Fastly Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Software Developer at hireHQ4.0Fastly's edge caching, instant purging, and computing capabilities significantly boost our app performance, reducing latency and backend load by 30-60%. While stable and scalable, VCL complexity and pricing predictability could improve.
Technical support engineer at Adobe4.5I use Fastly for CDN, WAF, and image optimization, valuing its performance for Adobe Commerce Cloud. However, I find its WAF rules opaque, regional IP options limited, and technical support slow, needing more transparency and Cloudflare-like features.
Arquitecto De Soluciones at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees3.5I use Fastly as a cost-effective CDN, valuing its code integration and traceability for faster app access. It's stable, scalable, with good support, offering ROI. My main suggestion is better documentation, despite an initial learning curve.
Staff Engineer at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees4.5I value Fastly for CDN, WAF, and real-time control, especially its integrated WAF and VCL. Setup was easy. My main concerns are its lack of mainland China presence and incomplete WebSocket support, though it's modern compared to competitors.
Senior Consultant CDN at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Fastly for security and CDN, finding it stable and scalable with a straightforward setup. However, I criticize its high, regionally complex pricing, non-native security features, and weak partner channel for resellers like me.
CEO at Torque4.0I value Fastly's Compute@Edge for significantly increasing our velocity, enabling quick pilots and A/B testing, and offering exceptional support. It's stable, scalable, and cost-competitive, though I'd like improved bot detection and code management. I rate it 8/10.
Security Engineer at Amazon4.0I find this solution excellent for CDN and WAF, preventing DDoS attacks. It's stable, scalable, easy to implement, and reasonably priced. My main concern is the support, but overall, it meets my requirements.
Information Technology Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees4.5I use Fastly as a reliable, scalable CDN, valuing its powerful VCL, programmatic configuration, instant purging, and request collapsing for traffic spikes. Support is good, but I believe analytics could be stronger. Overall, I rate it 9/10.
Infrastructure Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Fastly for malware tracking, finding its UI reliable and setup easy, which improves site access and reliability. However, its customer service needs significant improvement. I recommend evaluating alternatives like Cloudflare or Akamai based on specific needs and cost.
IT Infrastructure Architect at GoSee Travel5.0I use this solution for network protection and caching. Its straightforward setup and excellent support are positives, but its high cost is a drawback. Overall, I recommend it.
