What do you like best about Azure Front Door?

We used this tool to support our complex application usage in our vehicles. We needed better performance and reiability and the capability to continuously scale up. We noticed that as we collected more data from our drivers, it was easier to use the tool to scale without many hiccups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Front Door?

One of the issues that we hit at the time was capability to retrieve data faster and this is we stalled and it required more configuration and throttling of data to be able to get the faster retreival of data using the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Front Door solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to use the tool to retrieve data from vehicles faster and be able to generate the appropriate reports and metrics to help us understand diagnostic issues that may be present in the vehicle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Front Door:

Azure Front Door: Costly, but a better performance choice. It works, and I suggest you can try it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Front Door solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's possible to redirect traffic to multiple Azure apps from different locations using Azure Front Door. We secure sites with Azure Front Door WAF rules. Better user experience and functionality are provided by HTTP/HTTPS routing. Use a CDN to ensure that your web applications are always accessible worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
