Fastly Network Services: Empowering Digital Performance and Security

Fastly's Superior Infrastructure and Performance

Fastly stands out with its innovative approach to network services, offering exceptional infrastructure and performance capabilities. Unlike Edgio's CDN, Fastly is built on a single network, ensuring streamlined operations and enhanced security. Fastly's network accelerates web and app performance, delivering real-time features and faster time to first byte (TTFB) compared to Edgio. With Instant Purge™ technology, Fastly can cache more, purge instantly, and achieve a remarkable 29% faster TTFB, showcasing its superior performance capabilities.

Deployment Choices and Configurability

Fastly provides extensive deployment choices for its Next-Gen WAF, allowing deployment in the cloud, containers, data centers, at the edge, or any combination of these options. In contrast, Edgio's WAF can only be deployed on its network, limiting flexibility. Fastly's focus on configurability empowers users to have timely control over content, caching, and rollbacks. The platform is designed to be DevOps and CI/CD friendly, offering an API-first approach for all services. Fastly's G2 'Administration' rating of 8.8 surpasses Edgio's 7.3, highlighting its user-friendly and flexible configuration options.

Real-Time Visibility and Support Excellence

Fastly excels in providing real-time visibility and superior customer support. The platform streams logs in real-time at no additional cost, offering instant insights into traffic, performance, and potential threats. This visibility ensures effective troubleshooting and control at every stage of the request path. Additionally, Fastly delivers exceptional customer support, boasting a CSAT score of 95% and a G2 'Support' rating of 9.4. In comparison, Edgio lags behind with its support ratings, making Fastly a standout choice for organizations seeking comprehensive support services.

Industry-Leading Capability and Flexibility

When comparing CDN capabilities, Fastly's unified architecture and granular caching system set it apart. The platform offers real-time communication, cache purge, origin shielding, video streaming, and image optimization features that enhance performance and control. Fastly ensures flexibility in configurations, rapid configuration speeds, and supports a DevOps and CI/CD friendly environment with its programmable API-first approach. Furthermore, Fastly's industry-leading metrics, log integrations, and custom data visualizations contribute to its standing as a powerful and flexible network solution.
