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.

Works without interruption, scales well, and has perfect uptime
Our website works without interruption almost until late at night, as many students have the opportunity to study in the evening. Most of all, we appreciate the stable and fast work of g-core. Uptime is always perfect. With such a volume of data as we have, failures can occur from time to time. The support solves everything in the shortest possible time. I love that the guys are constantly trying to improve the service. Our online school is expanding every year, and there are no problems that our provider can’t solve. They also have the opportunity to negotiate individual conditions for complex sites.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Edge configuration and availability are vital features for easy content drop-off requests"
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The beneficial feature for the entire AWS community is the presence of edge location servers. These servers are strategically located in multiple locations, allowing efficient content delivery from the nearest server."
"The AWS environment was very helpful in terms of integration."
"The product is very well interconnected with other Amazon services."
"If you're using AWS entirely, it's smooth sailing."
"It has built-in DDoS protection, which protects against DDoS attacks."
"Amazon CloudFront is a stable solution."
"The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly."
"Since transitioning to G-Core, our site has started working much faster, and freezes have stopped. Users are staying on the site longer and visiting more sections. We increased the number of customers by 30 percent in the past six months. This is partially attributable to G-Core services."
"We've done a lot of research into CDN providers, and G-Core offers the best service for the lowest cost."
"Uptime is always perfect."
"The CDN interface is intuitive and user-friendly, and there are no intrusive ads or upselling additional services. Everything is self-contained, and it's a convenient CDN overall. We also loved that they provided a free trial period. They always seem to do what's best for the consumer and the internet."
 

Cons

"I have utilized certain characteristics and invested effort in reading the documentation, which proved to be challenging."
"The pricing for Amazon CloudFront is quite expensive; I would rate it six if we use all edges. The price could be optimized."
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"With a mixed stack, things become a problem. With GCP and Azure, the DNS setup gets tricky when using CloudFront."
"There are some solutions needed for integration that are not free."
"Amazon CloudFront could improve by making it easier to integrate with components from different cloud providers."
"The user interface could be improved."
"They could be expanding the number of locations available. It will help users easily access content."
"Once in the past six months, we got a "site is unavailable" error for a maximum of 20 minutes."
"There are some nuances in the tariff configurations that we found confusing. We would like more flexibility in this area."
"It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later."
"I would like to have one optimized report that we could use for our own needs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing follows a pay-as-you-go model."
"The tool is affordable."
"Its price is really on the high side. It should be cheaper in general."
"Amazon CloudFront is an expensive solution."
"Amazon CloudFront costs less than third-party services."
"The solution’s price is reasonable."
"Amazon's pricing varies depending on the data transfer."
"The policies and prices keep on changing frequently with AWS solutions"
"The price of G-Core Labs CDN is very reasonable in comparison with other companies. We've done a lot of research into CDN providers, and G-Core offers the best service for the lowest cost."
