"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that one can access Windows Azure CDN from anywhere.""The fact that it just delivers what it is supposed to do is its most valuable feature...The initial setup is very straightforward.""I enjoy engaging in discussions with colleagues possessing unique expertise. I leverage the three platforms—Azure, Google, and AWS extensively. This allows me to offer diverse solutions to customers, commonly referred to as a multi-cloud approach.""It is a stable solution.""One of the tool's best features is its ability to handle edge cases. For instance, we encountered a situation where we needed to remove certain files from public access. The solution offered a purge feature that allowed us to remove these files. This feature ensured that the files were deleted from all edge servers. Subsequently, we were able to upload new versions of the files.""One of the most valuable aspects is the capability to store extensive datasets and objects in the cloud, enabling their download through shared access signatures.""The most valuable feature of Windows Azure CDN is its effectiveness.""The UI is very intuitive."

Cons
"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."

More IBM Cloud Video Cons →

"I believe Windows Azure CDN can improve monitoring and measuring overall end-user performance. Providing monitoring tools or agents that can be integrated into our pages would be highly beneficial. Setting up a custom domain with Windows Azure CDN involves proving domain ownership, which can take some time. The process is relatively straightforward if your DNS or domain registrar is already integrated with Microsoft. However, the verification process may be more time-consuming if you use a different service provider.""Exploring shared access solutions with cloud accounts would be a beneficial choice.""I aim to enhance the reporting.""We have experienced issues with switch connectivity.""The response time of the support team must be improved.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""There were a few bugs that were very disappointing. So, that is a part of the reason why we started using Fastly.""They should include configuration for cache rules."
