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.

Cyber Security Consultant at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

High stability with built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure

The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly. There isn't a standardized process for blocking IPs. IPs need to be blocked individually, whether one or one hundred. A normal scenario would be to copy and paste multiple IPs at the same time but the solution does not offer this option. Updating takes a long time and is up to the WAF. In most cases, we prepare scripts to handle these updates.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."

"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the Uplynk platform for streaming purposes."

"It's super easy to use and integrate with."

"The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share."

"This is a SaaS product, so it is always up to date."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is an easy-to-use solution."

"We chose this solution in the first place because it has access to Layer 7. I can control the requests and the content, which I can access on my network if I want to even if it's forbidden access to other external resources. If I want to monitor, for example, traffic, and apply this rule on Layer 7, I can do so. This was our main goal when implementing this application. We wanted to take advantage of the Gateway capabilities."

"In my experience, Microsoft products have a smooth integration and facilitate easy management and monitoring. Using Azure Application Gateway allows us to efficiently handle the system loads."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."

"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."

Cons

"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."

"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."

"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."

"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."

"The product could be easier to use and implement."

"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing."

"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."

"The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly."

"It could be easier to change servicing."

"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."

"Scalability can be an issue."

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."

"I rate the price of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway an eight out of ten."

"I rate the pricing seven out of ten because some third-party solutions are even costlier than this."

"It is an expensive solution. We have an enterprise agreement, it is monthly."

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being cheap and one being expensive."

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway has less price than other application gateway solutions."

"The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."

"The solution is cheaper than Imperva. I rate it four to five out of ten."

"Every solution comes with a license and cost. Microsoft provides the license and the total cost is for the maintenance every year."
