User Testimonials
	Alibaba Cloud CDN	Imperva CDN
Likelihood to Recommend	Alibaba Cloud Alibaba Cloud CDN is well suited for the below scenarios - if you want to get started quickly and don't want to go through a lot of settings ups then go for it. The documentation is really good. The speed and delivery network and billing price ratio is quite good and in some cases better than competitors. Incentivized Partha Roy Lead Product Engineer Read full review	Imperva I recommend it as a WAF, but not as a CDN. There are better CDNs, in my case I use transparentCDN (now www.transparentedge.eu) and Edgecast (now Verizon CDN). Incentivized EA Edu Ard Sysadmin Read full review

Cons	Alibaba Cloud Alibaba Cloud CDN doesn't have the automatic SSL attachment to web apps, which can be great if provided. A economical and startup friendly billing plan can be added. CDN locations needs to be increased. Incentivized Partha Roy Lead Product Engineer Read full review	Imperva CDN functionalities are secondary and cannot be compared to a top-level CDN. The WebGUI interface of the dashboard is very improvable. They have been changing the UX for years and it is disjointed and with services that have not yet been migrated. The analysis of WAF attack logs is insufficient. It is difficult to analyze attacks of past hours, event filters are missing. It is complicated to analyze the chronology of an attack. There are extra modules to improve the attack logs analysis but they are expensive and add little. Incentivized EA Edu Ard Sysadmin Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Alibaba Cloud 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. Incentivized Partha Roy Lead Product Engineer Read full review	Imperva Also TransparentCDN (now www.transparentedge.eu ) and Level 3 Incentivized EA Edu Ard Sysadmin Read full review
Return on Investment	Alibaba Cloud Alibaba Cloud CDN has boosted our web performance by 300X which ensured more user to come to our platform Addition of their CDN also guaranteed Zero downtime in our app. Their faster issue resolving and great support engineers are always helping us whenever there's a issue. Incentivized Partha Roy Lead Product Engineer Read full review	Imperva It's an expensive product if you have a lot of traffic volume, but I feel confident with their WAF.
