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.
Serverspace

- Pay-as-you-go billing in small time increments, with no setup fee and no card needed at signup.
- Offers both vStack and VMware virtualization, with vCloud Director for teams that already use VMware.
- API, CLI and a Terraform provider allow fully automated provisioning.
- Regions in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the UAE and Brazil, which many large clouds cover poorly.
Cons
- No managed database service; only SQL Server licences are sold.
- DDoS protection and the details of the SLA beyond the stated 99.9 percent availability are not documented publicly.
- VMware cloud is only available in Almaty and Dubai.
- Reviewers report support responses of around 30 minutes and want more locations.
- Some prices, such as object storage per GB and Kubernetes nodes, are not shown on the pricing page.
