Azure CDN vs. Cloudimage

Azure CDN has at hand an infinity of applications and tools to implement in your system and have better control of your data in a clean and secure platform on the web, we recommend this program since the percentage of solutions provided by this program is very high and find a way to make each user's job easier.

Use it if you have a ton of source images and need many transformations. Don't use it if you only want to serve a few image[s] to a very very large number of users (CDN bandwidth costs)

Incentivized

• New websites can be boosted up quickly
• Easily scalable according to our performance requirements
• Easy integration with other Azure services
• You only pay for what you need

Incentivized

• Image manipulation
• Connecting to self hosted servers
• Delivers images to the browser

• For the longest time they didn't have a robust SDK. They have one now, but it could be better.
• The different flavors of Azure CDN (Akamai, Verizon, etc) have different costs, but not well differentiated features. Might be confusing to new users.
• I'm not overly familiar with it, but AWS does have a programmability in their CDN offering (Lambda @ Edge) and Azure doesn't seem to have an equivalent (Azure Functions is region-specific).

Incentivized

• Having tiers based either more on source cache / CDN bandwidth (for some persons)

I give it 9/10 rating because it solved my problem by Caching my website content on global servers to load faster.

Great support from the team whenever we're stuck. Very proactive in resolving issues and also making changes as per the requirements of the organization.

Incentivized

We have a single contact point, but CI has been immaculate with their support offering. Instantaneous and comprehensive.

We did not evaluate any other CDN's before we selected Azure. We heavily use Azure for our development and infrastructure efforts so choosing the Azure CDN was easy. The only thing we compared it to was standing up a Windows Server VM and pointing a CDN URL to it allowing it to serve as a file server, which was much more cumbersome.

We chose Cloudimage for the value for money, and the ability to link with our own hosting.

• 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.

• Primary been a time saver!
• Saves us rolling our own solution.
• Increases conversion of the end user on average.
