Different names are alto useful for negatives. Someone writing about an issue with their CDN is far less useful than saying the issue occurs with Akamai.

In general I like to see brand signals: if someone I respect mentions that they use Cloudflare, that is useful information, even without further details.

Unsolicited mentions are usually useful, it's just sneaky paid advertising is bad.
