Amazon CloudFront Reviews & Product Details

The ease to implement and also the savings incurred. We save a lot of money on bandwidth thanks to cloudfront as where we are based, bandwidth is very expensive. Serving our static content faster by being closer to the customer helps with one of the company values of giving the best customer experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not always the best CDN for certain regions and other CDNs might be faster with lower latency. There is also no support for web sockets which is the biggest consumer of our bandwidth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to set up, especially if your source is in S3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A single file is limited to 20GB, which in today's day and age, is insufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So easy to set it up for my use case of software image distribution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not easy to figure out how to set up web server configuration on origin server (e.g. Apache, Nginix, etc). For example, I still haven't figured out how to set cache TTL policies on directory index generated by default on Apache 2.2 webserver Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have set up ci/cd for our deployment and we can deploy at any time of the day without affecting customers, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not always easy to navigate thru the options we have to setup different seetings like for example adding new cache behaviors, i wish there was something in the console that would give you a quick example popup and a link Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to set up a multi-region content delivery endpoint for static websites or assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if there's a centalized way to setup website/assets delivery using S3 + CloudFront, so far I've had to do this manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to use Cloudfront + S3 to host a static website. This has alleviated a lot of pain points in hosting servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing much to dislike about Cloudfront except an outdated UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed of retrieving cached items from CloudFront really helps our players get the data they need quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability of the cache to be cleared instantly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Faster page loads internationally with images served through Cloudfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been very happy with Cloudfront and it performs well for me. I would like to have the option to make the subdomain of the url's for the image to be that of my main domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is simple to manage it, and it works.

overall in most places the exp. is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

in Israel CF doesnt have good enough service

the distribution creation takes 30 min

and the system doesnt have enough server side analytics - for example users analytics like we have on player side, are not exposed to the servewr side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's AWS so it can't be too bad. Also it can be easily automated with cloudformation or Terraform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Domain name stuff. We were trying to replace what we did in CustomDomainName api gateway and it wasn't easy to do in Cloud Front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
