October 14, 2022

5.0

Pros

Excellent service and support and especially their Azure SQL and cosmos db engines are easy to deploy and scale as per the need.

### "Beat cloud solution for the ones working with Microsoft technologies"

August 27, 2019

4.0

It a great cloud solution to developers like me which use Visual studio as their main weapon/tool. It quite familiar for the devs whi already using sms technologies. Overall secure, reliable and fast. One can go for it.

Pros

1- Azure is pretty fast. Deployment of code is way fast then IIS . 2-you will find a familiar environment if you already use Microsoft technologies. 3-It's very easy to manage all my resources on the azure portal.

Cons

1-VM failure is on e of the frustrating issue I face many times. 2-Documentation can be better. It takes some time to a newbie to get used to microsoft docs. 3- As far as I know, offline access is not possible with ms Azure

### "Our company went full remote and full cloud with Azure and haven't looked back"

July 16, 2019

5.0

We are fully cloud now, no more physical servers and we all work remotely. I am a Software Developer by profession, not an Azure admin, yet I was able to get us up and running and have assumed the role of Azure admin. There were lots of resources online to help me. Deploying our applications using Azure App Services has helped us share demo projects with clients. There is so much more we plan to do going forward, and it's all point and click to set this stuff up, our "virtual data center" right at our fingertips.

Pros

How easy it was to setup the Virtual Machines and environments we needed and move all of our existing databases over to the Azure cloud.

Cons

The billing is a little hard to understand, even using the billing calculator we weren't fully sure what the cost was going to be at the end of our first month, but it was pretty close, just took us a while to figure it out.

Pros

Great at improving service availability and delivery by implementation of Virtual machines, Azure active directory, Identity And access mgt in the cloud.

### "Microsoft Azure"

February 26, 2023

It’s good so far , but it needs improvement to cope with existing competition

Pros

### "Secured, Well Documented, And User-Friendly Cloud Environment"

January 22, 2023

5.0

It allows us to create Linux images for x86 and ARM64 processors. It also aids in the resolution of database and website hosting issues.

Pros

It enables us to utilize them as build agents to generate Linux images for WSL using QEMU. The Machine learning aspects of fairness and explainability attracted me. Microsoft Azure's user interface is straightforward. It is simple to deploy the Docker images.

Cons

I can't think of any features I dislike right now. But I've had login troubles and have to reset my password multiple times.

### "Azure provides a safe cloud based software"

May 1, 2023

5.0

Overall, very good. It is a safe platform with many useful features.

Pros

Fairly easy to use, the ability to use external databases that many external people can use is helpful. The benefits of a virtual host is that you only have to deploy an external application once which saves time on deployment and bug testing.

Cons

Due to the nature if an online platform, there is no escape from the limitations of local network infrastructure meaning if there are external apps it slows the whole external system down.

### "Azure is the place for developers to create customer-centric solutions"

June 11, 2020

5.0

Having used Azure for over a decade, I see the way Microsoft is positioning this in the market and I like it. Teaching and dveloping are two of my passions and everything you normally would have to have a datacenter or server farm for, can now be setup and run in a matter of minutes.

Pros

For developers it is a great solution, so much is possible with 100+ features for every client migration or new project. I am teaching others how to use Azure and they are constantly amazed at the vast amount of features and services available, and most are free to try as well.

Cons

You can only use a trial for 30 days which should be enough for most, but it would be nice to extend so there is much more to explore. Other things are not free, so you do have to pay for what you want to use. The best parts are very expensive so you are only able to test these if your company pays for these features.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure

Microsoft has great support and all features in the Azure cloud, can also be used with open source software, more and more now, so very versatile.

### "Azure Suite of Products for Mobile App Development"

February 19, 2019

4.0

Pros

It has a suite of products that you can use for your mobile application i.e. Azure SQL DB for data storage, Azure storage for files storage (images, documents, pdf files etc). It has ready to use APIs for querying of data and has ready made authentication tools you can use to allow your users to login to your app via FB or Google. This is one of the solid options besides Amazon.

Cons

Documentation is provided in their website but it is lacking and most of the time outdated. I myself would contribute to their site to update content as most code they have there are already deprecated. In addition, if you have more complex requirements which their documentation cannot meet, which is more often the case, that is where the issue lies as you need to do a lot of research, trial and error, and what not because documentation isn't really complete. It would have been better if there were online courses.

### "Great tool for collaborative work"

January 1, 2023

4.0

Overall a good experience as compared to the other market tools.

Pros

I like that the user can write down requirements and keep all the documentation related to a particular requirement under a project. The board displays all the tasks or change requests assigned to different users and can be easily filtered as per the user needs.

Cons

Sometimes the navigation doesn't work properly. The attachments sometime don't get saved and there's no auto save feature, so if you make any changes and you navigate to a different page by mistake without saving your work, the changes get lost.

### "Good choice for application development."

March 2, 2023

4.0

Overall i find microsoft azure to be a good choice for website development because of its efficient debugging and integrated development environment.

Pros

The website building with microsoft azure is safe and reliable with effective results and outputs, because the debugging works very efficiently. There is top level data security that is very important to me. The cloud computing is also very good and very useful. The deployment management is also efficient.

Cons

I feel that the version control is although very good but the source control can be even more improved. The access controls also need to be increased with even more effective tools being made available.

### "Best Cloud Provider Tool"

March 1, 2023

4.0

Overall experience is good, Price for the product is high.

Pros

Azure Virtual Machines are readily scalable up or down to meet the client's demand. Also, they easily get connected with other Azure Services.

Cons

Azure Virtual machines are a bit pricey particularly for more extensive and more complicated applications.

Switched from

[AWS Cloud9](https://www.capterra.com/p/230175/AWS-Cloud9/)

Less extensive and complicated functions were offered.

### "Microsoft Azure the next best cloud"

February 10, 2023

4.0

Pros

I really liked that the options are seamless, the cloud can be off premise and of course on-premise. It also is open source allowing developers and users to do whatever they would like and develop.

Cons

I feel like the product could have been better described and better instructions and customer support options.

### "Microsoft Azure Review"

September 3, 2022

5.0

The cost and pricing structure with the savings programes that this cloud platform offers, which gives us numerous options to lower the cost of the cloud, is what I appreciate best about it. This has a pay-as-you-go option, an Enterprise discount option, and a restricted saving plans feature.

Pros

Scalability is one of Azure's key advantages. No more data packets are required to be purchased. You are able to buy what you require. Salesforce and Microsoft Office 365 are just two examples of Microsoft products that connect well with Azure.

Cons

Despite having a wide consumer base and high-quality items, it has not so good customer service. But given that businesses frequently encounter urgently fixable technical problems and server troubles, service will have to suffice.

my overall experience with Microsoft Azure is above expectation! really the best!!!

Pros

There are many good things but the most important thing is Strong security and compliance features! Microsoft Azure is well-regarded for its security and compliance features, which are important considerations for businesses handling sensitive data. It offers a range of tools and resources to help businesses protect their data and meet regulatory requirements.

Cons

Microsoft Azure is complex to navigate and may require a learning or some knowledge for users who are new to cloud computing.

May 16, 2023

5.0

Pros

I think azure is a worth to give a try platform specially for developers. I started working with azure for past 3 years and now I'm using most of their services in m company. Some of them are storage services, load balancer, container services, cosmos db and virtual machines. Azure is scalable and we need to pay for what we are using.

Cons

Azure is complex and it is must to have idea and knowledge on how to use these services.

### "One of the big 3 cloud providers, good for almost all use-cases I think"

February 20, 2020

5.0

Good platform, with good tools and a big open source community around it. They have a solution for everything I needed. If you're not an expert though, consider using some abstraction on top of a (bare) cloud provider though, like Begin.com, Heroku, Netlify etc.

Pros

It does mostly everything you need, and then some. It has good integrations and 3rd party partners, like existing images for VMs that are not just bare Windows/Linux. As a fullstack developer, it served all of my needs.

Cons

The UI is clunky and slow, in comparison with AWS or even GCP. It does look nicer, but that's not my main concern when choosing a cloud provider.
