
"Feature-wise, I like the solution's signed URL because it provides security for me."
"The tool is highly available and reliable. It helps to access server applications easily. Integrating Amazon CloudFront with other AWS services was very easy, I would rate it eight out of ten."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"The solution can benefit from expanding its data center and server locations to multiple places for smoother content delivery with even lower latency. The latency we experience is sufficient for our needs, and we are doing well. However, if they expand their locations in the future, it could be a positive factor. Its competitors have multiple data and server locations."
"The lack of seamless integration made the setup process more complex and required additional research to manage all the services properly."
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"A lot of caching features must be added to the solution."
"The support must be improved."
"The UI could be more user-friendly."
"They should have more Edge locations so that CloudFront can be used much more. If they can make it a little bit cheaper and better than other networks, we will be able to use it more."
"The solution could be more simplified for new users. It could be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
