After implementing threat intelligence with Azure Firewall, we were able to reduce attacks by 60 to 70 percent, and our machines were more free to handle the correct user traffic from real people.
Azure Firewall integrates with Azure services to provide seamless security for resources, offering robust DDoS protection, threat intelligence, and traffic filtering. It is auto-scalable and simplifies centralized filtering, reducing management costs. However, it lacks features like IDS, IPS, TLS inspection, app ID, and DNS security, and its pricing may not be competitive. The onboarding process for on-premises users could be improved with better export-import capabilities for firewall rules.
