While Lambda @ Edge solves some problems, it would be nice to have features similar to F5's iRules where you can route traffic based on headers, cookies, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Relatively easy to configure and well integrated with the rest of AWS services, which is a great advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloudfront is very pocket frontly if you don't have a huge data transfer, once the data crosses several 100 TBs the prices go very high. Takes around 40 mins to setup, wish this would have been faster. Another downside is that cloudfront has fewer nodes compared to some other CDNs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
