    • I found the CDN very easy to setup and configure within the Azure Portal.
    • Being Azure, there are plenty of free tools that allow you to manage the CDN from a UI that is not the portal. This was especially handy when I trained end users how to manage content within their specific realm.

    • Tough learning curve--you have to be comfortable with the Azure Cloud logic and UI to use it easily
    • Special or uncommon use cases' pricing can be hard to forecast/follow
    • Can be expensive for simple use cases

    More user friendly and it’s so easy to learn, the prices may be close to each other, but the service is excellent.

    • Azure CDN reduced origin instance load by removing the need to constantly serve large numbers of static files, meaning applications can be deployed with smaller/fewer instances.
    • Azure CDN reduces apparent load times to customers by serving cached files out of POPs in the local region of those clients, instead of requiring those clients to make multiple, lengthy requests through to the origin servers.
