We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Support is good; the product works as advertised. We have a Slack connection with them. So we can basically ask for help, live, engage, and ring when they respond. Very quickly.""Fastly uses configuration versioning, where you can deploy a new version in less than one minute.""Its initial setup process is straightforward.""Compute@Edge features are valuable to me.""The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly.""Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks."

"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."

Cons
"Support is not that great.""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.""The product should provide improved bot detection and management.""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.""The solution's pricing could be better.""Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."

"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
