We use CloudFront in some of our e-commerce sites to speed up content loading, and the service is exceptional. The web serves resources much faster, in addition to having an extra layer of security, ideal for e-commerce sites like ours. The prices are very favorable, and if you have more AWS services, its integration is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The implementation has a low-moderate degree of complexity and there is not much information about it, however, if you have more AWS services, its configuration can be very easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So, the ability to USE AWS is charming, cuz' I use it already to host some files. And the speed is fast using AWS and S3. I trust the Amazon servers quite a bit so that is the good side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides... Wow... This was a BIT too much to handle to be fair. When it comes to CDS, Like Cloudflare... Granted they host images and files that can be viewed and loaded from a webpage without taking up to much server resource. But, with Cloudfront, the initial setup is more than daunting. It is near impossible. Firstly, to even use Cloudfront to act as a CDN, we need to upload to AWS, and S3. This is not really advertised clearly at all. So we use S3 AND Cloudfront. When we are in Cloudfront, it is blatantly obvious that it is written by "geeks" and not for the common man. But more for a coder. So Using it as a CDN is more or less useless, unless you LOVE code. I consider myself technical, but I am not a coder. After mucking about for quite some time, 1-2 hours, I gave up and started to look at Google for tutorials, and there was little to find that was super clear and to the point in an abc fashion. One post I found, had a tutorial, which I will still look up and test, and this person, spent 5-6 HOURS to get it to work. He stated "Please use this, as I spent 5-6 hours to get it to work." More or less verbatim. And I believe him. So, while the notion of using AWS and Amazon S3 to host could be great, using CDN with Cloudfront, turns out to be more of a hassle than fun. I would urge people to steer away from that, unless they are really, coders by trade. Maybe even they will have challenges. That is how it is set up. Little info, little abc tutorials, technical jargons rule the platform. So, yeah, want it, but hard to get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed - Deliver content with lightning-fast latency, no matter where your users are.

Reduce origin loads and speed up delivery.

Price -The pay-as-you-go price model makes it economical for the early-age startup

Geo-targeting - One of the best features I use in the production is targeting the audience based on the location.

Reliability - As an AWS product, there is no need to think about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Understanding AWS pricing can feel like a chore, almost an unfair burden.

Can not create Distributions without SSL.

It's easy to use, but it is too complex for a beginner to configure the distribution for the best performance with comprehensive pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Cloudfront scales well and has edge locations in all parts of the world. It provides fast invalidations and is a good tool for hosting static content over the web. We used it in a multitenant application alongside ACM to generate & host lots of domains on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using AWS Cloudfront on production projects and haven't had any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudfront is the first CDN wr used, and we never felt the need to switch back over to any other provider. Cost is naturally one of the main considerations when using cdns on sites with heavy traffic, lots of hits/access etc and Amazon Cloudfront is by far one of the most affordable solutions out there.

Other things I loved - the Lightsail version of Cloudfront (same as CF, but a super easy interface) is one of the easiest to use and set up and works just as efficiently as regular CF.

Their ability to serve protected downloads via their system (through private keys on one's server) is another superlative feature - integrated with many an other software solution which just increases the robustness of the service.

Cannot say enough good things about Cloudfront! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their interface is complex to use (regular CF, not Lightsail) - they could make that easier to use for non technically inclined folks. Their documentation is pretty extensive tho, so I'm not really sure if that's a "negative" but it's by far the only one I can think of - if at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
