Does the job - without any trouble at all

  • November 18, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The system is very stable and does the job without using a lot of resources.
By reading the manual you learn so much stuff you never thought about in the past. The people at Varnish obviously know a thing or two about their domain.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Varnish system is light weight. There are no frills attached (in a good way). So you need some time to discover the possibilities to operate/monitor the installation and to debug your configuration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taking load from the backend and robustness/stability when it comes to spikes are our main goals. Speed is a nice extra.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This tool has helped me to market my products by providing me a platform which not only provides me the authenticity of my generated content and also helps to secure it. This software provides a global platform which is providing me quality services for the content rendering to network edge. Now I am capable of approaching the large audience and make sure them the availability of my content and Varnish assures me that it is latency-free content. Overall its performance is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the main things which concern me is that no notifications are provided if in any case there is some security threat to my content. In addition its pricing policy needs to be negotiated because it is limited in its features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now I am not at all worried about the latency in the content, as it has empowered me to control the availability of the content to my audience. It is optimized software with no need of any CDNs dues to which I feel more confident in competitive delivery of the content to my customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This tool really needs the technical knowledge to utilize it to the fullest. I highly recommend this tool, if you are a content managing agency then it will help you in the continuous supply of it to your customers.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Varnish ahs opened new doors for me to manage my financial status that was associated with the content budget and through this software I am no more worried about the down time processes. Varnish has empowered me by giving the authority to control the memory usage and I have found new ways to secure the origin server. Now I am relaying on it for the better engagement with my audience as I am providing them the quality content along with quality services which are only possible through varnish which has made easier for me to control the traffic on my websites so that the content access becomes fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have found it a costly solution and the pricing policy need to be revised further its purchasing and installment is a time consuming process. A lot of times I face the issue in content upload and contacted the customer support team, the response was very delay. I still feel there is much room for the betterment regarding the interface of the software and about the features too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through varnish I stay online and manage the PoPs. Varnish is very user friendly application, once you get to know it, you will easily handle the workload. For me this tool has become very useful and beneficial.

Essential website architecture component

  • September 14, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Stable and resilient, amazing speedy HTTP answers
What do you dislike about the product?
HTTPS is not "out of the box" supported. Currently HTTPS is a must have for any website, the hitch implementation should be varnish embedded

Lack of complexed and current VCL examples
Some modules seem pretty new and need a lot of work to be used (like WAF, API protection, ...)

Varnish application enhancements and new functionnalities and module are hidden in sub minors updates (like new resolver module in 6.0.6-R8 ?!?!?! headerplus in 6.0.6-R6 ?! why not a 6.X ?)

Documentation is shared between the opensource project, varnish software blogs, and varnish software release notes varnish software wiki and varnish software documentation. Infrequent update of the varnish book.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accelerating website
Protecting backend and application architecture
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with the basics : a varnish training..
Don't use pretty old code you may find on github or stack-exchange

Powerful tool but customer support needs improvement

  • September 14, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The implementation of this software in my organization has helped me to control my budget as it has enabled me to control the costs by taking over bulk traffic and by ending the downtime events. It keeps me update protect the origin servers and helps to reduce the memory usage, which ultimately provides me enough time to better engage with my audience. It provides me a free hand for the location of the PoPs and helps to configure the CDN to exact requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a frequent user of this program this is really working in professional way but its customer support is not professional like it should be. And also I have faced some problems while discussing the issues with its customer support because they were not giving right information and were not giving proper response.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Varnish has increase the speed of or website and by controlling the traffic and ensure up to date content which attract and appeal my customers in addition it is the most advanced tool which help me to replace stack with a single powerful tool. In short it helps me to stay online and responsive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this tool just because of its outstanding performance. Moreover their customer support is not so responsive and in case you any issue you real get stuck. There is much room for the improvement many other similar application are far better then it.

Easy to use eCDN Software

  • September 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This tool has ensured the availability of our quality content globally along with the secure upload. Due to this tool I am capable of making better decisions regarding the content rendering to network edge Varnish has allowed me to reduce the latency and easily I can target the large audience for the better delivery of the latency-free content. Now, I can control the back end server load and easily configure the software for the optimal performance. Varnish has provided me full control over the content delivery.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very much technical tool to utilize and without the proper knowledge you cannot achieve the goals. Further they use your Newsletter which enhances the risk of data leakage. Moreover it is very much costly solution which eventually restricts its usage so the pricing policy needs to be revised.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have got rid of public CDNs and I feel more confident about the usage of this software due to its pre-optimized origin protection and edge-caching components, that has ensured the competitive delivery of the content. Since its usage I have created more satisfied customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will not recommend this tool on the whole to any particular organization. It is a very technical tool and requires a steep learning curve so you have to first train your team before implementing this tool.

Varnish review 2022

  • August 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The support is really good, very quick response on the main website (the chat). I got a response in less one minute.
The help and information provided was very clear.
I also got a phone call with an engineer so I can detail some architectural and technical concepts.
Otherwise, Varnish features are stable, no major problem and bug.
We received vulnerability fix and workaround with detailed step by step
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing wrong as everything is working as expected since the deployment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are using Varnish for caching on our main websites which allow us to get accelerated clients access. It's improving users experience and reducing infrastructure bottleneck during high traffic
Currently we use Drupal 8.0 as cms (front), and connect Varnish via a plugin which is available on the marketplace.
The Varnish has been deployed as container which is working very fine
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can have a trial to evaluate the product and also a very good assistance on the website. Actually Varnish have a very good compatibility with CMS (Drupal, Wordpress, ...).
