Our Verdict

Legacy Chinese CDN with brand history but shaky financials, pick newer rivals like Wangsu for greenfield work.

Pros

  • 120+ city coverage across mainland
  • Live streaming and object storage bundled
  • Established government and media clients

Cons

  • Financial troubles and delisting history
  • Lost ground to Alibaba, Tencent, and Wangsu
  • Inconsistent support experiences reported
  • Aging platform versus modern edge clouds
Best for: Legacy contracts inside China with existing ChinaCache relationships Not for: New deployments needing modern edge compute and reliable financial backing
