What do you like best about Edgio?

It's served us fairly well up until this point, pretty reliable as a CDN. Support is friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edgio?

We will now have to write a script using their API to re-encode our videos, a service that they should offer as a part of the product. This has made it very hard for us to upgrade to their HTML5 player, and in the meantime we are dealing with Flash issues. Recently a Flash update was put out that made our videos unplayable for a short while, unacceptable as videos are our main product and how we make money as a business.

The company overall seems outdated and I am worried what that means for us if we continue to use them in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Edgio:

Consider another service. Pricing seems high for the product that they deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Edgio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use them as a CDN for our videos, and we store our videos on their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Edgio?

Limelight is an easy platform to use. It gives you what you would expect for a basic CDN and works just fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edgio?

I didn't like Limelight. Simply put, we paid too much for the benefit it gave us and the amount of traffic we got. When I came to the company I work for now, we were using Limelight to host our training videos. Reality is, for the traffic they receive, we were paying WAY TOO MUCH for the bandwidth and usage. It was difficult to cancel our subscription and I just didn't like the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Edgio:

Look at more mainstream CDN products before you go with Limelight. Especially if you're using a system like Wordpress or a host that recommends a particular CDN, you should look at those products first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
