Considered Both Products	StackPath Edge Delivery CC Carlos Coque System Administrator Chose StackPath Edge Delivery When we identified the need for having a Content Delivery Network to improve our website loading performance we researched a bit and found StackPath.

Verified User Anonymous Chose StackPath Edge Delivery Better CDN pricing than Amazon CloudFront and Fastly. We knew Akamai was expensive but it is the best when it comes to content and application delivery. For CDN and Object Storage, it is easier to setup and manage than AWS.

Jason Byrne Vice President Of Engineering Chose StackPath Edge Delivery Cloudflare is the market leader, specifically with Workers. StackPath is mainly compatible with Workers, so it's really nice that you can use (mostly) the same code to deploy to both. Workers is a more mature product.

Likelihood to Recommend	It is great as a primary or backup CDN. We have had no issues with performance. The cache hit ratio is high. Some of the options are hidden within the API and you have to configure them with API calls, such as configuring signed fetch requests to an S3 origin. These should be in CLI or Web Console. The deployment of edge side scripts with the CLI or CI/CD could be improved.

They are problem solvers with a can-do attitude. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Price competitive. Easy to use. Good reporting. Quick to deploy. Start-up friendly. Good technical information via blog, FAQ and community discussion. I can talk to real person for urgent support. Incentivized Andre Cheung CEO & Founder Read full review	We used Limelight Networks (LLNW) for content storage and reporting. They continued to update and improve the platform. Their customer communication approach had evolved over the years to become very good. We webcast live events throughout North America and abroad from multiple locations for multiple clients, simultaneously. We built applications on top of LLNW infrastructure.

Usability	No answers on this topic	Uplynk has improved greatly in the past year or so but still has some technical quirks that need to be worked out. i think with some improvements to speed and more stability in the program it could be an essential industry tool for our news station. Thank you for the improved performance to date. Incentivized Michael Cusanelli Digital Content Manager Read full review
