Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have integrated the tool with Active Directory. The most important feature is that it's transparent and doesn't degrade the performance of our solution. Additionally, it's easy to configure, which is crucial for us. It's easy to use and set up and stops attacks on our servers. We haven't encountered any attack problems because the solution stops them in real-time. AWS Shield specifically focuses on defending against denial-of-service attacks, making it a great solution for that type of threat.""It is integrated with AWS. So, it gives you a good first step.""I am impressed with the product's multiple features like security.""The product has a good mechanism to analyze trends and trigger events.""The solution's ease of use is the most valuable feature."

"It has helped improve load speed on the site.""It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources.""It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel.""​Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters.""I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia).""The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."

Cons
"The product should give users more flexibility to customize their security policies according to their requirements.""The product needs to improve its logs and reports to make it read better.""The management of it is a bit hard. If you don't engineer it on the front side, it is hard to go back in and change it. It could be improved in terms of architecture requirements and then ongoing support requirements as a secondary component to it. People tend to set up things like this, and they just expect it to work without the care and feeding that needs to go back into it either from an application team or a network environment team.""The product is expensive.""We end up having to pay extra for features that AWS adds that we don't need."

More AWS Shield Cons →

"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content.""If you are a low-use user and not used the minimum credit, it will be lost at end of year unless you upgrade, then you are left with more bandwidth than you can ever use."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It depends on your subscription level and the volume that you're spending with AWS. So, it is very relative to the consumption alignment in your subscription level. It is a well-constructed, scalable pricing option, but it is relative to how much you're spending on AWS. Because the more you spend, typically, the more you get off on services like this. I find it to be comparable to other solutions."
  • "The cost depends on traffic each month, so on average, it costs us between US$200 and US$300 per month."
  • "We pay $3000 per month for the solution."
  • "The tool's pricing is good."

  • "For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."
  • "I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."
  • "Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others. I suggest a lower recharge level and also to remove the credit expiry time​."
