""Azure Front Door is secure, scalable, and billed per-use basis.""
4.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Front Door?

Azure Front Door speeded up our web access to public portals and websites. It checks network traffic before entering Azure. SSL offloading and abnormal traffic detection are possible. It is pretty reliable and easy to scale. We have customer and company web apps. Specifically, we were looking for a CDN that could provide the following— CDN with numerous POP locations— the capacity of the Web App Firewall— a rules engine for restricting particular access patterns— backend accessibility across various data centers, and cloud regions. We tested a few CDNs and Azure Front Door; Front Door was cheaper to set up and maintain and had all the needed features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Front Door?

Microsoft needs to clarify what each of its products—Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door—does. Some good features are there, but it would be nice if it supported more backend services and WAF rules out of the gate. According to my experience, transferring the request to another resource takes a little longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
