"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."
"The solution is good."
"It inspects the traffic at the network level before it comes into Azure. We can do SSL offloading, and it can detect abnormalities before the traffic comes into the application. It can be used globally and is easy to set up. It is also quite stable and scalable."
"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."

"The product needs to improve its latency."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."

As a new user or beginner, it took us a little bit of time to figure out how to put all these things in place."
