Improved web performance has boosted content customization and currently delivers faster user experiences
From my perspective, I see some weaknesses in Amazon CloudFront; I would rate the product something around nine out of ten, but there are disadvantages compared to its competitors. Talking specifically about Amazon CloudFront, I think they could have some additional features in the future, and I believe they may lack certain functionalities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its main advantage is that it offers something in this region that wasn't available before; previously, you had to go outside of the region to get the same level of service that you can now access right here in Bahrain. It's truly incredible. Building this IX has significantly changed how traffic is handled. The technical support is good. The initial setup is very straightforward. I rate the solution a perfect ten."
"Hosting static content or with engineering dynamic content is beneficial."
"One of the most valuable features of CloudFront is the reduced latency due to its edge locations, which results in a very fast delivery of data."
"This scalability has positively reflected in my customer's web performance and user experience, allowing for better loading times."
"The solution makes our platform fully accessible and available globally, helping us to ensure that our customers can rely on it being up and running."
"If you're using AWS entirely, it's smooth sailing."
"The image loading process is easy and cost-effective too."
"Scalability is 10 out of 10; there are no issues."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
"It has helped improve load speed on the site."
"​Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
 

Cons

"There is a bit of a workaround required for custom domain management on CloudFront."
"A lot of caching features must be added to the solution."
"One of the biggest challenges with Amazon CloudFront is their pricing policy"
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"The lack of seamless integration made the setup process more complex and required additional research to manage all the services properly."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"The solution can benefit from expanding its data center and server locations to multiple places for smoother content delivery with even lower latency. The latency we experience is sufficient for our needs, and we are doing well. However, if they expand their locations in the future, it could be a positive factor. Its competitors have multiple data and server locations."
"The distribution networks need to be a little bit more user-friendly in the way that new users are not able to configure the CloudFront distribution as easily as experienced users."
"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content."
"If you are a low-use user and not used the minimum credit, it will be lost at end of year unless you upgrade, then you are left with more bandwidth than you can ever use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to competitors like Azure and Google, we find AWS pricing to be advantageous."
"Its price is really on the high side. It should be cheaper in general."
"The product could improve its price."
"Amazon CloudFront costs less than third-party services."
"The product has a mid-range pricing."
"The solution’s price is reasonable."
"We do not have many options to optimize costs."
"The policies and prices keep on changing frequently with AWS solutions"
"For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."
"I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."
"Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others. I suggest a lower recharge level and also to remove the credit expiry time​."
