Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The speed and usability of the solution are valuable."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to deliver content to users nearby."
"Amazon CloudFront is a stable solution."
"Feature-wise, I like the solution's signed URL because it provides security for me."
"The product provides reduced latency and quicker site refreshes."
"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."
"The distribution aspect of CloudFront and its ability to reduce latency are most beneficial."
"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's super easy to use and integrate with."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
"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 tool must provide regional control."
"The user interface could be improved."
"A lot of caching features must be added to the solution."
"Amazon CloudFront can improve by accurately determining the latency of a non-defined URL that the solution encounters."

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"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."
