Amazon CloudFront Reviews & Product Details - Page 18

Really enjoying using command-line python client, s3cmd to interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tech support would be a big improvement. For example Google apps offers great tech support. For AWS, unless I missed something, the user is totally on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with other AWS services and easy SSL integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found it quite slow. It would often take several minutes for each operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudFront is a fantastically simple CDN solution for the masses. Its built upon the highly reliable and available Amazon S3 and offers lots of the features offered by its competitors. The thing that makes it stand out to me is the static site hosting. This is something that is often overlooked when considering where to host static files, but its incredibly cost effective, can stream video files, can handle custom domain names and doesn't require setting up or managing an EC2 instance.

When it comes to streaming video, its good, but in my opinion Akamai does a better job and is a bit more reliable across devices and platforms. That's not to say CloudFront isn't great at it though and that you won't be successful using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Does CDN very well. Integrates with Heroku. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Purging is troublesome. Hard to diagnose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Control panel, the simplicity of usage. You just upload your files, and they're distributed through CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Invalidation user interface. Should be more in a way, that you're sure what are you exactly invalidating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
