Pros & Cons
AAmazon CloudFront
Pros
- The network is very large, with more than 750 PoPs plus over 1,140 PoPs embedded inside ISP networks.
- Data transfer from AWS origins such as S3 and EC2 to CloudFront costs nothing, which lowers costs for workloads hosted on AWS.
- Flat-rate plans start at $15 a month with no overage charges, which makes bills predictable.
- It has strong compliance coverage, including PCI-DSS Level 1, HIPAA, SOC, ISO and FedRAMP Moderate.
- Two tiers of edge compute are available: CloudFront Functions at $0.10 per million invocations and Lambda@Edge for heavier code.
Cons
- G2 and Capterra reviewers report complex configuration and a steep learning curve for people new to AWS.
- Capterra-network reviewers rate customer support poorly, around 3.4 out of 5.
- Flat-rate plans lack some features, such as real-time logs, dedicated IP SSL and continuous deployment, and going over the allowance reduces performance.
- Dedicated IP SSL at $600 a month and Anycast Static IPs at $3,000 a month are expensive extras.
- Users on AWS re:Post and GitHub report cache invalidations that occasionally hang for hours or time out during deploys.
CloudSigma
Pros
- CPU, RAM and storage are sized independently rather than in fixed instance types.
- Per-second metering in five-minute billing segments avoids paying for idle hourly blocks.
- A wide certification list covers ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, SOC 2 and PCI-DSS.
- The white-label model lets telcos and MSPs launch branded cloud services on revenue share, with no licence fees.
- Terraform, Ansible and a REST API with pricing and billing endpoints support automation.
Cons
- No public list prices, so costs require a pricing call.
- Burst usage is charged at higher rates than subscription capacity, which makes bills harder to predict.
- The public review footprint is small, and many reviews are years old.
- The network uptime guarantee does not cover applications, per RFP.wiki.
- Some users report friction during setup and support in edge cases.
