Microsoft Azure Reviews - Page 2

Microsoft has been the standard for Windows machines and desktops for decades. All of our engineers and techs were more familiar and comfortable using Microsoft Azure over the competitors. The way all the permissions, configurations and features are together in one console makes everything more efficient at setting up.

The training for administrators takes too much time for them to complete. The different portals do not load all every time. There is no indication of when a process will complete when you start it.

What I like most about the platform is its broad range of cloud services, offering scalability, flexibility, and integration with other Microsoft apps and services. Its hybrid capabilities enable seamless integration between on-premises infrastructure and the cloud. Azure's strong security measures and global infrastructure provide me with peace of mind and the ability to deploy resources closer to their target audience. While desired features may vary, Azure offers enhanced monitoring, AI and machine learning services, serverless computing options, and industry-specific solutions which is basically a good idea for me.

There are areas that I have identified as potential areas for improvement. I have found Azure's complexity challenging, particularly for newcomers to cloud platforms, and cost management can be a concern due to the pricing structure and the need for careful monitoring. I will also mention the responsiveness and effectiveness of technical support as a potential area for improvement. Desired features vary depending on specific use cases, but users may desire enhancements in areas like advanced analytics, automation, monitoring, and seamless integration with third-party services. I still find certain aspects complex.

Azure es una plataforma de computación integral que ofrece una amplia gama de servicios en la nube, herramientas de desarrollo y avances en datos e inteligencia artificial. Lo que más destaco de Azure es su capacidad para adaptarse a diferentes entornos, ya sea en las instalaciones, en la nube híbrida, en múltiples nubes o en el edge. Esta flexibilidad me permite innovar en cualquier lugar y escalar mis aplicaciones según mis necesidades.

Aunque Azure ofrece una amplia gama de servicios y herramientas, puede resultar abrumador al principio debido a su gran cantidad de opciones. La curva de aprendizaje puede ser empinada, especialmente para aquellos que no tienen experiencia previa con la plataforma. Además, el soporte al cliente podría mejorar en términos de tiempos de respuesta y resolución de problemas.

Sono presenti tantissimi tipi di servizi diversi nell'offerta di MS Azure; noi usiamo le VM e lo spazio di archiviazione.

E' richiesta una base di conoscenze tecniche di livello medio/alto per la configurazione dei servizi cloud

One of the most popular features of Microsoft Azure is its scalability. Azure can easily scale up or down based on the changing needs of your business, allowing you to quickly and easily add or remove resources as required. This makes it an ideal platform for businesses with fluctuating demands, such as those in the e-commerce, gaming, or healthcare industries.Another advantage of Azure is its flexibility....

Complexity: While Azure offers a lot of flexibility and customization options, this can also make it more complex to set up and manage than some other cloud platforms. Users may need to invest more time and resources into training and support to fully take advantage of all the features.Cost: As with any cloud service, costs can add up quickly, especially if you need to scale up rapidly or store large...

Microsoft Azure is an incredibly powerful and versatile cloud computing solution. It's easy to use, highly available, and has a wide range of features and services that make it a great choice for businesses of all sizes. The scalability and automated resource management make it easy to scale up and down as needed, and the advanced security features provide peace of mind.

Microsoft Azure can be expensive for smaller businesses, and the interface can be confusing for those who are not familiar with cloud computing. Additionally, the learning curve for cloud computing can be steep, so small businesses may need to invest in additional support or training.

It offers a wide range of services and features that can be used to build, deploy, and manage applications and services. Some of the things that we commonly like about Azure include:1.The ability to easily scale and manage resources2.The wide range of services available, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking3.The security features offered, such as encryption and access controls4.The ability to easily integrate with other Microsoft products and services5.The ease of deployment and management of applications6.The global network of data centers that provide high availability and disaster recovery options.7.It is also preferred by organizations for its compliance certifications, which makes it secure and reliable for storing sensitive data.

The pricing for certain services to be on the higher side, and the complexity of the platform can make it difficult for some users to navigate and manage their resources.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for a few years now and I must say, I am absolutely in love with it. It’s user-friendly and provides a wide range of services to help me develop a variety of applications and accelerate my business. What I like most about Microsoft Azure is the scalability that it provides. It’s easy to scale up or down depending on the needs of your application or business and the...

The one thing I don’t like about Microsoft Azure is that it can be difficult to find the exact resources or tutorials I need to get started with a particular task. I’ve had to spend a lot of time researching and experimenting to find the right solution for my needs. It would be great if the documentation was more complete and up to date.

J'apprécie la une variété de services tels que le stockage, les bases de données, l'analyse, les réseaux virtuels, le développement d'applications, l'Internet des objets et bien plus encore.

Pour ce qui est de mon expérience les coûts peuvent varier et devenir élevés, en particulier pour les utilisateurs qui utilisent beaucoup de ressources ou qui ont des besoins de conformité réglementaire stricts.et aussi le support technique de Microsoft Azure peut varier en qualité et il peut être difficile de obtenir de l'aide rapide pour les problèmes critiques.

La facilidad del frontend gráfico y su granularidad. Tenemos todo lo necesario para subir nuestro CPD físico en la nube, y trabajar cómodamente sin preocuparse por el hardware. Tiene funciones muy potentes y una alta configuración para el detalle más mínimo.

Hay tantas opciones que es abrumador. Puede que te dejes algo por el camino, por lo que tendrás que se muy meticuloso. Al tener todo el ecosistema de Microsoft que antes podías tener en tu CPD físico, puede ser muy complejo para técnicos que no estén familiarizados con la nube.

Azure provides a bundle of services on cloud and also enable use to pull our on-premise resources via private link to leverage continuous services over hybrid cloud. Best monitoring and support services are provided by Azure. I love their ways to secure an account. They have one of the best RBAC - Role based access control service on all the resources.It is damn easy to learn Azure (prepare for AZ-900). They protext our data inline with GDPR standard and they are awesome when it comes to meeting SLAs.

Azure services are undoubtedly best, but somewhere the resources deployed in West Europe regions face a lot of outages and Azure does not maintain a rich alert management service, I believe they have room to improve their health monitoring and alerting. Also the cost estimator is not accurate, overspending is always a concern for vendor's customers.

I love where you can use boards to put tasks and hours. I also love where you can edit the categories where you can put custom categories like Pre-Deployment, Test Environment, UAT Environment, and etc. which is really convenient for us, especially when you want to know where the issues on the software already is whether it's deployed on a specific environment, fixed, or even it undergone testing.

Sometimes Azure is very big and can be overwhelming but once you get your hands on it, you can navigate it with ease.

The platform is very professional and requires good technical knowledge, its free period of use is one year and you just have to pay for it. During the last three decades, due to the obvious advantages of Microsoft in the field of business computer science, Microsoft is quickly updating. Your work is relatively easy. In addition to providing recovery, import and export sites, and Azure backup, Microsoft...

You must when it is a bit difficult to configure, and some services are not available.

The Azure portal is the home of many functions. The fact that this web-based portal houses so much functionality and administrative work can make it easily accessible from anywhere with internet. You no longer have to be in our firm's network. Generally it was a smooth transition to Azure from standard Windows servers, though there were some learning points and growing pains. Mostly it seemed to boil down to knowing/learning which option to select or how to configure. It also has fairly good monitoring and visualizations to help keep track of administrative tasks. Speed of going from nothing to having a new server is much faster than it used to be, as are scalable adjustments. Staying with the Microsoft stack, integration was the standard level of difficulty.

While monitoring is good, alerting and actual push notifications seem to be lacking. This means you have to know where to look and do so to find out if anything is wrong. We've had to figure out other tools and custom alerting to handle certain scenarios. Some things that are supposed to work seem to have the occasional quirk, like a windows update. Only 1 sticks out as being a huge critical issue, but Microsoft fixed it after getting to the right person. I've seen (what I think are) some unexplained networking hiccups, all of which resolve themselves with no IT user effort. But I don't know some of those pieces, and may be over speaking. The only one that affects me directly is that I occasionally see a 'sephamore timeout' when connecting to SQL server.

It can do so many things... after 2 years of using this product I think I still haven't touched half of what's possible. It makes creating API's, flows, queues, logging a lot easier, since the boring stuff (maintaining the tools that allows that functionality) is taken care of. Also, the support is great. There are many learning paths and they're all very easy to follow.

Azure is very chaotic. A cloud solution almost always incorporates some kind of API environment. For an API environment it's really important that it follows some kind of domain driven architecture. After creating hundreds of API's, you really want to be able to categorize the API's according to your organization's enterprise domain architecture, otherwise it gets really hqrd to search through hundreds...

Microsoft went all out to develop the one-stop shop for enterprise development. Azure has everything you need to succeed when it comes to development, deploying, staging, maintaining, and monitoring. Microsoft has gone the extra mile to make sure all steps have their own respective software or portal to ensure maximum fluid integration. When it all works, it works very very well. You won't be needing...

When something did break, Microsoft's support is slow at best. No matter what the urgency, it always took an extra push or kick to really get Microsoft's attention. Regardless of the severity of any issue found, I believe that Microsoft should really look into understanding their client's impact and not just determine severity based on their outlook (no pun intended). Azure overall is great and this is really the only significant issue I have found. Also, the Azure suite is nothing you can learn over night but given the amount of features and capabilities, it may take some time to learn it all. I will say that it is similar to other tools and software used in the same field so it makes it easier but if you want to use its true potential, it will still take time to learn.

Its design is pleasant and intuitive. It is easy to use and is a reliable great tool for my cloud storage needs. I like that it is easy to store all kinds of data and data drop extensions. It is truly an excellent online storage program. It allows the sharing of large videos and graphics, which are difficult to send by e-mail, thanks to this feature, it perfectly supports the workflow and contributes...

I haven't had any bad experience with Azure, I am very satisfied.

I have discovered the best use for Azure is to off site the IT equipment for framework, So now IT can have the group off site as well as now that off site group doesn't need to stress over the servers being moved by workers messing around in the system closets.Allowing whole organizations to be overseen off site.

Lacking options for life cycle management. - Some of the capacities just work in the great gateway. The unwavering quality of the administrations relies upon the innovative and monetary limit of the suppliers of administrations in the cloud. The data of the organization must experience various hubs to arrive at its goal, every one of them (and its channels) are a wellspring of frailty. The centralization...

I have found the best use for Azure is to off site the IT hardware for infrastructure, So now IT can not only have the team off site but now that off site team doesn't have to worry about the servers being touched by employees messing around in the network closets.Allowing entire companies to be managed off site.

Price on VMs, non transparent price, ease to setup redundancy...

There are a ton of amazing points about Azure. The ease of which you can spool up new websites, databases, or even entire virtual machines is incredible. You can do in minutes what would take you hours to do on site. Setting up communication between resources is also quite easy. Inside each installed item (website, VM, SQL Server, etc.), there will be options that you can configure. These options make it very easy to quickly configure your resources in a way that is best. Not sure what you should do for setup? No problem. There are usually only a few pages of options, so it is easy enough to click through each page and read them (and their associated help). That allows for a much better experience for even novice Azure users.

I like Azure a lot, but there are definitely some big areas for improvement. The biggest, I think, is a very clear and transparent pricing system. It is very difficult to figure out what a certain addition will do to impact your monthly pricing. You have to guess a bit at what you think will happen and where you think you are at overall to figure out if you can afford to add another resource. That's...

I've noticed that Microsoft invests heavily in security and innovating new ways to use the cloud. In fact, they come up with so many new features that sometimes it's hard for users to keep up. Nevertheless, I see this as a positive thing because it shows their commitment to improving their product and providing the best possible experience for their users.

In my experience, debugging apps can be challenging as it's not always a straightforward process. I wish there were more readily available dashboards and graphs that could provide insights into how the app is performing. Unfortunately, the current process often involves setting up multiple queries and instrumentation, which can be time-consuming and tedious. Improved accessibility to detailed performance metrics would greatly benefit developers, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient debugging process.

1. Reliability: is one of the major advantages of Microsoft Azure. Since it is a platform built by one of the industry pioneers, anyone can blindly rely on the fact that Microsoft Azure is one of the best in case of reliability. 2. Huge variety of managed services are available to choose from, which would provide almost any service as a managed service on this platform. 3. The model - Pay what and when you use, is one of the most attractive features of these services. From small scale to large scale companies are attracted, solely because of this feature-set, which is only available in cloud-based service like Microsoft Azure.

1. Complex User Interface: is by far my top concern while using this platform. Although, the platform is capable of doing so much, however, the placement of feature-sets is not appropriately done. The UI of the platform could be made a little bit more user friendly, which would enhance the user experience, immensely. 2. Better cache services: can reduce laggy-ness in the platform for the users who are not connected with very stable internet connections.

Microsoft Azure provides reliable cloud storage, computing, networking, infrastructure, resources, and tools for solution development and deployment. The analytical services and SQL solutions are fast and integrate seamlessly with on-premises SQL Server systems. The platform is secure, easy to implement, and continuously adds new features and advanced AI capabilities. The customer support is friendly and responsive. Also, Azure has an extensive learning platform and solution architecture center to help developers design and optimize better cloud solutions.

Azure continuously adding new features is critical for success, but it is a bit overwhelming and requires continuous learning to keep up with the latest updates.
