What do you like best about Rackspace CDN?

Easy to use interface that allows you to view all your containers and files as well as grab links for the files you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rackspace CDN?

There is no way to move or rename a container. This is very annoying because I may need to rename a container to a different names after it has already been created. I also wish they had an application that my employees could use to browse the CDN and upload files from their desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rackspace CDN:

We purchased the CDN because we were already a Rackspace customer, so I haven't seen other options available today. I would recommend evaluating your options before purchasing a CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rackspace CDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use the CDN to store large files to send to our clients, such as video trainings. We also use the CDN to upload files such as picture and icons used to embed in our support knowledgebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rackspace CDN?

Their REST API is easy to use and implement. In the years they've dropped charging for several type of API calls which has made the service a bit cheaper. Storage prices are cheap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rackspace CDN?

Back when I was still using it was not possible to delete a container that had files/objects in them. There was also no way to organize your files in directories. Instead, you had to name your files something like "my directory/file.txt" and use that to resolve directory structure. This also made it harder to list only a small set of files inside a directory. Maybe this has changed now.

While storage pricing was cheap I did not like the costs for data transferring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rackspace CDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've worked with Rackspace Cloud Files (and before that Mosso Cloud Files) for a while and mainly used them as a backup service. I've written a module in BlitzMax which uses their REST API and with that module I wrote a little GUI app that lets you synchronize a folder on your desktop with your Cloud Files account. I've also maintained the Perl module to interface with Rackspace Cloud Files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rackspace CDN?

First off if you need to talk to someone the support team is amazing. I live in San Antonio and have visited the Headquarters several times and the people are just as great in person. Super fast provisioning without having to talk to someone. The provided SDKs helped us speed up multiple integration's to Rackspace. We have several servers running PHP, Java, and .NET and where able to get them all setup using the provided SDKs with in about 1 week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rackspace CDN?

I don't have anything bad to say. They are a great company and the CDN services work great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rackspace CDN:

If you are unsure about rackspace I would recommend giving them a call. The support team will be able to put you at ease with answers to all of your concerns and questions. I can't express how amazing they are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rackspace CDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed rapid access to large data videos, pictures, and other media. Rackspace helped us achieve this in a smooth and seamless way. The speed of our page loads has increased drastically and has improved user satisfaction. It has also lowered case calls on slow load times and buffer issues in our videos. So not only are the users more satisfied but our support team is pleased to not have to answer as many questions from users. We have plans of increasing our use across multiple other sites that we maintain in the near future. The cost was easily covered by user retention in a more reliable platform.

What do you like best about Rackspace CDN?

The information it delivers back to me. It's not just the fact that it does the work, but it also lets me know where things are being optimized and gives me a better idea of what I need to get done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rackspace CDN?

Sometimes it glitches a bit. Not sure if it's just a personal problem on my end, or something with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rackspace CDN:

If you are looking for a CDN, Rackspace would be the way to go. They've done a lot of work already in other areas, and constantly improve. I imagine they'd do the same with the CDN. And the support is phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rackspace CDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Rackspace CDN?

I didn't work with rackspace too much, but the few clients I worked with them on were both of very varying sizes, and I liked that I got the same level of support for both clients. I always had an onboarding engineer who was there to help guide the client and I through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rackspace CDN?

Since I was doing everything form a consultant point of view I wasn't too hands on in the technical side so I can't say 100% that I know how everything worked, but I didn't hear any complaints from my client so I am of the opinion that there are no long standing issues in terms of performance with rackspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rackspace CDN:

Rackspace shines in its expertise and its support that they provide. Their advisers seem to be specialized in the area that they work in and know all the answers. You're not talking to 1 person the entire time, you have certain advisers for different things. This can sometimes be a headache trying to track down the right person but its ultimately a better business model that makes issues disappear faster, I'm a huge fan.

It was very easy to set up, had no issues when using it. Great support, they're always there when you need it. The dashboard meets your needs, have everything you need in place. The logging is also really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rackspace CDN?

It's a little more expensive in South America, which is the place I had to use it most. They could do more research on local currencies depending on the continent and see that the resources are more limited depending on the place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rackspace CDN:

Rackspace is a known brand and they deliver what you expect from them. I would certainly use it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rackspace CDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed to distribute static files to an open source project with over 2 thousands users/h. It was very effective, and I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rackspace's partnership with Akamai is reassuring. Third-party tools have been helpful in managing our CDN. Good competitive pricing too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rackspace CDN?

Not much. We use both AWS and Rackspace and I have found better documentation and community troubleshooting around AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rackspace CDN solving and how is that benefiting you?

We serve static web assets (css, js, etc) on the CDN. We also use our cdn to distribute authorized static content to clients using signed urls (though I don't believe we have tried to do this via Rackspace yet). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
