I'd give Azure Front Door an eight out of ten. If you're interested in using Azure Front Door for the first time, you can understand what CDN is. There are different CDNs available within Azure. You can also check the Azure Load Balancer and proceed with Azure Front Door. It will be a step-by-step process. It was easy for me as a beginner to learn to use it.
During our discussion with the internal Microsoft team about assessing our environment, they confirmed that we have sufficient security measures, especially regarding edge protection. Internally, we believe we are now certified. In the future, we could consider adding layer four protection from the firewall. Front Door combines CDN and WAF protection, so further enhancing its features could benefit both the customer and us. We monitor the number of users attempting to access our IP or DNS servers. When designing the system, we initially needed to ensure our environment was protected with a WAF. However, WAF is currently too costly for us, so we created private links and connected them to Front Door. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
We have to undergo a security evaluation. Without the rules, we wouldn't have passed the evaluation. The solution has helped us save time and money. We do not have to go through a whole build process and deployment to inject the security headers we need. We can add a rule and inject it simply. I recommend the product to others. The solution is great for my use case. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
The advice would be to understand the context first, your situation, whether your final customers require a solution like Front Door, the budget of your project and so on. So based on that information, you can make a choice if you need to use the Front Door. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

We often go to organizations that use a third-party service, especially when it comes to backup, monitoring, and things like that. I recommend Microsoft to them because their solutions are burned into the fabric of services. I generally carry out a proof of concept for our customers in terms of monitoring, scalability, reliability and pricing. Most customers generally switch to Azure after that. I always recommend Microsoft services. This product is very good and I rate it nine out of 10.

They concentrated on Layer 7. If you go to the portal, you'll see that they put the load balancer in just one service, whether it is Application Gateway, Azure Load Balancer, or Front Door. They then ask you a question: "Do you want local, regional, or global?" and they will tell you which one to choose. However, you could use the web application firewall with Front Door without needing it. If you are worried about the traffic going out from your infrastructure—if there is anything malicious there—the web application firewall will not do TLS. It's just for incoming traffic. That's what Azure Firewall does.

We are a Microsoft partner. We implement a lot of products from Microsoft for our customers. We're a partner specializing in Azure and therefore we implement many features that Azure has. We implement Azure Front Door and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway. Usually, Azure is a public cloud. We deploy only Azure. We don't deploy anything on-prem and so we deploy AWS specifically only in the Azure cloud. A lot of our clients these days are moving over to the cloud, and we are assisting with that process. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
Azure Front Door is employed for securing external traffic, global load balancing, integrating web application firewalls, enabling disaster recovery, and enhancing application accessibility.
Organizations leverage Azure Front Door to support data publishing, act as a CDN, and ensure low latency for global users. Clients use it to protect numerous internet-accessible applications, integrate with DNS, and implement custom routes. Favored for caching web content and securely, efficiently...
