Upgrade options are available only via the CLI and should also be made available via the Web interface. An administrator can get locked out from upgrading the software if they lose access to the CLI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can customize it as we wish, in a very clear and simple way.

Great product, documentation could be better

Performance and Monitoring with Varnish Controller
What do you dislike?
The documentation is a bit mess, but i have seen improvements recently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Caching microservices at ease, no need of caching dependency on code, write your code as is, just wrap your application/microservice with varnish and it does the heavy lifting for you.
Great for CDN or lots of microservices

Varnish review 2022
What do you like best?
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?
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

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, ...).
Varnish cdn

Recommendations to others considering the product:
During our deployment of Varnish, we paid for their assistance to answer our questions while we deployed the software to our environment. Their help saved us time and headaches by quickly answering questions and enabling us to own and manage the installation completely.
Varnish software is a attentive and competent company
What do you like best?
Varnish software is a atentive and competent company which makes a excellent product that made a splash on the internet when it was introduced. The product is used all over the internet and at e.g. Fastly for their core offering. The product documentation is good (but consider getting one of their books if you want to do complicated things).
What do you dislike?
Unfortunately, the mindshare of Varnish software in the Open Source world is diminishing. E.g. NGiNX is easier to start using as an ingress controller and cache server for new sites and once the infrastructure is set it gets hard to replace as requirements grow more complex. This might make it harder to recruit customers that way in the future.
The number of essential proprietary modules for varnish is also growing, and quite a few of them should perhaps be part of the base product and not even modules. Some features off the top of my head:
- Ability to sign s3 bucket requests
- Normalization of query parameters to reduce cache size where they are needed and can't just be stripped off
- A more extensive basic template that can, e.g., remove utm_ or fbclid and other common cruft that might crop up
A review of the VCL of some big sites might show other common patterns that should be possible to handle very easily in the standard VCL (depending on switches provided by the operator)
It's not that NGiNX handles these things out of the box but varnish can do better and deliver more value more quickly.

It's trite: Varnish accelerates our web services by caching and the power of VCL (Varnish Cache Language) makes it practical and easy to adapt to a myriad of different content backends with different abilities and requirements.
