What differentiates Microsoft Azure Data Factory from other similar products?

I love the scalability and flexibility given to me when using Application Gateway

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's powerful, works as a layer 7 load balancer and provides me everything I'd need to offload SSL and load balancing to a cloud service and let's me focus on writing apps. If you don't have a domain, use Azure FrontDoor.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only downside I'd say there was for me when using Application Gateway, is you need to 100% have a domain name setup in advance and ready to use. Most features don't play well with just an IP and you can't use the azurewebsites domain either which makes sense

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Azure Application Gateway is solving a complex issue that I used to solve using manually configured reverse proxies and load balancers that needed to be setup and maintained and then ended up also becoming a single point of failure under extreme load
