### "Reliable cloud for mission critical applications"

April 7, 2020

5.0

Azure has helped us grow tremendously while minimizing maintenance, upkeep, and other non value-add activities.

Pros

Azure has been a stable and reliable cloud platform within which we have based all of our mission critical applications. The breadth of offerings is on par with any other competitor, and we have not found a situation yet where we've had to look elsewhere for a particular product. Interfaces and APIs for working with Azure resources are easy to use and intuitive. We also applaud Microsoft's embracing of open source software, particularly Linux environments. Inevitable brief downtime periods (all major clouds have this) have been addressed swiftly and transparently.

Cons

Support at the basic levels is poor to non-existent, must upgrade to a high level support plan to get any competent support within a reasonable timeframe. While infrequent, a few service outages we have seen lasted more than a few hours.

### "Cloud at its best!!!!!"

July 28, 2021

5.0

Great experience as it provides a solid foundation for hosting test and prod environments.

Pros

The ability to get information on consumption, project usage, and scale up or down in terms of usage.

Cons

Sometimes the admin navigation is a little confusing at first but once you get accustomed to it, its works

Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure

The ability to have a congruent and reliable (from the reports and stats) foundation to base our products, the majority being Microsoft related was the big factor here.

### "Great to have for a Hybrid enviroment"

May 1, 2023

5.0

It has been great, very easy to deploy resources, and to remove them when they are no longer needed.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Switched from

[vSphere](https://www.capterra.com/p/93512/VMware-Horizon/)

It was not an entire move from vSphere, but a change to a hybrid environment.

### "One of the best and reliable cloud provider"

February 11, 2023

4.0

Overall I feel it's better to compare to other cloud providers and one should definitely give it a try at least with their 30 days free trial offer.

Pros

1\. super easy to use and maintain your cloud infrastructure. 2. have used many azure services like event hub, function app, compute, HDI cluster, and storage any more and all of them work seamlessly. 3. Excellent documentation and online support on all popular forums.

Cons

1\. Sometimes the availability of services is a little concerning as we recently faced an outage in the APC region.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure

1\. better pricing.2. ease of use and a huge set of features to use from

### "Four Letter Acronyms Aplenty (FLAA's) - SaaS \\ PaaS \\ IaaS - Azure has them all"

June 26, 2018

5.0

Spinning up quickly development systems. Hosting highly available platforms that would cost £1000's to implement in a datacentre but still retain control of access and data residency.

Pros

The availability, speed of delivery and ability to scale the services are great. We can provision services, within minutes \\ hours rather than days or weeks. Test out new functionality on development servers \\ apps that would require sign off for expensive hardware \\ software, with minimal cost and impact to the business.

Cons

The wealth of functions, services, apps make it hard to identify what the most effective way of resourcing a solution. The Azure Marketplace tries to overcome with pre-packaged solutions, but then you have competing providers.

### "Popular cloud provider with not straight forward services' setup"

July 31, 2023

3.0

I really dislike it and if I've had a chance to choose - I'd go with AWS for multiple reasons - AWS have well-developed documentation, straight-forward solutions, easy services setup, easy permissions management, and much more

Pros

It's next in the row of popularity after AWS

Cons

Initial setup - documentation is not full, too many custom solutions needed to achieve simple things

### "Cloud management solutions that a medium business needs."

June 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

It was quick and uncomplicated to set up the storage profile and utilize the resources for our storage requirements. Azure makes use of prevalent naming conventions, making setup simple without the need for a lexicon of specific product descriptions. The price is highly competitive, making the option to use Azure a no-brainer.

Cons

The admin dashboard is comprehensive, but it does not allow for much modification, resulting in a congested dashboard that requires many clicks to dive down to frequently accessed information and settings.

### "Azure take cares of your heavy work load"

October 2, 2019

4.0

I used Azure for past 3 years and it helped me get my things done when it comes to hosting and running servers on cloud. But compare to Amazon, Azure has a lot of things to do and they are going in the right direction to compete with Amazon web services.

Pros

I used webapp in Azure where I find it is easy to configure and manage the continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) pipeline. Azure Application Insights has given me so much of important information regarding the services and APIs that I have run, which can be used to drill down and find any kind of server issues.

Cons

Azure has a ton of features and in their portal those are really hard to find. Features can be categorized into groups and search option can be improved a bit.

### "Our go-to cloud environment for customer cloud services"

January 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

Azure allows us to provide a complete customer solution in the cloud, providing servers, databases, authentication and web services/sites. The newer administration user interface is simple to use, yet allows control over most of your services, and powershell can be used to control them completely. We host several customer environments in the Azure cloud, along with our own SaaS product, and we have never had a problem with it. Monitoring is also comprehensive, allowing manual or automatic availability provisioning to be easy.

Cons

Although Azure can be a reasonably priced option, it can get expensive quickly. Ensure that you double check pricing before provisioning your services.

### "Great vendor for cloud implementation "

May 5, 2022

Azure is great. Gives tough competition to AwS. I will goto azure if most of my servers and infrastructure uses Microsoft technologies.

Pros

We used it to rehost their BI infrastructure to cloud. We loved the flexibility and similar tool it provided which was awesome!

Cons

I think their customer support is slow in response. Doesn’t get the ball moving until you escalate.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure

Pricing Ease since we hadmost of our softwares on Microsoft stack

### "The cloud Solution for all your busines needs"

February 11, 2021

5.0

I managed to fullfil all the task my work assigned to me with azure technologies. But the learning path has been kind of diffcult. But asfter that breach i can use their technologies efficiently .

Pros

There almost any option for any technological thing you could think of, for example, IA, Cloud computing, file management, Chatbots, Bi intelligence, data analists etc.

Cons

Some options are complex to conect between them with out the help of an expert so you ll have to speend time trying to gte the hthings well conected or suffer changing the default configuration in order to meet your expectations. Alsolo some internal parameter can only be changed by technical asistence so soon or later you ll have to rise a support ticket

Variety of ways to control the service like: Azure CLI, ARM Templates, REST API and PowerShell. Also it is easy to integrate the services together.

May 19, 2023

5.0

Its a 10/10, the ROI is very good for this application , I would recommend this to everyone.

Pros

Storage of logs which can be accessed anywhere globally. The data back up and the data security is top notch. It is a platform which is scalable and reliable to most of us. Secured integration between the platform and application.

Cons

They should provide a free tutorial video so the we can understand the basics of the application. Free training could ensure higher adoptions to make it the market leader
