Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Amazon CloudFront yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“CloudFront and Google Cloud CDN are the obvious picks if you're already embedded in their respective cloud ecosystems” DeepSeek V4 Flash · CDN · comparative prompt · alternative

“Other options to consider are Cloudflare, Akamai, Amazon CloudFront, Fastly, and Google Media CDN” Llama 4 Maverick · CDN · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“Akamai, Cloudflare, CloudFront, Fastly, Google Cloud CDN generally show the most reliable uptime” DeepSeek V4 Flash · CDN · negative prompt · alternative

“AWS CloudFront | AWS integration, reliable | $0.085+ | Cheap for high volume w/ reserves.” Grok 4.1 Fast · CDN · scale prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“All major CDNs studied (including Cloudflare, Microsoft Azure, Amazon, and Fastly) have been found to have back-end TLS connections vulnerable” Claude Haiku 4.5 · CDN · negative prompt · soft negative

“AWS CloudFront, Azure CDN | Backend HTTP/ weak crypto allowances; outage propagation. Heavy logging (personal data under GDPR).” Grok 4.1 Fast · CDN · negative prompt · soft negative

“Other commonly abused CDNs: CloudFront, Webflow CDN, Google APIs (these are abused because of their trusted domain reputation)” MiniMax M2.5 · CDN · negative prompt · soft negative

“CloudFront has suffered from specific architectural flaws that can lead to significant data exposure.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · CDN · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Amazon CloudFront. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 109 of the 151 answers that named Amazon CloudFront and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Amazon CloudFront's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Amazon CloudFront, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at amazoncloudfront.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
