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.

- Public-sector track record, with managed Azure for Virginia's VITA and public cloud services for Texas.
- Covers the full lifecycle, from strategy and migration through daily operations and cost optimization.
Cons
- No public pricing, and every engagement needs a custom sales quote.
- No self-service cloud: you cannot start a VM, use an API, or pay by the hour as you can with developer clouds.
- Public pages do not set out SLA terms or list specific compliance certifications.
- Independent reviews are scattered across service lines, and aggregate scores sit around 3.9 to 4.3.
