The Fastly Managed CDN is a very Well Managed & Stable CDN.It provides the Quick response team system with best services.Cache purge is good and active.It optimize the web page load time. It make the surity of the faster content delivery.This platform acts like a middle man between server and user.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Fastly Managed CDN is a strong platform , however all the features can not be used by all customer, so the pricing must be flexible with the option of utilities.The Cache replacing is must which leads to the high price.The configuration though UI is required , these all drives to the time consumption and more cost.

The Fastly Managed CDN is ahighly distributed platform of servers reduces the delay of loading web sites and the wen content.Once the cache is replaced , it really effective and performance booster regarding the web business.It also provide good storage with dynamic approach.

Best Customer Experience, Best Services, Great People
What do you like best about the product?
The CDN, WAF offering of Fastly is really great without a doubt. They are flexible and customizable. The best thing about Fastly is their Sales team and engineers. Their tremendous support made our onboarding really easy and it was the best experience I had ever had with any of the Service Providers. Also, for developers, they have a humongous knowledge base.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found some discrepancies in the documentation which is at some level acceptable since the support is always present to answer any questions. There is a good scope for improvement in the VCL snippets section. In my experience, I had some custom requirements. Surprisingly, there were old threads on Fastly Support of users who also had similar requirements. It would be great if Fastly improves its repository by adding all such snippets in the knowledge base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a configurable CDN and WAF. With Fastly we are trying to improve the performance and security of our Saas application. With Fastly we have seen performance improvements of at least 60% on our Saas application. Fastly's CDN has also contributed to reducing our origin infrastructure costs by 5% which is tremendous. Overall, Fastly has also improved the user experience which has resulted in an increase in traffic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go with it! Their solutions are great. The team is amazing, knowledgeable, and considerate. They help you customize the CDN, WAF according to your requirements which is rare. It's the best CDN out there.
Fastly: Powerful API & Config + Great Service!
What do you like best about the product?
* We initially chose Fastly since the beginning because of their capability to quickly invalidate Cacheable content. We leveraged Fastly Purge API, and combined them with marketing automation to dynamically changes our products stock & pricing on a real-time basis, minimizing stale data
* Over time, as we need to configure more advanced varnish configurations, we discovered how friendly, knowledgeable and fast response Fastly technical support is. Some interesting approach is to use Fastly to "knit" our microservice frontend URLs such that all requests are proxied and redirected towards the correct server based on URL and User-Agent, making it seamless from the customer point of view as if our frontends were from one single app.

Campaign Automation + Purge API for less stale contents
We recently explored automated campaigns in which the campaign affect our products' price and stocks dynamically. Fastly suits our requirement with their ability to purge content (in which uncommon for CDN to provide) and adjust our cached results via API. With this feature, we attracted higher demand with less operational cost, can create redundancy needed to prepare for major spikes in demand as a result of merchant promotions, handles peak traffics, all without compromising our server's data integrity.
