Microsoft Azure Reviews - Page 5

The most important thing is that we need Azure to be viable in order to break the monopoly of AWS on public cloud providers. If we want to avoid massive price gouging and lock-in, Azure needs to serviceable. Thankfully Microsoft has worked hard in recent years to making Azure more developer and IT friendly. They were always great at providing hosted versions of Microsoft products such as MS Exchange,...

Azure draws from the Microsoft visual style so if you navigating using the UI, it's a bit of a uneven experience. If you are used to Windows, this probably won't be too much of a problem. In many cases it takes too many clicks to get to the appropriate screen. However this is something that all cloud providers need to work on. While the marketplace is growing, the ecosystem support is not as robust as AWS. I would like to see MSFT partner with VMW to provide a similar offering to VMW on AWS.

I'm actually very impressed with this application, its very user friendly and secure. It has different integrations and multiple options for languages, I mostly love its ability to acquire information on consumption.

Sometimes, navigating through the admin can be very tricky for a new user. It is a little bit more expensive when compared with other softwares and this is a software that doesn't really buffer simple solutions to highly technical problems. It is still my best choice so far.

This system helps to create and manage a complete IT infrastructure and software in the cloud...from virtual machines, network, databases, applications,...

If you would like to automate your infrastructure, some options can be configured only by using command line like power shell, bash, ....

We have started to breakdown our monolith and adopt a Microservices architecture. This has meant we had to change everything from our code bases to our release strategy . Azure will allow us to release to production several times a day with confidence.

Azure is tricky to understand - there is a lot of things you can create, configure and that itself can be a full time job. It is recommended to get someone who has experience with Azure to assist with the setup process.

Microsoft Azure offers a comprehensive suite of cloud services, allowing seamless scalability and flexibility for businesses of all sizes. The integration with other Microsoft products like Office 365 and Active Directory simplifies management, and the extensive range of tools for analytics, AI, and DevOps makes it a versatile platform for many use cases.

The pricing model can be complex and difficult to estimate accurately, especially for smaller businesses. Additionally, navigating the full range of features and services can be overwhelming for users who are new to cloud platforms.

Support and functionality during operation

It is so easy to setup this product for user

We really love how easy it is to get virtual machines set up in Azure and the power that we have in using Azure. The support is excellent and we are able to deploy and complete many tasks when we need them.

We don't like the cost structure as much as other competitors' ways of offering their services.

We have been using the AZURE ML service for more than a year now. The best part of the service is its worthiness for the price that we pay. Compared to the competitors, Azure offers the service in less price and provides a one stop shop for developing and deploying a complete application

The software still needs improvement with the ease of deploying the service and maintaining the documentation of the logs.

It has a structure that uses cloud technology to its limits, adapts it and offers it to the user. The user interface, which offers all steps and operations in the cloud environment, has an easy structure. It is the structure that gathers all the operations you need, information technologies and software under a single roof. It has an easy, plain, simple and easy to adapt structure. It is in a structure where all MS software and servers are controlled and managed. Fast, easy integration and adaptation. It saves time and space. You forget all known cumbersome computing scenarios.

Azure technology perhaps has a structure and management that is above perfect. It is almost a milestone in cloud technology. It takes it one step further with a new update every day. It has no shortcomings.

The breadth of services are fantastic, we use their API management (APIM) which allows us to group our API's into products very simply. Getting the service deployed is simple leveraging the Azure CICD pipeline and controlling secrets with KeyVault leads to a nice integrated system. Azure exposes a plethora of APIs to allow you to integrate your services with any of your current systems without having to radically change your develop and deploy pattern that developers are used to, it also allowed us to integrate our own security tests and checks right into the deployment

The reporting and management is a little light, this is mitigated by an API that allows you to pull far more data than the dashboards display but I did find it a little annoying.

part of what I like the most is using virtual machines, since it is more my area, we currently have an environment where we have several applications, it is very useful and easy to use, excellent product

For someone who has no knowledge at first it can be a bit difficult, but after you learn you see how easy it is.

Microsoft Azure not only offers so many advanced features for your business such as cloud services, analytics, detailed security information, compliance,etc. It truly is the leader in the cloud space.

While Microsoft Azure truly is the leader in the cloud space, we do find a few challenges when trying to integrate Linux systems into the environment. They do run fine but lack the advanced features compared to GCP.

I am excited on how great Azure is becoming and cannot wait to see more. Love your network migrator software and cannot wait to see more from you guys in the future.

Your pricing is rediculous, I don't understand why their pricing is so out of this world, which I know in time pricing will go down, but for small businesses it's just not yet worth it. Your company has already the dominant market in OS, why not make Azure special and reduce pricing and storage and swallow up the world as we know it so that Microsoft will be live forever. I understand that you are in a new market and are catching up to AWS, but your never going to beat them unless you strategize your game plan and give user's packages that make sense and are cost effective. The cloud is coming, it's all on who does it first and how they do it.

Extremely solid platform, very easy to get started, very easy to manage, billing is a breeze to understand and monitor. (Yeah, it's Microsoft)

Support was sketchy (My 1 experience in 18 months needing it was a disappointing one). In brief, regardless of what the system tells you, if you don't purchase a support plan you're SOL. During the recent Intel software glitch one of our Azure VMs was affected. Opened a case, top priority level, was given a 2 hour promise of contact, watched patiently on the portal as the clock went from 2h to 1h...

Versioning .Yes its easy to use. Yes it was very flexible. It helps in supporting .net core applications in case source code got changed its highly relevant

Debugging on Developer portal. It should be enhanced more so that we know exact error and in which line it happened so that problems should be superfast to solve

Microsft have outdone themselves in making simple the process of creating and managing cloud assets in Azure. There are multiple ways of doing things also, choosing your way. If you want to create or manage resources through the portal, PowerShell, the .NET API, REST, etc. it is really up to you. The functionality of Azure and creating VM is quite easy and saves time. The dashboards are really helpful, and I think its easy for beginners to start using.

It is helpful if you are not familiar with Azure to do some online training course which will definitely take you a long way in mastering it and build your confidence in the product. It tends to use of resources and it times the VM shut down is slow and freezes.

It is highly scalable with simple data management. Azure DevOps is great in web design and development has many features. Security well maintained with it's robust encryption.

For new users it may take a while to learn.

I like how much you can control from one GUI, it gives you a lot of tools to work with to help increase efficiency.

Azure is very large and can be intimidating to first time users. I recommend taking some form of training before signing up for it, because it can be difficult to navigate.

Azure has it all and is extendable by you or thousands of developers, thus, regardless of your payload, Azure have you covered from small static website to planet scale systems.

Sometimes you need to figure out the best tool to use as there are just a ton of possible solutions. Here the community and online documentation comes to help so....

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform which allows you to build, test, deploy and manage applications and services online using Microsoft’s vast international data centers. You don't need to buy computing hardware like servers, and etc simply rent from Microsoft and pay for what you use and use what you can afford. You don't have to worry about making costly upgrades from time to time or...

Everything is in the cloud and consequently if you lose your Internet connection then you can't manage your data or services. Microsoft Azure can be a little over whelming due to the vast number of services offered Understanding the menu structure takes a bit of learning and getting used to.

Microsoft Azure is truly the way of Cloud computing as it helps save money through IaaS/PaaS offering Infrastructure and Platform As A Service. No need to have on-premise computing power when you can have it in the Cloud allowing you to efficiently use the resources.

Azure requires comprehensive training, IT expertise to set up. And for the end-user when you don't have internet you will have no access to the resources.

I liked the ability to setup virtual machines via resource pools but it did not deliver during our trial.

The setup of a virtual desktop using the resource pool approach continually failed with domain join errors. I tried to get support but none was available during a trial apart from online chat (who only were willing to send me more documents to read). I could have obtained support if I paid for it...... Big error here on part of MS as set-up is exactly when they need to impress people and get them...

The time required to setup and manage virtual machines within Azure has been a big win for the our small team. Additionally, there are new features added all the time that increase the flexibility and options available.

The number of changes that are constantly being made. I understand it's an ever-growing solution, but it seems that more thought could be put into what/where specific features are in advance of deploying the features. As it stands today, I could login tomorrow and find a critical feature has been relocated or replaced and deprecated.
