Microsoft Azure vs Microsoft Visual Studio: Which is a better fit?

Rilwan: My name is Rilwan, I'm the product designer/co-founder for Aetiv Media Limited. Right now, we've got a team of six people, me included, and on a scale of one to five, I'll give Microsoft Azure a five. Thanks. Before we started using Microsoft Azure, we used to host our mobile platforms and mobile apps on a couple of different platforms. So the way it works is the hosting, the data, the server all were done on different platforms altogether. So we would use DigitalOcean, we would use Namecheap as well. So those are the two we were using before we had to move to Microsoft Azure. Yeah. The main reason would be the software provides everything we need. The platform provides everything we need, so everything the other platform provides we can always get it on Microsoft Azure. And when you're dealing with data, security is paramount, so it makes more sense for you to just make sure all your things are in one place, which was one of the main reason why we add some move to Microsoft Azure. The ease of setting up, it's a bit complicated because you need a technical know-how, but we have someone. We have the right personnel in our engineering department, so that was easier for him. So somebody that probably doesn't have an idea of programming, or trying to install, or trying to set up the process, that might be an issue. They've got lots of videos to actually walk you through it, but sometimes it can get a little bit complicated. But if you've got the right person, which we had, the set a process is easy. In regards to that, it depends on the nature of your business or the size of your business actually. But when you get to a point where you're getting hundreds of customers, tens of thousands of people using your platform, it makes that sense for you to want to save time, want to save cost a little bit. And so at that point, I would advise you go for Microsoft Azure, because literally everything you need is on the platform. And so if you've got any issue with everything, you can just go onto the help center and there'll be the help for you, compared to you trying to use different platforms because now you have to make sure this platform is linked to this one, that one is linked to that one. But if it's just one and you feel like you need it, then definitely that will be the best option for your small business to actually implements. Thanks.

Kevin: Hi, this is Kevin. I'm a product owner and I give Microsoft Visual Studios a four out of five, and for more reviews like this, please click below. I use Microsoft Visual Studio with Python Code. Microsoft Visual Studios allows multiple different softwares to run within it, and I use it for Python, which is a programming language that we use for spreadsheets and other analytical tools. What I like about Microsoft Visual Studios is it's a Microsoft product, so it's included with our other Microsoft Suites. It has very similar menus across the top in the ribbon, and it's fairly reliable, and I feel secure using it. What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studios is because it's a one-size-fits-many, it's not tailored to the software that we use it with currently, so your mileage may vary.
