Google Cloud CDN comes with the package of Google Cloud and it is one of the fastest CDN available in the market. We are using Google Cloud CDN to host most of our static content and serve that content in secured methods. Using their Load Balancers and SSL, we can easily rely on Google Cloud CDN.
  • It is one of the most secure and fastest CDN available globally.
  • It helps in improving the performance of the website or web-apps.
  • It drastically reduces the latency, so the loading time of the content is reduced as well.
  • It allows using SSL for improved Security and serving the content using the HTTPS protocol.
  • Their support system is not competitive and takes a huge time generally.
  • Setting up for the first time might be a little complex thing for beginners.
  • Documentation needs so many updates and improvements.
Google Cloud CDN is available globally and supports various load balancers available in different regions around the globe, so I find Google Cloud CDN as one of the best choices for CDN as it serves globally and it is really fast, safe, and secure. It might be not suitable for you if you do not have any technical background.
  • It allows SSL, so we can serve the content over secured protocols.
  • It has load balancers available globally, so makes the content delivery even faster.
  • It has low latency and superb performance.

We have started using Google Cloud CDN in the last three months. It's a start-up project for our whole organization. By using Google Cloud CDN, we avoid commitments to one vendor. We can quickly build new apps and update our existing ones. The platform always stays consistent and it provides comprehensive data analysis.
  • The building and modernizing of apps
  • Data analysis
  • Security
  • Work with other integrations such as Smartphones
  • Monitoring and usage reporting
  • Support
It allows us to build and maintain original applications which can then be published from the web. It addresses the business need for enterprises. The pay structure also allows us to pay as we go, thereby we don't have to pay monthly. It also allows us to borrow the analytics and not come up with them on our own.

We have limited software developers and don't have the need for a big cloud service provider along with their costs. Google Cloud CDN brings to usr, reliability and brand familiarity. Google Cloud CDN also doesn't bother us with pitches or 1000 emails about the products. We went and signed up for it, without dealing with a pushy salesperson.

We use Google Cloud CDN or content delivery network for CDN needs of our organisational content. It's being used to serve the static content from internet for faster loading of content to portal users and to load css and java scripts as static content over the CDN. It's one of the best to spread the static content over the internet.
  • It is one of the best CDN in the market as it has google at its back, it has the highest uptime.
  • This really helps us to reduce the loading time of content as well as site, blog or portal.
  • It needs very much learning experience. Beginners have to learn so much before actually setting it up.
  • Not so good for small organisations as the pricing is higher than other options.
Google Cloud CDN is one of the best suited tools to serve images, css, java scripts and other static contents. We also use it as the server of static contents in promotional emails. It is one of the best uses for Google Cloud CDN as it reduces the loading time of the content of emails or sites.
  • Reduced the portal loading time saves time.
  • Promotional mails opens in few seconds when clicked, generates a little bit of confidence in the end users.
Fastly was having minimum spend system, when we started using it, and the pricing structure didn't fit our budget, so we decided to change the provider. Also, compared to Google Cloud CDN it was a little bit difficult to set up and use for beginners.
As I said earlier, as we are already the Google Cloud Services user, Google Cloud CDN has some similarities in the UI and use cases, it's not so difficult to set up for us. Even after that there are 1000's of articles and blogs over the internet and Google documentation for most of the use cases and requirements.

Google Cloud CDN can be a great boost to help manage web networks with its many features. It has been used as an effective tool for the organization I work with and simplifies overall infrastructure costs. Its best for organizations utilizing Google Cloud products like Google cloud storage. It also helps to enhance overall security measures for a web presence online.
  • Google Cloud CDN works really well with other Google cloud platform produces like Google Cloud Storage.
  • Users of Google services will have an easier learning curve.
  • The service can really enhance the overall speed of websites and platforms online.
  • For some, there may be a lack of support for some needs like training or specialty issues involving security.
  • The product can be difficult for some network administrators or web managers to utilize. It's not meant to be an easy product to use at first glance.
  • Overall, it works well to improve website loads and interactions. However, its pricing structure for some smaller companies may keep it a little out of their budget range.
Google Cloud CDN works great as a tool to manage and accelerate web platforms and services. Its enhancements can greatly outweigh its training and budgetary costs for smaller organizations. For some businesses or organizations, the product may be an overkill if they have simple web hosting or service needs. Smaller organizations with limited in-house staff may find the product difficult to implement and utilize without hiring additional support.
  • Google Cloud CDN has worked great as a tool to provide more reliable and faster interactive web experiences such as with e-learning sites.
  • The product can require additional training costs, even for experienced IT administrators.
  • Overall, ongoing costs can also be prohibitive for organizations with smaller web presences.
Google Cloud CDN works really well for a reliable CDN service, especially when used with other Google Services. It is highly reliable, efficient, and speedy. That said it can also be difficult to implement and lacks some support services found with other CDN services. It does not hold your hand by any stretch and organizations with experienced IT staff will find the best overall use from the service.
