"Everything I want in a platform"

Fastly's service has been wonderful. It's fast, reliable, and flexible. They've been a wonderful partner for us over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fastly CDN?

Their WAF product initially seemed a little like an afterthought/me too approach. I haven't evaluated it in some time though so this may have improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional technical customer support"
What do you like best about Fastly CDN?

I have been very pleased with the depth of knowledge that Fastly's technical customer support has consistently and efficiently provided solutions and suggestions for some complex custom VCL scenarios. Also it's been super easy to get in there and make some quick VCL adjustments as our needs for A/B testing and the launch of a new site evolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fastly CDN?

I really don't have a whole lot to say here. It's been great. I think it would be cool if there was a way to compare VCL configurations between different services, like we have separate dev, stage, and prod configurations. It would also be nice if the custom VCL snippets could be deployed from one service to another like a pipeline workflow instead of copy/pasting VCL snippets to each service manually. That may be possible through Fastly's API and I just haven't seen the light yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
