The best Edge Cloud service I can find on the market today
We are using CF as the Edge Cloud provider, for web application firewall security, and to accelerate end-user response time globally.
- SSL management
- Cache - secure CDN
- Argo - optimize global network response
- Looking forward for the finally release of R2 -- like AWS's S3 solution.
- Pricing: We are using the Business tier. I hope there will be a Business+ tier. Enterprise has a too high price start point.
- Positive: Totally accelerated our cloud services in many countries, including China.
- Positive: So much easier to manage SSL certs, CDN, DNS, and server-less app deployments.
- Negative: Too high of the price for Enterprise. I hope there is a one for tech startups.
I think CF is the best in Edge Computing -- for WAF, global optimized network routing, and ease of use to manage SSL, DNS, CDN, etc.
It took us about 2 weeks to move every app into CF for WAF protection, DNS, and CND. Also, it took us about 2 months to learn how the server-less code deployment works on CF. The team has been very impressed with the product (technology and ease of use).
Enterprise
Yes
I reported an issue with WAP, and it was routed to their senior tech team, and eventually solved in a big way -- they had to make a system change to resolve the issue for all users.
We are very self-sufficient. Their online tools are very helpful. My questions to our account manager typically get answered within a day.
