Microsoft Azure Reviews - Page 7

There are tons of features available for hosting websites, web applications, APIs, etc. If you are hosting a .NET application, you can take advantage of their App Services option to abstract away the work involved with managing a virtual machine. But if you need a VM you can have one of those as well. I also enjoy the ability to easily view the metrics of your application/site, and instantly scale resources as required. Some of the higher-scale packages even offer the ability to have the load balancing and resource allocation done automatically.

Azure is expensive. You get a good bit for your money but boy do you pay for it. Scaling up into higher resource levels often involves doubling or tripling your monthly costs, even if you're not getting a corresponding percentage increase in your performance. Also, and maybe this is just a web apps thing, but there's not a dedicated IP filtering option built in for the web apps. You need to purchase an additional package or manage all of that through your site's web.config. That's a little annoying.

A simple and great platform that provides top notch features and functionalities by Microsoft for development, testing and project management purposes. Built by Microsoft, automatically gives me complete trust on having our personal data shared on cloud and managing data for corporate internally or across teams. It is highly reliable, secure and scalable. It is ranked among the top 5 cloud services provided by the top company Microsoft. I would also love to appreciate the fact that my initial career started by using Azure services, creating resources, APIs, processing data over cloud using CosmosDB and much more, so I really appreciate the services provided.

Extremely expensive for every service and resource provided by Microsoft Azure. Strong competitor to GCP (Google Cloud Platform), Alibaba Cloud and AWS (Amazon Web Services) but not a real value for money when it comes to pricing of resources.

I like the easiness with which a azure migration can be done, we migrated our In house trading system to azure cloud with much ease

If Azure's cost can be reduced it can beat AWS and most of the in house infrastructure will move to azure cloud

Azure is a very powerful tool that we use it everyday in our organisation. 1. Azure for devops. Performing continuous integration, right from setting up the pipeline to trigger automated builds, when a developer checks in a code. 2. Ability to plug in to various tools like Appcenter, AWS,when setting up the pipeline. Hence there is no boundaries when using Azure. 3. Azure for agile is a big plus. We maintain our backlogs, sprints and track our work items in Azure. 4. Azure for test management. We use azure to track our bugs, maintain our test plans. 5. Ability to support various version controls like GIT, TFS.

I do not see any Cons with Azure. Azure is a great tool altogether and it is a one stop solution for both developers and testers.

Azure database which helps us store data on cloud, using visual studio is the best way to connect to the azure database.

Cost is little higher when comparing the pricing with Azure and other services for startup companies.

the ability for it to integrate with on-premise active directory to synchronize users.

for now, i have not seen any. But if i could point one out , it should be that moving of OMS to azure monitor. this wasn't needed.

I use Azure’s Virtual machines, cloud drives and Cpanel servers. Believe it or not, they performed better than Google cloud’s similar products. The amazing thing is that you can use basic versions of most of their products free using their trial credit. Most products offer hourly billing so you pay only for the time you needed which is great for occasional needs

Small businesses or individuals with regular basic needs may find products Little expensive.

It has very powerful internal services that helps you to build infrastructure and propagate your applications. The services that Azure provide are very stable. Also on top of services, you can always install security components.

Azure should improve its live support for each services. Some of them has live support option but some of them has not. In case of issues with the services, we always need live support.

I like its stability. In the years that we have been using we have not seen a flaw in our application because the service has stopped. This service offers a good amount of environments and the apps are compatible with Windows and work quite well. I like reports of application failures, because they come very close to the moment they occur. I like the services offered in AD.

I think it's expensive. I notice that the services in other platforms that are not microsoft, are limited. I do not like that the service logs do not report in detail what happens when something fails, they are not integrated with the applications. Online help services are slow. When you select a service the details of them are not very clear, for example they are very basic and let the user suppose some things that should be explicitly explained.

For me continuing my knowledge and learning of Azure, I find that the Azure Portal is easy to navigate, with many helpful hints along the way. If you can't find what you're looking for, there's a search bar at the top of the screen at all times to find it for you. Outside of user navigation, spinning up a vm, uploading a custom ARM template, creating a Synapse Analytics workspace, or whatever resource you need, Azure has for you.

Can be a bit pricey to start if you're doing the lift and shift method for a migration project. It would be better to re-architect your infrastructure prior to the migration, as Microsoft is quite proud of Azure.

The old interface was the main reason as to why I started on Azure rather an AWS. I always though the Amazon interface was too complicated for such a simple task. Azure made it look so much simpler. The newer UI was buggy and slow but they've managed to fix it and it now provides the right information in the right amount of clicks. I was also called by 'Customer success' team and they gave me useful information on features I was not using yet. All in all a great product. Cant go wrong choosing Azure.

At the beginning I really disliked the new UI. Its been a year (maybe more) since that happened so I kinda got used to it but still, not the best in the market. It could be improved by a huge margin.

Microsoft Azure is far and away the best platform for any Managed Service Provider looking to bring their SMB customers to the cloud. The power and simplicity of the platform is unparalleled.

Oftentimes the native tools can be a bit confusing; make sure to investigate 3rd party options to make the management plane easier.

So, I am an Azure Active directory Engineer and, in my opinion, following are thing are the key highs of MS Azure. Data Security In my opinion data is one of the most important things for any of our business partners. And I totally support that Azure has the one of the best data securities. Graphical User Interface As an Azure AD engineer, for me once of the key factor is GUI. And Azure offers the...

The things I disliked about azure are as follows. But this opinion may change from user to user. Pricing complexity: Azure's pricing structure can be intricate, making it challenging to predict costs and avoid unexpected charges. Management complexity: Managing a complex Azure environment can be time-consuming and require specialized skills.

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.

1. Build powerful machines with attached GPUs in few clicks. Templates can also be used and any newbie can simply deploy super machines for compute workload. 2. Managed virtual machines: can be created which can be built and destoyed with load balancer settings. This is automated and does not require manual overhead to maintain. It can be automated based on CPU metrics or number of requests per minute.

Azure is pretty solid platform which does not have any disadvantages. Since it is backed by Microsoft, new features are continously included based on customer feedback.

I appreciate the versatility and expandability of Microsoft Azure. Its broad selection of tools and services enable developers to create and launch applications, and its global network of data centers can fulfill high availability and data residency prerequisites. Furthermore, Azure's integration with data and AI technologies can assist companies in unlocking valuable insights from their data, leading to business growth. I am also impressed by the excellent assistance provided by the support team. Although I faced several issues initially, the support team was courteous enough to address all of my concerns and resolve them effectively.

One issue I have with Azure is that the pricing for some services can be challenging to comprehend and compare with other cloud providers. Additionally, the user experience may be overwhelming for beginners compared to other cloud providers due to the complexity of Azure's broad range of services. This is not to say that the platform is inherently flawed, but rather that it may be challenging to consolidate all of its services into a single location.

The wide range of services offered by Microsoft Azure are what I find most interesting. As a developer, what i value most is its smooth connection with different tools, such as Visual Studio and GitHub, because it simplifies deployment and testing. Azure has excellent scalability capabilities that make it easy for applications to handle increasing workloads. It is also perfect for enterprise-level projects due to its excellent compliance.

The pricing of service is one drawback, as it can be load, particularly for smaller jobs. Because of the intricacy of the platform, it can be overwhelming to navigate through all of the services accessible, especially for newbies.

When transitioning some VM's from vSphere to Azure in order to be hybrid, the process was extremely easy. All the instructions and steps to make that happen were easy to follow.

Although pricing can be a bit high, it is understandable that with all the features being offered it does make sense to have that in place

costo, rendimiento variable, necesitas un buen internet

The best part of the product is the continuous improvement that they make on the features, plus the thousands of features it has.

Sometimes deploying parts is a little confusing based on the guides that makes you search on other resources for tutorials.

Azure is comprehensive and holistic - you don't have to micromanage resources like you do in Google, Amazon, IBM or Heroku. The web interface is a strength to me where others have complained that it is difficult, I find it fairly easy to learn and understand. By comparison - Amazon's console is pretty hard to navigate through and multi-task. APIs and tools are robust and comprehensive. Literally anything can be scripted or automated without needing to do a lot of setup on your local machine. Azure is the most cross-platform compatible and inclusive of any cloud provider - what I mean by that is that you can provision manage and automate just about any technology platform in Azure *from* any platform.

As others have noted, the billing can be difficult to measure and predict. You just kind of have to try it and see.

la flexibilité et l'évolutivité de la plateforme, les outils intégrés pour le développement, le stockage, la gestion et l'analyse des données, ainsi que la sécurité et la conformité avec les normes du secteur, mais aussi l'environnement de développement intégré, les outils de de collaboration et les notifications en temps réel sont autant de choses que j'apprécie sur ce logiciel.

Malgré de nombreuses qualités il y a aussi des inconvénients potentiels. Il y'a certaines difficultés à l'intégrer à d'autres systèmes, des temps de réponse lents et des interruptions de service. Certaines fonctionnalités peuvent également être relativement complexes à utiliser pour les débutants. En outre, j'ai trouvé que certaines fonctionnalités ne sont pas disponibles sur la plateforme ou qu'elles pourraient être améliorées.

I like not having to manage my own hardware. The savings can be substantial.

The cost of storage eats away at the budget quickly and can be sneaky.
