Featured Reviews

Eduardo Oviedo-Blanco - PeerSpot reviewer
A CDN solution to enhance loading times and streamline navigation
When one of the primary nodes spanning from North to South America, from the northern US to the southern US, became operational, it had a big impact. It can be challenging to explain its advantages to clients. The technical nature of the marketing material is too technical for stakeholders. Integrating the solution was straightforward, requiring no extra effort. Edgio Global CDN operates, resembling familiar cloud services but offering elevated functionality. Unlike platforms such as Google Cloud Platform or RIN geared towards development teams, Edgio emphasizes client-facing services that are integral to our operations. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Excellent change data capture utility for distributed multi site environment
Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions. Technical Support: Jumpmind created and open sourced this solution. All the key players are still actively involved with the technology and provide answers to all our open questions. The consistency we receive from their support is second to none.

Pros

"The customer support and service responsiveness were excellent."

"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When I modeled it out, we are spending somewhere between $600 to $800 a month with Verizon EdgeCast."
"The product is cheaper compared to other solutions."
"Be careful about the options because to have all the features can be very expensive."
