Fastly is the best CDN by far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fastly Content Delivery?

Manager, Technical Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/17/2021 Business partner of the seller or seller's competitor, not included in G2 scores. "Powerful, developer-friendly CDN" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Fastly Content Delivery? Fastly has an easy-to-use UI, as well as developer-friendly tools like full access to the underlying VCL, a robust API, and utilities that allow for vast scalability. Small teams can onboard quickly and set some of the most common options easily. At the same time, developers and sysadmins can dive deep into the configuration and apply far more complex routing rules that unlock even more value from this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fastly Content Delivery? Because Fastly put significant effort into making standard configurations available from within the UI, they decided where those UI elements will go by default. Sometimes, that default location presents a challenge in more complex configurations, leading to workarounds that look messier than some might be comfortable with and occasionally leading to antipatterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Fastly Content Delivery solving and how is that benefiting you? We are managing a portfolio of hundreds of customers with thousands of domains. Fastly allows us to solve 80% of our customers' use cases in about 20 minutes for each customer, regardless of how many domains they are bringing into the configuration. For the other 20% of use cases, editing the underlying VCL directly enables us to develop solutions within a few hours or days. The ability to manage all of these different configurations at scale has unlocked millions of dollars of revenue from customers that we would have been unable to sign otherwise.

Chief Technology Officer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/3/2021 "A CDN that lives up to its name: FAST!" 5/5 What do you like best about Fastly Content Delivery? At Agility CMS we use Fastly in front of our file assets and APIs. For the API we need to be able to instantly invalidate cache when data changes at the origin. Only Fastly was able to accomplish this worldwide in our tests in under 200ms consistently. Also, as a baseline, requests to the CDN are really fast in terms of response time - usually under 100ms, often under 50ms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fastly Content Delivery? The language to customize Fastly is VCL, which is based on varnish. While this is incredibly powerful as a language, its not something we were comfortable with. We had to learn VCL before we could even begin to take advantage of all Fastly has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Fastly Content Delivery: Get connected to the Fastly team if you have any questions. They are incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful, especially with those tough technical problems and questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Fastly Content Delivery solving and how is that benefiting you? With Fastly, we have a fast system that our customers can rely on to always be up-to-date with the latest content, delivered incredibly fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manager of Operations Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/24/2021 "Possibly my favorite vendor, and that's saying something..." 5/5 What do you like best about Fastly Content Delivery? Featureful, modern, easy to use, AND very reasonably priced? What's not to like? And their support is top-notch, too - when I've opened a support ticket, I've never felt like I'm getting a level 1 tech who's just reading from a manual, I've always gotten somebody who really knows their stuff. I feel good about using Fastly in a way that I never felt good about using other CDNs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fastly Content Delivery? API key management could be more polished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Fastly Content Delivery solving and how is that benefiting you? We're using Fastly to make our site faster and more available around the world, and for almost anything Layer 7 that you can think of - custom redirects at the edge, geo-localized content and geofencing, protecting services with IAP, even image postprocessing, all available as managed services instead of software that we have to maintain ourselves.

Platform Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/6/2020 "Amazing Technology With Out Of This World Support" 5/5 What do you like best about Fastly Content Delivery? Fastly's services are incredibly powerful and have allowed us to take our ecommerce platform to the next level. We control all our configuration with infrastructure as code (Terraform) with no clickops allowing us to make rapid controlled changes with simple pipelines. We have never second guessed our decision to use Fastly as our CDN and are ready to embrace their new products such as Compute@Edge as they become available. Support as also been out of this world when compared to other vendors we use, we have a shared Slack channel and there is always someone available to help us debug issues. I cant recommend Fastly enough to anybody. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fastly Content Delivery? There is very little I dislike about Fastly, we have been using it for a year now (in production for 10 months) and have been through server outages and malicious attacks, all without once going offline. The only initial problem we had was with Alerting, we were able to get logs going into our logging manager (Datadog) pretty simply, but since there is so much data it was difficult to create good alerting rules to monitor traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Fastly Content Delivery solving and how is that benefiting you? Our previous CDN was more of a black box solution and didnt allow us much control of (or insights into) traffic, with Fastly we now have fine grained control which allows us to have our CDN as part of our application rather than just a front door. We use Fastly as our WAF, Firewall, Load Balancer and more when before we had individual services for each. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
