December 19, 2018 5.0 Pros I really love how shallow the learning curve is when getting started with Azure for the first time. Most functionality for 90% of business use cases can be accessed via the Azure portal, and more functionality keeps getting added every month. The way the portal workflows make sense and is a lot more intuitive than the same workflow in AWS. Cons There are very few things to dislike about Azure. If I had to say anything, it would be that some of the more "power user" configuration options are only available via Powershell. Review Source PD Pinaki D.

Pros The very easy to use user interface making it beginners friendly and also the use of inbuilt cloud shell making deployment much easier Cons Deployement of resources is bit slow as compared to other cloud service provider and the absence of dedicate machine learning tools which are present in google cloud platform Review Source PH Pablo H.

Développeur Web Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Microsoft Azure est un service cloud hybride " October 21, 2023 5.0 Je l'ai utilisé pour un projet à l'entreprise et il répondait parfaitement à mon attente Pros Flexibilité, sécurité à point, intégration facile Cons Complexe pour les débutants, intégration limitée avec les solutions non Microsoft Review Source VR Verified Reviewer DBA Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust Cloud Platform" December 1, 2020 5.0 We use Azure as a platform to deliver virtual servers in the cloud. Active Directory services among other Microsoft services. Pros Access to high performance servers paid for use. In this way we can scale high performance only for times of great need, without having to rent monthly. Easy deployment of servers and applications in the cloud. Cons The billing and usage reporting system is extremely complex to understand. There is even an attempt by Dashboar, but it is not clear to understand the cost of each resource and understand the charges Review Source PB Prashanth B. Associate Director Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloud is a double edged sword, not a silver bullet" September 9, 2021 4.0 Pros Azure provides rich APIs, SDK and tools for automating deployments, administration. We migrated our Kubernetes deployments to Azure and the flexibility and scalability it offers is really convenient. Cons There's a steep learning curve to Azure (and other Cloud providers as well) to be able to take full advantage of it's capabilities, architecting the solutions properly. Pricing is on the higher end. Not suitable for all architectures. Cloud is not a silver bullet. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer DevOps Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Azure Cloud - The best Cloud" September 16, 2018 5.0 Its enabled us to have DevOps practices within our organization and really reap the benefits Pros The Dashboard - makes deployments simple ARM Templates - make automated deployments easy. APIs and PowerBI reporting for Costs New features and VM sizes that are constantly released. Geo locations - make for replication to all major locations. Cons No phone support - tickets must be logged first via the Azure portal, when a major issue happens in your resources location you dont get a response on the ticket for days despite priority. Review Source RH Rich H. Product Owner Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Azure for managing work" October 20, 2020 5.0 For those working on large scale, intricate projects, better and more robust than Jira for work tracking, backlog refinement. Pros The layout of the backlog or sprints. It's nice to see the options of adding columns to see tags, iteration path, who the story is assigned to etc., I can easily email or download from each query. The navigation for overview, work items etc. is laid out very well, when switching between sprints, backlog, repos, pipelines artifacts. Cons The navigation/movement between teams, projects and other hugher level items is a bit clunky; you choose from drop downs. Yes, you can mark them as favorites, but then your list of favorites grows. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Enterprise decision to get everyone on the same platform Review Source MP Matteo P. Product Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful but too slow" March 24, 2023 3.0 Pros Its functionality to let you work at home or very distantly from your office with the possibility to share files on cloud and on directiories on line Cons The fact that sometimes is very slow, expecially when you use Microsoft Excel and Gmail Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Professor Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Expensive but great cloud providing platform by Microsoft for development" April 13, 2019 4.0 Extremely great solution for cloud services but not a value for money. Really expensive, but if you have those extra spare bucks, it's really worth exploring! Pros A simple and great platform that provides top notch features and functionalities by Microsoft for development, testing and project management purposes. Built by Microsoft, automatically gives me complete trust on having our personal data shared on cloud and managing data for corporate internally or across teams. It is highly reliable, secure and scalable. It is ranked among the top 5 cloud services provided by the top company Microsoft. I would also love to appreciate the fact that my initial career started by using Azure services, creating resources, APIs, processing data over cloud using CosmosDB and much more, so I really appreciate the services provided. Cons Extremely expensive for every service and resource provided by Microsoft Azure. Strong competitor to GCP (Google Cloud Platform), Alibaba Cloud and AWS (Amazon Web Services) but not a real value for money when it comes to pricing of resources. Review Source HAN Hazel Ann N. Customer Service Representative Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft Azure Review" December 4, 2022 5.0 Pros It connects me to the customers from all over the world.

Software Engineer Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and really friendly for beginners" June 28, 2018 5.0 Pros I have used google cloud computing , amazon web services and microsoft azure. i still use all three of them for different purposes but i must say the ease of use and the process flow is best in microsoft azure anyone without much experience can easily get going with it which is little harder with others Cons lack of features as compares to amazon web services the fact that i like least about this software azure is easy and user friendly but the services they provide are still lesser Review Source KS Krishnan S. Programmer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Azure for Devops and Agile" June 26, 2020 5.0 We have been using agile for close to 4 years and so far agile is essential to our everyday business. It increases our efficiency as well as our productivity. Pros Azure is a very powerful tool that we use it everyday in our organisation. 1. Azure for devops. Performing continuous integration, right from setting up the pipeline to trigger automated builds, when a developer checks in a code. 2. Ability to plug in to various tools like Appcenter, AWS,when setting up the pipeline. Hence there is no boundaries when using Azure. 3. Azure for agile is a big plus. We maintain our backlogs, sprints and track our work items in Azure. 4. Azure for test management. We use azure to track our bugs, maintain our test plans. 5. Ability to support various version controls like GIT, TFS. Cons I do not see any Cons with Azure. Azure is a great tool altogether and it is a one stop solution for both developers and testers. Review Source Krishna L. Human Resources Generalist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Development is more manageable" January 18, 2022 4.0 It has a lot of features and administrations that are standard for all the big toothpick providers. Great substance of the empty zones. Certainly several options for structured assignments in case you're not working with Microsoft's innovative hill. Pros Microsoft Azure is a really decent platform in contrast to others. It has a package of highlights and coordination capabilities with other schedules/scenarios. Azure DevOps is a colossal workflow upgrade, assuming you're good with instant merchant transportation. Cons The web user interface is continually different and smooth and can very well be disconcerting. Microsoft really needs to develop its core instruments. It's weird because I feel like, within the Windows OS, the impacts are for the most part easy to work out once you understand Microsoft's parlance. Review Source Tim F. Systems Engineer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Azure is a reliable, affordable cloud platform." March 7, 2018 4.0 Pros We use Azure mainly to supplement on-premises servers. Obviously, the platform is geared towards Windows, but Linux is pretty well supported. We found the administration a bit easier than what we've seen with AWS. Pricing is also more affordable. Cons Administration, while being fairly easy, often involved knowing exactly where you need to go in the web ui. Support is pretty much a gamble at best. We've often found answers online before tech support even got back in touch with us. Review Source DC Daniele C. Infrastrucure Specialist Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A powerfull platform" August 31, 2022 5.0 We started using Azure for both infrastructure and Active directory. We are impressed by its funcionalities and flexibility Pros Azure is extremelly costumizable and can bend to every necessity a company might have. You can find a solution for almost every problem Cons It is not very user friendly, and you need a background in networking to use it properly. I suggest to have a specific training for every admin that is approaching this tool for the first time Alternatives considered [AWS Config](https://www.capterra.com/p/205398/AWS-Config/)[Google Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/268690/Google-Cloud-Platform/) Switched from [Google Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/247901/Google-Workspace/)[AWS Config](https://www.capterra.com/p/205398/AWS-Config/) We needed a single enviroment for the company Review Source VR Verified Reviewer web developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "microsoft azure rerview" February 28, 2023 5.0 overall experience is good but there is some space for improvements. Pros it is flexible and has scalability and reliability.No security issues. Cons it is complex to use at first time ans customer support is not that responsive. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Team Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Azure feedback" September 22, 2019 4.0 Started using Azure 4 years ago and still use it. Transparent and dynamic pricing is also good features of Azure. Pros Our company uses Azure for almost all internal cloud solution, mostly used services are App Services, CDN, SQL Server, SSAS. Customer support is great - usually issues are resolved within one business days, however sometimes it can take several rounds of discussions. Cons Not all methods are accessible using API, so sometimes need to wait until SDK for specific programming language is released. Review Source ZAiN R. Web Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft Azure - A to Z package" November 10, 2022 5.0 All physical servers have been moved to the cloud.Cheaper than physical servers Pros A to Z cloud package, with various types of storages and other integrated services. It's the Microsoft eco-system with everything connected.It just works. Cons Pricing could be better and pricing structure could be more simplified.Different regions has different pricing.

Review Source Everton V. Support Analyst Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Complete Administration with Azure" July 2, 2019 5.0 The bigger the environment, the more difficult the administration. Azure came to solve this kind of situation. With the ease that is found with Azure, we can invest more time before we spend with small problems, in improving and guaranteeing the operation. Because Microsoft's service covers practically full-time operation, we no longer have to worry about malfunctions or offline structure Pros Azure is Microsoft's complete tool for those migrating to a cloud environment. Azure includes several tools, the ones I used most were Azure AD and Exchange Online (Office 365). As we did not migrate the environment entirely to the cloud, we used a hybrid environment with AD and Office 365. Azure is the future of administration in Windows environments, where I can control access, users and emails in a single web-based login. Cons Some functions work better on the old portal, I do not know what happens and there is no information from Microsoft regarding this. I use by default the classic portal, it is more intuitive and all the daily functions are better managed in it. Review Source Similar Products Featured
