Azure Front Door Valuable Features

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.
People generally like it better than Traffic Manager because of its application firewall. We like the security, the termination, inspection, and other such features. Their 7 support is a valuable feature; this is not a DNS router.
View full review »I find the WAF policy to be exceptionally valuable as it adds a layer of security protection to our applications. I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively. From a performance standpoint, users can connect to the Front Door, and the load balancer directs them to the nearest origin location. This aspect has been a key factor in enhancing our user experience with Azure Front Door, making it a scalable solution that positively impacts performance.

It works perfectly and you can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door.
While Front Door works on Layer 7, Traffic Manager works on Layers 3 and 4, and is mainly a DNS router. You can use either one. But, if you have web applications, Front Door can provide you with a much richer toolset, especially when it comes to security, directing traffic, and rewriting the header and the URL.

Rules Engine is a valuable feature. It is pretty easy to understand. It helps us to enforce HTTPS. We are also able to set up content security policies. Injecting the response headers for the content security policies is helpful. It prevents malicious intents. We basically tell the browser to only allow content from acceptable locations.
The most valuable feature for me is the web application firewall included in the product. The solution is easily customized.

The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable.
The ease of the implementation is a helpful aspect. It's really, really vital. It's very easy to implement for our customers. We simply handle the first phase and Microsoft does all the rest. The cloud makes it easy. The deployment is fast.

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.
