Pros
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations.""The most valuable feature is that you can implement resources globally. It does not depend on location and ability or something like that.

Cons
"The product needs to improve its latency.""There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add.""My suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the Data Export feature to include specific tables, particularly the Azure Diagnostics table.""This is a relatively expensive solution.""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 is room for improvement and they're working on it.""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.""The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."

"The solution needs an access management feature with API integration so we can assign certain levels of access within groups.""We should get the logs from the solution, and it should communicate with the local DNS.""We have a lot of unknown errors popping up in the latest version."
