Amazon CloudFront Reviews & Product Details - Page 11

The best thing I like in Amazone CloudFront is it delivery data from the server to clients is quite fast. Even how many concurrency users at the same time or where are the user's located. This will make your site increase the position of the result from the Google search.

Amazone CloudFront is also very easy to setup. Just a few clicks and your static data is available anywhere in the world.

For the developer, Amazone CloudFront SDK supports a large number of program languages so that you can easy to integration with your application. Moreover, Amazone CloudFont have a large community to help you if you have a trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The think I don't like in Amazone CloudFront is it just work with Amazone S3. So, If you want to use CloudFront, you must upload all your data into S3.

Another thing is it take more time to distributed your data from S3 is quite slow. And to using CloudFront, you also need to know about the other service of AWS Stack, such as IAM or S3, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the integration with AWS s3 and the ease of setup. I also love the ability to have a worldwide presence instantaneously with some simple configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability to restrict the traffic to a specific group of IPs without an extremely high cost is a problem for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudfront allows routing requests to different origins per path, which allowed us to dramatically simplify our infrastructure design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a lot of configuration options, but it would be nice to have a little more control out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy to understand and set up for everyone. Amazon provides enough documentation to help you out. Console is super friendly ui. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can get quite expensive so choose your setting wisely when setting up.q Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The further your customers are from your data the longer the data takes to arrive, making your site appear to be slow. In the current world, customers are spread all over the place, which means that you need to distribute your data to multiple geographic locations in order to give everyone the same speed of access. This is a very costly thing to accomplish when dealing with the physical world, and is still a pain to configure when trying to integrate a random content delivery network with your network. Since CloudFront is an AWS service, it just works with S3 and EC2 perfectly. Along with providing a geographic caching service, CloudFront also lifts even more resources from your EC2 server, allowing you to save more money on processor and memory requirements.

It does take a bit of research to get set-up properly, and even I had to make a few attempts at configuring the service before I had it operational. You will need to set-up S3, CloudFront, Distributions,and a few other things until the service works as imagined, but once it does, it is beyond expectations. I would say this is the hardest AWS service to configure, at least for me it was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seriously simple CDN. We already host everything on AWS so using this was a breeze. We use it to deliver 720p resolution images to about 3M devices each week and it's never given us problems. Setting it up took no time and then it just works like any other asset link. We access them via a chromecast app and it's flawless.

We manage everything in normal S3 buckets so literally the process is identical, we just drop files into the cdn folder in S3 and follow the links. No learning curve for anyone and nothing new to mess up, it's as seemless as it can be! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you accidentally upload a wrong file or need to make changes your assets are immediately cached so you need to upload the edited version under a new name and re-deploy. Not the biggest issue but it would be great if there were a simple way to nuke the cache on the entire CDN but that's just not feasible! Need to just be precise and redeploy new links if a mistake is made. It happens sporadically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Vendor lock-in can be a turn-off to potential buyers. Moving off of CloudFront will require moving storage and routes.

- Requires some knowledge of AWS stack.

- Console interface is clunky and sometimes doesn't work

- Cache lives long at times, and requires some configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
