    Alibaba Cloud CDN is very cost-efficient and faster in some cases than the competitors. It also provides the latest documentation, so you don't have to go through hundred of pages of decade-old documentation like some of the competitors. Along with that they provides state of the art analytics and insights platform which makes the decision making process smooth.

    I have used Salesforce to explore it as an app but I have found them both able to solve my needs and requirements when it comes to security. While I choose IBM Cloud Internet Services for more accessibility, a better price was available with Saleforce. Although that is just my observation.
