Amazon CloudFront Reviews & Product Details

I like that it's already integrated with other AWS services easily, but that's about it. It also seems very highly customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's really hard to use. Seriously. You really need to know what you're doing. I supposed you could always improve UI/UX, but I think that’s already pretty decent. I’m sure it could probably run faster too, but that’s still not that bad either. Amazon also keeps updating/changing their user interface, so we're having to re-learn how to set things up again periodically. Despite the redesigns, our CloudFront distributions continue to crash on us frequently and create problems when configured with DNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudFront has allowed us to speed up the website and allows us the ability to use the points of presence to get content faster to the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features are a little limited, such as your SSL and additional items. Support is also a little harder to reach, so you would need to reference online documents and forums for quick fixes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon CloudFront is a CDN. To be honest, it's not the most features CDN on the market, but I personally believe it provides everything required for the majority of use cases at an affordable pricing.

It's easy to use, you can provision a new distribution in about 30 minutes, it perfectly integrates with Terraform, has 100+ point of presence across the globe and they recently introduced Lambda@Edge - that's the ability to run your functions (lambas) directly on CDN edges, opening anyone to edge-computing.

It's hard to say what I dislike, since CloudFront is one of the best AWS services in my experience. Let's say I would enjoy more features on Lambda@Edge, to enable building more applications, like on-the-fly origin binary response manipulation (using a stream-like pattern).
