Pros

Cons
"The solution's pricing could be better.""The product should provide improved bot detection and management.""Fastly's customer service area needs improvement.""Support is not that great.""Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned.""It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."

More Fastly Cons →

"Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the technical staff of the solution to get back to our company with a resolution for our problems.""The tool needs to include artificial intelligence and machine learning. It also needs to improve profiling."
