Azure is a fantastic all round cloud platform offering a host of features. The Azure basic load balancer provides a simple load balancing service but it is not a true ADC and as such lacks many of the key features such as Application aware health checking that is required for reliable always on application delivery.

Overall (4.9/5)
Ease of Use (5/5)
Customer Service (4.9/5)
"Very easy to deploy and configure, good clustering features. Was under a lot of pressure to complete work with tight timescales and can say we have a HA load balancer on a Nutanix system working very well."
