"The definition of production quality"
5/5
What do you like best about Varnish Software?

Code base originated from and authored by BSD kernel developers implies uncompromised quality and attention to code correctness. Like BSD, Varnish may not always have the latest features but what is released is always 100% rock solid, battle hardened and trustworthy for any size production workload.

What do you dislike about Varnish Software?

The threading model is a bit dated and difficult to tune, compared to competing per-core event loop models. Also the commercial product is slow to release it's improvements back to the community version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does the job - without any trouble at all"
4/5
What do you like best about Varnish Software?

The system is very stable and does the job without using a lot of resources.

By reading the manual you learn so much stuff you never thought about in the past. The people at Varnish obviously know a thing or two about their domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varnish Software?

The Varnish system is light weight. There are no frills attached (in a good way). So you need some time to discover the possibilities to operate/monitor the installation and to debug your configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This aggressive caching machine helps take your site speed to the next level. Anyone who fights for search engine rankings knows even the smallest leg up on the sites above you can help. Site speed matters in 2020 and Varnish Cache gives you just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varnish Software?

The caching is quite aggressive. This is not the easiest install. The devs at Varnish are fantastic and will work with you to get it all configured, but you will definitely need an experienced developer on your team to work hand in hand with them to get this installed. You will also likely have to make some changes on your site to accommodate for this aggressive cache Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varnish Software?

One of the main things which concern me is that no notifications are provided if in any case there is some security threat to my content. In addition its pricing policy needs to be negotiated because it is limited in its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varnish Software?

It is very much technical tool to utilize and without the proper knowledge you cannot achieve the goals. Further they use your Newsletter which enhances the risk of data leakage. Moreover it is very much costly solution which eventually restricts its usage so the pricing policy needs to be revised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
