We chose Azure Front Door primarily because of its seamless integration into the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. Since a large part of our infrastructure is already running in Azure, using a native service for CDN and reverse proxy functionality made the overall architecture much simpler. Azure Front Door allows us to expose our services globally while staying within the Azure platform, which improves manageability and consistency. While it does not offer as many additional features as some competitors, it provides a solid and reliable foundation for delivering public services. Currently we are using Azure Front Door for all our relevant Azure Apllications and another CDN for the rest of our Applications or Applications where we need avanced CDN capabilities

My experience is positive, especially when used in environments that are already heavily invested in Microsoft Azure. Its integration with Azure services makes set up and management relatively straightforward, and it works well for standard content delivery needs tied to Azure-hosted applications. However, it feels more like an extension of the Azure platform than a best of breed stand alone CDN. It performs well for typical use cases but is not always the first choice for highly complex or globally demanding scenarios.
