Pro Very affordable
CloudFlare offers a free plan with basic DDoS protection and promises to always provide a free service with at least the feature set that it has today. More advanced DDoS protection is available for the higher plans, which can be added as your needs grow.
Con Practices Man-in-the-Middle certificate forgery
Https ("secure") comunications with sites using CloudFlare are intercepted at their servers, decrypted and recrypted with CloudFlare's certificates. This poses huge problem with what users perceive as safe communication - browsers fail to display notice about MitM taking place.
Con Lowers usability of the web for Tor users
Tor users are required to enter captcha at each site using CloudFlare. In some circumstances, this introduces unsolvable roadblock.
Con Relies on intrusive captcha screens to validate visitors
During large attacks, Cloudflare will block users with captcha screens to filter out malicious attacks. Albeit effective, they cause a considerable annoyance to legitimate users.
Pro Transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing
Traffic prices are as low as $0.04/GB and volume pricing starts at 10TB/month.
Pro HTTP/2 Support
One of the 1st providers to support HTTP/2
Con Config changes take 5-10 minutes
Any config change is queued for several minutes before being applied, without any time estimate. Combined with caching and DNS delays, it can make debugging a bit more difficult.
Pro Dynamic scaling
CloudFront will allocate more hardware resources when needed automatically. It will take care of traffic spikes and accommodate product's growth without needing manual input from the user.
Pro 100% uptime
MaxCDN promises an uptime of 100%.

Pro Lots of dedicated bandwidth specifically for DDoS absorption
Through Prolexic's PLXedge, Akamai provides their customers with a total of 2.3 Tbps of dedicated DDoS absorption bandwidth.
Pro Any type of content
Static, dynamic and streaming content delivery.
Con Expensive
Akami's services cost more than triple comparative packages from other security companies. At 13k a month for DDoS protection, there are many other choices out there that cost less for the same protection.
Con Slower security rule propagation
Because of Akamai's large CDN structure, it can take some time for security rules to propagate, making it harder to adjust security responses on the fly.
Pro Multi-CDN
jsDelivr uses multiple CDN providers resulting in better uptime and performance.
Pro Free and open source
jsDelivr offers free CDN services for developers.

Pro Cost-effective monthly plans
You can choose between Pay-As-You-Go and Worldwide Monthly Plans - with fixed price for all locations, starting at $19/TB it's the best price I have found.
Pro Very easy to use
CDN77 is organized into a few tabs (dashboard, CDN, reports, support), which can quickly be accessed through buttons top dead center of the page. Setting it up is very easy as well, with just a few basic steps - create your storage, show CDN77 where your files are, then start using it.
Con Doesn't allow for much user-customization
CDN77 lacks any advanced configuration options, making it a poor choice for any users wanting to do anything out-of-the-norm.
Pro HTTP/2 Support
Supports HTTP/2 ON SSL connections
Con It's a bit hard to use a Let's Encrypt certificate
It only lets you to use Let's Encrypt with Push, and to use it with Pull you need to create one manually from your computer.
Pro 30-day trial
CacheFly offers a 30-day trial.
Know any negative aspects of this option?
Pro Flat pricing
Easy to understand the pricing of their CDNs.
Pro Free WAF and DDoS
Hard to beat the value for some security and CDN.
Con Not many services yet
Not really a con, just really good secure content delivery right now, but hopefully they will add more services soon.

Pro Intelligently recognizes bots to counter layer 7 attacks
Incapsula has a bot recognition engine to achieve a low rate of false positives on layer 7 attacks. These attacks are notoriously hard to detect as they are designed to look like regular network traffic. Their always on recognition solution automatically triggers layer 7 protection without user i...
Pro Protects non-web assets
Incapsula has an extra layer of DDoS protection that also protects subnet network infrastructure, like FTP and email.
Con Enterprise package pricing not listed
Potential enterprise customers will need to call Incapsula to find out the pricing for their enterprise plans as they are not listed on the site and appear to be priced on a case by case basis.
Con Scripting language and rules for IncapRules has steep learning curve
While there is a rules editor that offers a shortcut into rule definition, the learning curve to master how to utilize in full IncapRules is pretty steep.
