Cons
"Support is not that great.""The solution's pricing could be better.""Fastly's customer service area needs improvement.""Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned.""The product should provide improved bot detection and management.""It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."

More Fastly Cons →

"We should get the logs from the solution, and it should communicate with the local DNS.""The solution needs an access management feature with API integration so we can assign certain levels of access within groups.""We have a lot of unknown errors popping up in the latest version."
