It was an excellent solution to us. We use many of its background services: file storage, database housing, is a very good application
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.

part of our web environment is hosted in azure, we have virtual machines with applications, this has provided us with resources and less internal costs for the purchase of hardware
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.

Azure is developing itself continuously and I believe it will be better in the future.
I gave 5 stars to its features and functionality because Azure really tries hard to stay competitive in the market and it has most of the features that a cloud provider should offer. We use Azure to provide our services to our customers that work with Microsoft. What I like the most about Azure is its AI tools. Azure is really successful when it comes to machine learning.
I will be a little bit cruel about Customer Support and Ease of Use. We work with Azure as CSP partners. One day we had a problem with one of our servers and I couldn't even reach to support team to get help. Later I learned that since we are CSP partners we cannot directly get in touch with Azure team. Instead we should contact our local dealer to get support. It is tiring to involve bureaucracy...

Compatibility with Microsoft products and deployment of Microsoft solutions
Complexity, price, is not so easy when you try to use other products than Microsoft

Good experience if you need to know what tools you have in the catalog in case you need to implement a big project.
The catalog for analytics tools is pretty big, you can integrate various solutions to the default tools
The prices you need to pay are also high, taking on account that if you need to deploy a prototype the ROI will be low.
