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.

Overall I can say Microsoft Azure is a highly performant cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of services and tools for businesses to build, deploy, and manage our applications and services.
Flexibility because Azure provides a wide range of tools and services that can be used for various use cases and scenarios, making it easy for businesses to choose the services that best fit our needs.
In my opinion, the price structure is a little confusing and difficult to estimate.

Azure provide a wide range of services that cover almost all the need of companies to manage their business on IT perspective. Security , reliability, availability and service level agreement are on top of the market.
Microsoft Azure provide a huge variety of cloud services and tools to cover all the needs of a big company. Because of the recent trend request to move more and more services and solutions into the cloud, Azure provided to the company the best experience to grant the continuity of business, drastically reducing the TCO of IT.
It's not simple to evaluate in advance the real cost of "pay-per-use" model. Too many times for companies the cost overwhelm the estimation provided at the beginning of a cloud service implementation

One of the best method to manage users in your domain when compared to other features or availability like AWS. Cost effective when compared to AWS.
We are using Azure for user based management for profile login the basic and almost features what we like was ease of authentication and login. Coustomer support is one of the best thing in azure(Quick and best resolution).
User interface of Microsoft Azure was bit disgusting and it takes time to adopt to all the features available and for new users also it will be difficult to learn quickly.
