I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I work with pretty much all Azure resources, from Data Factory to OpenAI options and applications. I also use the web application firewall, Azure VPN services, and everything within Azure Suite. I haven't directly used the DDoS service, yet I use the VPN, which might include DDoS prevention. I have a team of developers who are good at troubleshooting and configuring things. I hardly use Microsoft's paid services. That said, they have been responsive. I have nothing to complain about.
I recommend developing your application to be ready for use with any web application firewall. Before full implementation, perform extensive testing to anticipate and resolve issues like false positives. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I'm a customer. Overall, I would rate the solution seven out of ten. It's quite easy to work with, and if you have to work in a lab, with solutions like GitHub, it's quite useful. They just need to understand web development.

I rate Azure Web Application Firewall eight out of 10. It's a good option if you want a solution that's ready to go and easy for your team to learn. It's cloud-based, so you don't need to buy or maintain any hardware infrastructure. I can set up a defense in the cloud that supplements my on-premise infrastructure from Palo Alto, Fortinet, etc. You already have a platform as a service or services you can add on and configure.

We're Microsoft partners. I'd recommend the solution as it is easy to understand and easy to integrate. It's very stable and we trust it as a recognized Microsoft product. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
One should be cautious when comparing it with a third party that's more into AI and machine learning. It's important to study the solution and its governance. I rate the solution eight out of 10.
