Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security.""The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable.""Rules Engine is a valuable feature.""I am impressed with the tool's integrations.""The web application firewall is a great feature.""I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively.""The most valuable feature is that you can implement resources globally. It does not depend on location and ability or something like that. This is to connect clients around the world.""You can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door."

"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to provide threat detection and protection simultaneously.""Microsoft collects trillions of signals from all over the world, which is incredibly valuable. It helps us identify zero-day vulnerabilities and global threats.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the insight it provides.""The tool is managed from the cloud, because of which the maintenance is very low.""They have a very transparent roadmap for the product.""I value how Threat Intelligence integrates with the different platforms in Microsoft.""You can use it to monitor third parties and ensure they are not under threat attacks.

Cons
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources.""This is a relatively expensive solution.""There is room for improvement and they're working on it.""The product's features are limited compared to Cloudflare. The tool also doesn't work well in a hybrid environment. I would like to see a way to add personalized APIs in the system.""There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add.""The product needs to improve its latency.""My suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the Data Export feature to include specific tables, particularly the Azure Diagnostics table.""We should be able to use Front Door defenders with multiple cloud vendors. Currently, they can be used only with the Azure cloud. Azure Front Door should also be able to do global load balancing and provide internal front door services. Microsoft should clearly define what Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door products do. These are similar products, and people get confused between these products."

More Azure Front Door Cons →

"We encounter problems connecting the product deployed on the user endpoints with the servers.""Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence should integrate with different platforms.""The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved.""It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem.""There could be AI functionality included for features like reporting and dashboard preparation.""One area where Microsoft Defender could be improved is in its support for non-Microsoft products, particularly for systems running Linux or other open-source platforms across ecosystems.""Technical support could be a bit better.""I would like to see more integration with other solutions. For example, integration well with Microsoft but not with other solutions."
