"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is easy to configure."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"We use the product for faster content delivery with low latency."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that one can access Windows Azure CDN from anywhere."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."

"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."

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."
