Excellence in client and DDOS protection

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
As soon as we started using Microsoft Azure we noticed an easy, cheap and prolonged way to speed up and improve our website by first getting a good SSL certificate that would allow us to improve our online security from the start. There is synchronization with many CDN and SSL certificates and the IP has a lot of security which makes it not violable under any circumstances. It is unpredictable to use Microsoft Azure for any server usage both short and long term.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Microsoft Azure has allowed us to accelerate the connection of static content of our web page extending the connectivity with the poor connections in the databases in the dynamic content that this same one generates us. It is also easy to configure SSL to obfuscate the security of the IP with which our customers visit. Microsoft Azure allows us an alternate DNS connection to the one we have making everything work quite fast and well.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Microsoft Azure needs optimizations enabled on some of the pages that are configured because sometimes the DNS is not secure and it crashes quite often. The back-end process needs to be configured separately as it does not allow to schedule a timeout of less than 300 seconds and sometimes we think that Microsoft Azure is not the solution to what we want now.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Microsoft Azure is the most scalable. The solution's monitoring capabilities allow us to more efficiently configure elements in our customer's environment. Azure cloud-based solutions are available in virtually any language, operating system or location in the world. Its multi-factor authentication helps make data more secure. In addition, you can log in to cloud applications on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices using single sign-on. Some advanced configuration options require research, experimentation and enhanced documentation. Microsoft's complicated licensing model is not suitable for most users.

- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Efficient Service
