"The fact that it just delivers what it is supposed to do is its most valuable feature...The initial setup is very straightforward.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that one can access Windows Azure CDN from anywhere.""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.""It is a stable solution.""The most valuable feature of Windows Azure CDN is its effectiveness."

Cons
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules.""In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price.""The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."

More Verizon EdgeCast Cons →

"Exploring shared access solutions with cloud accounts would be a beneficial choice.""The high price of Windows Azure CDN is an area of concern where improvements can be made.""There were a few bugs that were very disappointing. So, that is a part of the reason why we started using Fastly.""I aim to enhance the reporting.""The response time of the support team must be improved.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""We have experienced issues with switch connectivity.""They should include configuration for cache rules."
