February 27, 2023

4.0

Pros

\- User friendly portal , availability of abundant resources to start off for new developers- Provisioning and deploying resources are quick- Integrated with many third party connectors esp in Logic Apps which is very useful when developing out of the box features

### "Powerful and enterprise-level cloud services"

April 6, 2020

4.0

With Azure I can host our enterprise applications with the easy possibility to scale-out and scale-up very quickly if it is necessary. Services like App Service give you an easy and powerful solution to host web applications. Other docker-related services like Azure Kubernetes Services makes deploying and managing containerized applications fast.

Pros

I use Azure (Cloud Computing Platform & Services by Microsoft) everyday for Infrastructure as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform as-a-Service (Paas) cloud computing service models. I like the Azure portal and the tigth integration with other tools and services like Azure DevOps, Visual Studio, Office 365 and Active Directory.

Cons

It could be improve the way to create Infrastructure as Code (IaC). For now Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is the only native way to create IaC on Azure and for a beginner is not so easy: other vendors (like AWS with CloudFormation) offer better experience.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure

Better integration with Office 365 and Active Directory.

### "Best Cloud Provider in the Market"

September 20, 2022

4.0

It is one of the best cloud provider in the market right now but it can be more cheaper and easy to use software.

Pros

Microsoft Azure is not only the best cloud provider in the market but also it provides great services and solutions and is more organized than the Amazon Web Services.

Cons

Microsoft Services could have been a cheaper and easier to use and its encryption techniques could have been increased

### "Like other Micrisoft tools Azure is very user-friendly as my experience "

March 21, 2019

5.0

Overall, I think it is safe to conclude that Microsoft Azure is a pretty standard and decent technology and it serves as a good competitor against other similar products in the market. But still, there are lots of rooms for improvement that Microsoft should address in order to completely win this segment of cloud technology.

Pros

Our company has recently purchased Microsoft Azure and we started using it a few months ago. While I have a few experiences in using other data housing tools before, I was curious to see what Azure uniquely offers. Here a short review of my experience so far: Pros - 1. Multiple Data Sets in One User Account Basically, Azure was the answer to the problem of having to create multiple accounts in order to access multiple data sets at a given time. 2. User-friendliness Microsoft is popular on this. I bet no other brands of the same category can beat Azure in this aspect. I personally found it to be easy to navigate during my first time to explore the interface. 3. Easy integration with other Microsoft Products Our office uses a lot of Microsoft software and the ease of integration has saved us a lot of time. This is one is one of its strongest edges over its competitors.

Cons

Cons - 1. Difficulty of customization Currently, it doesn't have the feature that enables customization of processors. This should be available soon in order to give users more control of the data and its management. 2. Price of product itself and services Cost should be lower considering that most clients are businesses and support services are more likely to be needed frequently due to the number of users in a single organization or office just like ours. Also, customer support is not that good. During the one time we tried to reach out to an agent, it took a while before the issue got completely addressed.

### "Microsoft Azure Review"

February 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Great Cloud Service"

October 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure

In the end, we wanted to stay in the Microsoft framework as that is where we are currently using all other 365 products. It made the most sense to grow with Azure given we are keeping our active director in Azure already.

### "Best hybrid cloud"

February 10, 2020

5.0

We love it. We have several CI/CD pipelines in visual studio to automate and manage our environments. It has an excellent support for CLI so that infrastructure as code possible.

Pros

It is easy to use even for non-developers. It has both command line and dashboard access to cloud resources. Best in class support. It works great with in-prem and in cloud apps with a seamless integration. Their advisor tool works great to mitigate issues with security and under utilized resources.

Cons

Some areas of cloud offerings could be be better. Hard disk management is not as matured as AWS. Frequent crashing of VMs causes disk corruption. Managed database services like cosmos, mysql and postgresql are expensive.

### "Another strong platform for cloud computing"

September 24, 2022

4.0

Pros

This software provides a fantastic recovery function, which has been incredibly helpful to me in saving and safeguarding my data and information. Additionally, this instrument offers me a high level of service, has great security, adheres to its standards, and performs to my preferences.

Cons

Mostly the cost. It is difficult to pass on the high cost of charging in dollars to the customer in Turkey. The most recent adjustments of 25% were unfair. It also fails to provide straightforward methods for carrying out fundamental activities; for example, you struggle to make a basic backup of your website or database. Leaving aside the unimportant, there is a significant amount of technical red tape.

### "The most effective Cloud Support solution on the market."

April 27, 2022

5.0

It is mostly used for development and management. Azure is one of the most user-friendly and engaging cloud solutions available. Azure's key feature is its main site, which makes administrative tasks far easier than with other cloud providers.

Pros

It's a cloud solution that's highly secure, scalable, and dependable. The transition from on-premises to cloud is straightforward. Integration with other Microsoft services and third-party providers is mostly complete.

Cons

Although the overall cost is more than similar providers, the features provided by Azure are worth it for some businesses.

### "Great for Enterprise-Level Applications"

November 13, 2023

4.0

A great, streamlined alternative to AWS for running timed, http-responsive serverless code that integrates well with VS Code

Pros

Azure features a fairly robust, well integrated Serverless product with Azure Functions and has a seamless integration with VS Code

Cons

Documentation is incredibly complicated and verbose - the customer support team / rep you get with an enterprise level subscription isn't always helpful and it takes a lot of outreach to get a technical resource involved.

### "Been a user for 5+ years"

August 20, 2018

5.0

As a development software company, I just can't imagine ourselves w/o Azure. They provide all the tools I need with an amazing quick access. The price is scalable so our costs are always under control.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
