Azure CDN vs MaxCDN: What are the differences?

Developers describe Azure CDN as "A global CDN solution for delivering high-bandwidth content". It lets you reduce load times, save bandwidth, and speed responsiveness—whether you’re developing or managing websites or mobile apps, or encoding and distributing streaming media, gaming software, firmware updates, or IoT endpoints. On the other hand, MaxCDN is detailed as "Our CDN makes your site load faster!". The MaxCDN Content Delivery Network efficiently delivers your site’s static file through hundreds of servers instead of slogging through a single host. This "smart route" technology distributes your content to your visitors via the city closest to them.

Azure CDN and MaxCDN belong to "Content Delivery Network" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Azure CDN are:

  • Acceleration Data Transfer
  • Deep integration
  • Multiple providers

On the other hand, MaxCDN provides the following key features:

  • We Make You Fast- With our fast-growing network of multiple PoP locations in all parts of the globe, we mirror your content and deliver it to the neared location to your visitors. It isn't just our network that is fast, but with our state-of-art hardware, fast RAM and SSD storage, content is served at lightning fast speeds.
  • We Have Your Back- To ensure that you do not have any downtime, we have deployed redundant networks and intelligent routing that ensures selecting an alternative route if a network pathway is down.
  • We Help You Rank- Using MaxCDN will help you improve your website speed, and since this is now a ranking factor used by Google and other search engines for deciding search results, deploying MaxCDN will help you rank better, giving you more traffic.

According to the StackShare community, MaxCDN has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1030 company stacks & 479 developers stacks; compared to Azure CDN, which is listed in 4 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
