Ali Kazempour Senior Professional Services Consultant Manager Chose Azure CDN More user friendly and it’s so easy to learn, the prices may be close to each other, but the service is excellent. Incentivized Helpful?

Erik Ralston Chief Architect Chose Azure CDN Azure CDN is certainly the favorite when you're already working in Azure like us.

Pros	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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).

Alternatives Considered	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.

Return on Investment	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.
