Pros
"Rules Engine is a valuable feature.""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. This is to connect clients around the world.""I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively.""The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable.""The web application firewall is a great feature.""You can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door.""Has a great application firewall and we like the security."

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