Features, flexibility, customisation, now free real SSL for all endpoints without hassle. Pricing. Among all, speed and reliability, many datacenter around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UX is not as nice as say CloudFlare, invalidation is hard to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple interface, really easy to start using it within minutes. The pricing, like all other cloud-based services, is fair as you pay what you actually use - no more, no less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only drawback I saw within my use of CloudFront, was the slow replication speed across regions. But I don't think that's something other CDNs are stronger at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the Cloudfront works well with other parts of the Amazon Web Services platform. This versatility and tight integration make it both easy to use and valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Performance can be lacking dependent on the region you are targeting. Signing up for their service gives you access to a lot of auxiliary services you may not need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One advantage to CloudFront is that your website can get its booster shot within minutes of using. It is incredibly easy. The best part is the interface showing you results, its the best I've seen for a limited budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't found anything I really disliked. The only issue I had was reading the results and some off balance. That could be because I accidentally loaded the wrong file. I read that this is a common issue, the change isn't caught right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use and the price. It's super quick to setup especially if your already using EC2 instances along side it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation is not the greatest. I find using other sites better than Amazon's actual docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the advantage of using cloud front especially if you are using amazon web services, you do not have to look at another service provider only for content delivery network.
Cloud front does most of the things that many big companies does it for you. Also one does not have to go through hassle of contracts and agreement and usage limits.
Cloud front comes with the pay as you go model. You can park the data on s3 like videos, files images and audio and stream it through cloud front.
Many media streaming companies are already using cloudfront in production of the content delivery.
Cloud front comes with encryption options so one does not worry about the security of the media or content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Supports the content which exists only on s3. Non- s3 does not support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
AWS does API better than anyone else, handsdown. It makes it much less complicated than, say, Akamai, which is much more difficult to use via their API. The prices is right too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Invalidations are a bit old school. Fastly is an example of a CDN that had an incredible invalidation system. On the other hand, I like to version my objects, so I don't really use Invalidations all that much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed is far and away better than any other web service distribution software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far it has been the best we have used. Nothing to dislike...Yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cloudfront offers incredible speed on a worldly scale(Cloudfront and S3 are on all major continents). The ability for the user to tweak content settings - both for static and streaming content - allows for unlimited possibilities with regard to content delivery across the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For first-time users, the act of going from S3-based content delivery to CloudFront-based delivery is not trivial; it requires knowledge of AWS methodology and the general understanding of high-volume content delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to integrate with S3, as we use this for many other purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some other cheaper options available now I believe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
