Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Content Delivery Network? To get immediate help, you need to buy a help plan beginning from 29 USD every month. Costs in different suppliers like Backblaze B2 are less expensive (around 0.005 USD per GB/month) for Standard access All the diverse stockpiling choices wind up being confounding. It's not straight-forward for a tenderfoot to realize when to utilize Blob administration over File administration, for instance.

Software Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/27/2020 "A flexible and affordable platform for cloud computing services." 4/5 What do you like best about Azure Content Delivery Network? There's a lot of great stuff about Azure. but one of my favorites is the speed at which you can boost up new websites, servers, or even digital devices is incredible. In moments, you can do what it takes you time to do on-page. It is also very easy to set up connectivity between services. There are options inside each integrated object that you can customize. These options make it much easier to easily customize your services in the best way possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Content Delivery Network? What I like least about this system is that I feel it has a very straightforward and clear pricing structure. It's really hard to work out what a new change is going to do to affect your subscription pricing. You've got to assume a little of what you think is going to happen or where you think you're going to find out how you can afford to upgrade more options. It should not be like this. The interface still leaves a lot of room for improvement. They've just upgraded it, but it's probably contributing to the ambiguity. There are so many boxes and flyouts to explore, it's difficult to find out what tools you're accessing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Azure Content Delivery Network solving and how is that benefiting you? It's a great experience to use Microsoft Azure.

Without Azure, I would not have been able to handle our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite MT Munyimwa T.

We started using Azure CDN by a requirement that made the department eCommerce company. To use one of the platforms where we published our online stores we requested that the images were hosted on a dedicated server images to display them properly froma web. For this reason we decided to use Azure CDN, to thereby have two advantages: having its own image storage service in the cloud plus all the benefits of a CDN network. Having the images distributed according to the proximity of the user, the platform achieved a much higher performance, allowing our customers to access the images of our products much faster.
