Their service is great if you take money online at all. The $200/m tier plan, that is. I gather the $5,000+/m custom plans are nice if you need all the extra networking features, though way overpriced if you just need basic CDN features—which includes some kind of firewall, DDOS protection, e-commerce attack protection (e.g. anti-credit-card-stuffing) and light routing/rewriting/"worker" features at this point, all of which are quickly becoming table stakes in that market.
The free tier is great for serving low-value (that is, not enough value that you need a SLA from your vendor) static sites for pennies a month.
Having so much in one place is really nice for small shops.
But they 100% are on track to be the next Big Bad of the tech world, and they're heading that way very much on purpose. Their entire strategy for how they've positioned themselves is, transparently, bent toward making themselves the Web's #1 middle-man.
