Microsoft Azure Reviews

the free trial they offer for new users to test their services and get to know their quality and have an in-depth sight of the services they offer

needs to be expertly managed and maintained, expertise is a requirement

Expansive product covering almost every application that you could need to implement in the cloud.

Hard to get into Azure and learn the tools from zero knowledge.

Easy integration with MS products and security features are good.

Too complex, my team struggled in beginning when we faced any issue.

I can access all my clients databases easily.

Sometimes can be slow and freezes up which is frustrating.

There is a wide variety of components, ranging from Infrastructure as a Sevice (IaaS) to Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). You can get a project or a pilot up and running in minutes, with everything you need, in a modular way. The services I find more useful (apart virtual machines) are Application Insights and Docker Image Registries, two components that tipically take a lot of effort to set up on premises.

Unfortunately if you have Azure bulk credits because you participate in some Microsoft programs, there is currently no way to set budget alerts or thresholds, so you must keep an eye on usage. Also, OpenAI costs are still high compared to competition.

We can create VM, also can manage Paas,Saas,Iaas services through azure

Pricing model and features not like AWS services.

The UI presentation in addition to ease of integration with other applications

I have not found any downside so far. Azure has been helpful in my place of work.

Ability to quickly deploy cloud infrastructure and scale as needed

Inconsistent UI and automation options across different services.

CosmoDB is a terrible service, lots features missing from UI and needs a service request. Very expensive.

Stability of services poor, I get alerts for failures of Azure services almost every week

It is reable and personnalizing for cloud scaleble. I’ll mention the ability to host products with no issues and security

It spends a lot of money for corners with no strategies of credit management

Among all the providers of cloud computing, we agreed to settle with the most prominent of them all. Azure provide us with robust data storage and management . It help us securely store and retrieve our large quantities of data including images and documents. Azure SQL provide us with a scalable relational database and Cosmos help handle complex and diverse data. Azure has amazingly integrated with AI and Machine learning which enable us leverage deep analytics and automation. ML models, allow us to gain valuable insights from our data and in-built AI models help with tasks such as speech recognition. Microsoft Azure provide a unified visibility of our environments. Allowing us to monitor and manage our diverse data sources. The OMS, offer security to our hybrid environment. With threat intelligence, patch management and malware detector, it has streamlined our operations and improved security of our networks. Azure integrates with our infrastructure which has enabled us to run azure in our own hardware saving us hardware cost. We have leveraged PaaS function which enable us publish and manage our websites effectively.

Microsoft Azure is complex. From right on deployment to using it.

In Microsoft Azure, setting up you initial cloud environment quite easy. Microsoft Azure also provide a professional support if you needed help

Microsoft Azure can be complicated sometimes. With so many services and features, it's confusing which services is the best approach for different kind of scenarios.

Plethora of features, cloud services you ened to setup your application , environment , labs and whatnot

Sometimes with so many services and features at your disposal , it takes time to get acquainted with the product.

Microsoft Azure is a leading cloud platform known for its affordable yet high-quality services. Widely adopted by large organizations, it stands out for its intuitive user interface, making it simple to navigate, manage, and deploy various cloud solutions.

I don’t have any major dislikes about Azure, but certain services, such as Application Gateway can be relatively expensive.

The main differentiator aspects in this tool is design development. It is quite efficient in that. Validation, prototyping and simulation can be done at any stages of the design. It has enabled continuous improvement and proficiency with the techniques and technologies. Over time, quality and efficiency are realized.

Configuration was not easy for me. It took me a while to interface the tool with my operations but eventually made it. It is working well.

There are a wide range of solutions available, and it is very flexible.

It's a learning curve, and sometimes things are not very intuitive.

It integrates very easily with other Microsoft products.

The Bastion concept was very confusing given that it's a managed service that still has to interact with a virtual meeting, instead of just being a virtual machine that users could manage.

Azure Cloud CLI
ARM Templates (ease for deploying resources
All in one solution
Excellent Learn site
Best coverage over MEA region

Pricing packages are expensive if you don't use Azure aligned resources. Postgres Databases cost more for hosting than Azure SQL which is strange since one is open source and the other licensed on prem.

Entra ID where I can handle every single user under in my enterprise environment.

App registrations is not really intuitive

Microsoft Azure provides many different ways to deploy your application on the cloud without managing and worry about underlying infrastructure everything will be managed on Azure data center.

till not i didn't find any thing to dislike about azure as i am using azure from long time this is the best cloud platform which i like the most.
