Seamlessly manages security and dynamic content hosting in diverse applications

Commendable solution enhancing regional connectivity and efficiency

Pros

"Its main advantage is that it offers something in this region that wasn't available before; previously, you had to go outside of the region to get the same level of service that you can now access right here in Bahrain. It's truly incredible. Building this IX has significantly changed how traffic is handled. The technical support is good. The initial setup is very straightforward. I rate the solution a perfect ten. "

Cons

"The only issues we've faced were when AWS itself had problems, and that's very rare. I can only recall one instance when they had issues, but they managed to resolve it quickly."

Top-notch in terms of customer service and offers pay-as-you-go model with a free tier

Pros

"If you're using AWS entirely, it's smooth sailing. "

Cons

"With a mixed stack, things become a problem. With GCP and Azure, the DNS setup gets tricky when using CloudFront. "

A CDN solution that has rich documentation and resources

Pros

"The beneficial feature for the entire AWS community is the presence of edge location servers. These servers are strategically located in multiple locations, allowing efficient content delivery from the nearest server. "

Cons

"The solution can benefit from expanding its data center and server locations to multiple places for smoother content delivery with even lower latency. The latency we experience is sufficient for our needs, and we are doing well. However, if they expand their locations in the future, it could be a positive factor. Its competitors have multiple data and server locations. "

Streamlined resource management with robust security features

Cons

"Amazon CloudFront seems to have too many unnecessary products, which makes it cluttered. "
