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.
Cyso Cloud
Pros
- The standard OpenStack API means Terraform, Ansible and the OpenStack CLI work without proprietary tooling, which lowers lock-in.
- Dutch-owned and hosted in European data centres in Amsterdam and Frankfurt, which supports GDPR and sovereignty requirements.
- ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications suit Dutch healthcare buyers.
- Hourly billing with clear EUR rates per resource, free ingress and free IPv6.
- Gardener-based managed Kubernetes with a 99.9% SLA and an optional highly available control plane.
Cons
- Only two regions, both in Europe, with no global footprint or CDN.
- Managed databases are still in beta and support PostgreSQL only, and there is no serverless offering.
- Object storage egress costs 0.055 EUR per GB, the same as the storage rate.
- Almost no independent user reviews, as G2 lists none.
