Provides good technical support services, but it could be integrated with multiple load balancers

"The product’s most valuable feature is the availability of the websites."

"The product could support any network load balancer. At present, we can use only Amazon’s load balancer application."

What is our primary use case?

We use Amazon CloudFront to host web services. It helps us protect websites and provides an easy deployment for AWS WAF.

What is most valuable?

The product’s most valuable feature is the availability of the websites.

What needs improvement?

The product could support any network load balancer. At present, we can use only Amazon’s load balancer application. It will help us manage hosting multiple web services or websites easily.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Amazon CloudFront for two to three years. At present, we use the latest version.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 30 to 40 admins executing using Amazon CloudFront in our organization. We plan to increase the usage as we migrate from a third-party WAF to AWS WAF.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support services are good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

We migrated from EC2 as an individual website towards Amazon CloudFront. The migration was straightforward as it is available in AWS itself. It took around two weeks for 150 websites. We had a team of 50-60 executives to work on the deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Amazon CloudFront costs less than third-party services. Going for third-party vendors may cost more, require some skills, and take time to integrate.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Amazon CloudFront a seven out of ten.

Comprehensive features with many capabilities, but better documentation needed

Pros and Cons

"The solution has many features that are comprehensive."

"I have utilized certain characteristics and invested effort in reading the documentation, which proved to be challenging."

What is most valuable?

The solution has many features that are comprehensive.

What needs improvement?

I have utilized certain characteristics and invested effort in reading the documentation, which proved to be challenging.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Amazon CloudFront within the last 12 months.

How was the initial setup?

The implementation was a bit difficult due to the documentation used. It would be beneficial to have a categorization in the documentation that aids understanding based on user expertise levels, such as beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Such a division would greatly assist startups like ours.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Amazon CloudFront a seven out of ten.
