Medianova vs CDN77
Medianova includes WAF and edge image optimization as standard. CDN77 offers neither
MENA and Turkey Performance

Security Included
Every Medianova plan includes WAF and DDoS with no extra contract. On CDN77, DDoS is standard, but web application firewalls require a separate vendor.
A Named Engineer From Day One
Medianova assigns a named L2/L3 engineer to your account from day one, for the life of the contract. CDN77 gives access to a shared engineering pool on Slack.

Performance Across MENA and Turkey
Medianova places PoPs at the highest-latency points across MENA: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and North Africa. CDNPerf ranks Medianova top-tier for this region. CDN77 runs 200 PoPs across 130 countries, strong at global scale but thinner across MENA. For teams serving Istanbul, Riyadh, or Cairo, the difference is measurable.
See performance data: cdnperf.comWAF and DDoS in One Plan
Medianova bundles a WAF built on DPDK architecture that intercepts layer 7 attack traffic at the edge, alongside full DDoS protection, in every plan. CDN77 includes volumetric DDoS. Application-layer attacks require a separate security vendor. One Medianova contract covers delivery and security, with no scrubbing center and no second vendor.
Start a 14-day trialA Named Engineer From Day One
Medianova assigns one named L2/L3 engineer to your account from the first day of your trial. That engineer handles configuration questions, joins your performance review call, and manages the DNS cutover when you switch. CDN77 gives Slack access to a shared L2/L3 engineering pool. The Medianova 14-day trial includes 1TB of free traffic and that same named engineer throughout.

No self-serve cutover. A dedicated Medianova engineer handles DNS, performance baselines, and the first traffic test during your trial.
Questions people ask
Is Medianova a good alternative to CDN77?
Yes. Medianova covers the same video and media delivery use cases as CDN77 and adds built-in WAF, stronger MENA and Turkey coverage, and a named engineer on your account. CDN77 has a larger global network. Medianova wins on regional depth, security bundling, and dedicated support.
How long does a migration take?
Most migrations complete in the same business day. A Medianova engineer lowers the DNS TTL, runs a parallel traffic test, and confirms origin performance before the full cutover. Live streaming setups and multi-origin configurations may take longer.
Can I run both side by side while I switch?
Yes. Most teams route 10 to 20 percent of traffic to Medianova during the trial period to compare latency and cache hit rates before committing. Your Medianova engineer configures this during the proof of concept.
How does Medianova compare to CDN77?
Medianova pricing is based on your traffic volume and product mix. The right comparison is total cost: CDN plus WAF plus support tier. Teams running CDN77 alongside a separate security vendor often find the bundled Medianova stack more cost-effective. Get a quote after your 14-day trial.
What support do I get during the switch?
A named L2/L3 engineer is assigned to your account from the first day of the trial. They handle configuration questions, the performance review, and the DNS cutover itself. Reachable on Slack or Microsoft Teams throughout.
