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?

User Testimonials
	Amazon CloudFront	FlashEdge CDN
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	No answers on this topic
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	No answers on this topic
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	No answers on this topic
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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 than AWS Cloudfront.

Return on Investment	RoI for using CloudFront is immense. You can use it for all your certificate management and static asset management of your websites using CloudFront.
