Fastly has been recognized as a 2026 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Edge Distribution Platforms, highlighting strong customer satisfaction with its edge cloud platform, content delivery network (CDN), security capabilities, and customer support.
The company earned an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 92 verified customer reviews and achieved a 95% willingness-to-recommend score as of April 30, 2026. The recognition is based entirely on feedback from technology and business leaders using Fastly’s platform in production environments.
Fastly said the distinction reflects customer confidence in its ability to deliver high-performance edge computing, real-time content delivery, observability, and security services. The company noted that the platform is increasingly being used to support enterprise artificial intelligence initiatives, enabling organizations to optimize and scale AI workloads while maintaining performance and security.
According to Fastly Chief Customer Officer Kim Ogletree, the recognition validates the company’s focus on innovation, resilience, and customer success. She said enterprises rely on Fastly to help them accelerate digital innovation while remaining secure and prepared for future technology demands.
Customer reviews cited Fastly’s strong performance, developer-friendly platform, flexible APIs, real-time configuration capabilities, and responsive technical support as key strengths. Several reviewers also highlighted the company’s CDN, web application firewall (WAF), bot protection services, and ability to support complex enterprise architectures.
The latest recognition follows Fastly’s previous Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice acknowledgments in the Cloud Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) category, where the company has been recognized for seven consecutive years.
As demand for AI-powered applications and low-latency digital experiences continues to grow, edge distribution platforms are becoming increasingly critical in helping organizations deliver content, applications, and services closer to end users while maintaining security and scalability.
