### "10/10" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *14 November 2022* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Varnish takes a group approach to content management, with a thorough analysis of the proposed website text. Varnish also provides proper optimization, which is why many people turn to us when they need a high Internet ranking. In addition, Varnish creates a reasonable traffic analysis scope, which advises businesses on the volume of their clientele.

### "Ultra reliable and efficient" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *4 January 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Varnish is probably the only component in the full enterprise tech stack that has never failed in 7 years, its ultra reliable, I love the hot reload of configuration to allow changes with zero disruption to existing traffic.&#10;Varnish has been known to run for more than 18 months between restarts/reboots with no performance degradation.
> 
> **Cons**: My biggest problem was figuring out to filter out the debug output to capture just the data I was interested in. It really wasn't a problem at all, its all in the documentation.
> 
> Overwhelmingly positive; its reliable, efficient and does exactly what we need it to.

### "Varnish Cluster @ MTG" — 5.0/5

> **ALEX** | *17 July 2020* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a robust product, once that is set, you can forget about it. It just works without any further interventions. &#10;Awesome management interface, very easy to use and very intuitive.
> 
> **Cons**: Not about software but about how it can be deployed. Some scripts samples can be offered in Terraform or Cloudformation to build a working cluster instead of trying to find all the intimate details by yourself and reinvent the wheel in your own image.
> 
> The main one is moving the Varnish Layer out of individual instances where a clear cache was a pain, and have that through a unified management interface via VCAdmin console. Also it's integration with Akamai API was a very useful tool for the same clear caching reason.
