    • Control access to critical enterprise resources by business role, device type, and location, so policy changes can be made without redesigning the network.
    • Easily manage access control and segmentation while maintaining compliance.
    • Create and manage policies in an easy-to-use matrix.
    • Reduce the need for costly network re-architecture by automating firewall rules and access control list (ACL) administration.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    • Reduce operational expenses by simplifying network segmentation and defining security groups based on business roles, not IP addresses.
    • Limit the impact of a data breach by quickly isolating and containing threats using technology already in your network.

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

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • 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.
