And if we compare speed and latency of CloudFront with the BunnyCDN and CloudFare, CloudFront is was faster than them. With CloudFront, we get options like signed URL and signed cookies which prevent our … Incentivized Helpful? Gnanasekar Mani Senior Software Engineer Chose Amazon CloudFront Have used the IBM Cloud Content Delivery Network for a very short time span like a couple of weeks. Both the setup as well as interactions with other services are a little complicated or not straightforward when compared to AWS. Also, IBM cloud has less number of edge locations … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Amazon CloudFront Cloudfront is one of the oldest CDN with presence in a lot of locations. This really helps in making the content load faster in all the locations globally. Other products have also caught up with this but still AWS has a lot of other services which can be connected with the CDN … Incentivized Helpful? Ali Kazempour Information Technology Manager Chose Amazon CloudFront Amazon has always been creative and leading, and I have been using its services for years. They are very reassuring and have fast and responsive support--you can call them from any time zone to respond quickly. High security on servers, open hands on changes, and increasing and … Incentivized Helpful? CB Carlos Becerra Senior Software Engineer & Project Manager Chose Amazon CloudFront We use a great set of AWS features and it was easy to implement Amazon CloudFront. It fulfills our needs, and the learning curve was not difficult given the AWS configuration we already have. Incentivized Helpful? Fortune Nwaiwu Business Analyst Chose Amazon CloudFront I find Amazon CloudFront to be better suited to my business needs in terms of robustness, agility and scalalbility of the solution. Incentivized Helpful? Bob Smith Co-Founder, President, CTO Chose Amazon CloudFront Because our products are built and utilize other AWS features, it was easiest to implement Amazon CloudFront based on initial environment configuration. Other CDNs were easier to get started with but required manual intervention to update overtime. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Amazon CloudFront If you are using other AWS services, then no other CDN can compete with AWS CloudFront. Its integration with WAF, Route53, ACM allow it to provide a whole ecosystem for building websites and using a CDN. It gives developers access to inexpensive, pay-as-you-go pricing. … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Gardner Co-Founder Chose Amazon CloudFront We ended up selecting CloudFront because we were already using an Amazon stack. To be honest, since we were already in the ecosystem there was little reason to deviate once we saw pricing was comparable. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Barretto CTO Chose Amazon CloudFront We went with CloudFront primarily because we have all of our other services with Amazon already. We are using EC2, S3, Elastic Beanstalk, and are very familiar with the interface. It did not disappoint. Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Dickson Director of Engineering Chose Amazon CloudFront CloudFront is well-suited for a particular use case with its native tie-ins to other Amazon/AWS services, like S3. If choosing from a platform-specific CDN, we tend to go with whichever CDN is available for use on that platform (e.g. Google or Azure). In rare cases we might … Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Raines Backend Software Engineer Chose Amazon CloudFront Cloudflare is another great CDN service. It comes with a lot of things set up of the box for you, and gives you a basic and reasonable set up straight away. It also has a free-tier for smaller sites. Cloudflare doesn't quite have the same level of configurability, however. … Incentivized Helpful? AA Ashish Agarwal Software Engineer Chose Amazon CloudFront Amazon CloudFront free Tier allows up to 50 GB of data transfer per month which is not there in any of the above. Amazon CloudFront provides detailed reporting around the most frequently used objects, monitoring and usage charts. Amazon CloudFront is suitable to help you … Incentivized Helpful?	Cloudimage CM Chris Mou Technical Director Chose Cloudimage We chose Cloudimage for the value for money, and the ability to link with our own hosting. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cloudimage We don't like the new pricing scheme for imgix at all. We could have gone from 100 USD / month to 500 USD / month because they price based on source image (we had 50, 000). With Cloudimage, the pricing is based on source image cache (gigabytes) and CDN bandwidth (gigabytes). Incentivized Helpful? Nick Hutchins Senior eCommerce Developer Chose Cloudimage So apparently I can't select the options. I have tried, but the only other one we seriously looked at was Piio. A couple of others we evaluated (for such a brief time) were similar to Piio, and didn't really cover what we needed. Piio (and others) don't tick all the boxes we … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Amazon CloudFront	Cloudimage
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon CloudFront is best suited when there is a need of speed in serving static and dynanic web contents of a web application. If the content is already in that edge location, CloudFront delivers it immediately. If the content is not currently in that edge location, CloudFront retrieves it from an Amazon S3 bucket or an HTTP server. Amazon CloudFront is not appropriate in case users can tolerate some delays or servers are present near to the location of user. It also Integrates through the W3 Total Cache plugin. Amazon CloudFront Pricing based on bandwidth usage that's the best part of it. Incentivized AA Ashish Agarwal Software Engineer Read full review	Use it if you have a ton of source images and need many transformations. Don't use it if you only want to serve a few image[s] to a very very large number of users (CDN bandwidth costs) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Solid CDN services, does what it says on the tin Lots of configuration options, which allow for different setups and pricing strategies Lambda@Edge integration allows for really quite complex behaviours to be executed in the cloud at the edge node itself. This means there are a huge amount of possibilities for shaping and altering traffic close to the viewer. Simple integration to other AWS services (e.g. S3) Incentivized Andrew Raines Backend Software Engineer Read full review	Image manipulation Connecting to self hosted servers Delivers images to the browser CM Chris Mou Technical Director Read full review
Cons	If price is the main concern, CloudFront is not the cheapest-in-class by a wide margin Some of the settings are not obvious to new users, and the management dashboards could use work Lacks fine-grained access controls and statistical reports for usage Incentivized Joshua Dickson Director of Engineering Read full review	Having tiers based either more on source cache / CDN bandwidth (for some persons) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Easy way to integrate a CDN within the AWS infrastructure. It allows further customization based on company needs. Incentivized CB Carlos Becerra Senior Software Engineer & Project Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	CloudFront is a good CDN solution. It can be a bit complicated to implement depending on your needs, but AWS tech support is great. You get to avoid a ton of upfront costs by going with CloudFront. It works best in conjunction with other AWS services in your infrastructure. Once you set it up, you won't need to do much to maintain it. It just works.
