Pros

Ease of management with good UI for making rules and behaviors.
There is also an API and Code integration for the advanced Dev-Ops team to use as well.

Cons

The learning curve on using a CDN is steep and requires class time. The initial onboarding and integration with the business' DevOps teams should be a bit closer relationship.
Global vs. Regional management can be a bit challenging if your account is centralized overseas, and you want a local time-zone account manager on your time.

Return on Investment

Improved conversion rates.
Reduced page load times.
