Cons The support, you can get on the phone with someone very quick but most of the time they dont have the technical expertise to resolve the problem so you need to be passed around for a while until you resolve your problem, alot of the time ill fix it myself before Microsoft can.

I enjoy how easy it is to learn how to implement the various services that are part of azure. Cons I think what I least like about Azure is the lack of understanding of the pricing model and various subscription types. Its difficult to contact MS because when contacting MS they forward you to CSPs to purchase products. The support aspect of Azure is often lacking and is difficult to actually get support without going though many various hoops. Review Source Matta S.

Pros I like that most of the backward compatibility things are still present and that once you know the basics of AD from the old time, your transition into the cloud is greatly simplified. Although having packaged software, can induce cost - it is actually preemptive protection based, and very good. Cons I don't like packaged software and license deals, but with great flexibility comes great packaging. That could be better. Concerns about software being to pushy and keeping too much of the data. Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure Better scalability and compatibility Review Source AP Antoine P.

It is very helpful in controlling loads. Microsft have outdone themselves in making simple the process of creating and managing cloud assets in Azure. There are multiple ways of doing things also, choosing your way. If you want to create or manage resources through the portal, PowerShell, the .NET API, REST, etc. it is really up to you. The functionality of Azure and creating VM is quite easy and saves time. The dashboards are really helpful, and I think it's easy for beginners to start using.

Cons It is helpful if you are not familiar with Azure to do some online training course which will definitely take you a long way in mastering it and build your confidence in the product. It tends to use of resources and it times the VM shut down is slow and freezes. Review Source Shubham S. Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cloud Machine" March 30, 2019 3.0 I can say it's not so good nor so bad, using it from the last 1 year and it provides what we need. Overall an averageproduct. Pros Azure provides many functionalities like you can set up your machine on the server and can use that anywhere. Azure is cost saving as you are only paying for what you are using. It's very feasible. You can use the softwares at very low price as compare to the offline setup. Azure is very cost efficient. Cons It is not so easy to use. Required some skills before using this. You can not be totally depended on the server. High speed data is required for the proper working which is not possible at every place. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Data Scientist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Cloud has made my life easy" December 5, 2018 4.0 I use it for data mining and it helps me save money by doing everything on the cloud. The costs are minimal and it has helped us save money. Pros I like the fact that I can deploy virtual machines easily so I can do my tasks. It provides the ability to choose any region you want and even gives you the rate for each. The usage calculator allows me to see how much it would cost me potentially. The best thing is that I got a certain number of free hours with the VM and other services so it would be easy on the expenditure. The security options are easier to handle and don't require one to know much. There is a huge library of services available and the list keeps growing. Cons It takes time to deploy a VM and sometimes one is unable to use a certain region. The downtimes have been a bit costly for me as I ended up losing a lot of data when there was a global outage. Azure still has a lot of catching up to do with AWS and needs to improve the UX so that it's easy for one to get around.

Pros Whereas we used to do all this internally the complexity of what was needed far exceeded the value that Azure brings to the table. Scalability, redundancy and performance is unmatched as compared to Azure. Cons Dedicated access to our public IP's on Azure from our owned IP's would be a nice feature. Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure True windows platforms Review Source Samantha N. IT Project Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good cloud solution." June 7, 2018 4.0 Microsoft keeps the servers updated and I do not have to spend resources to perform service patches, urgent fixes or anything like that. Also, since Azure has such a high usage, a problem that a program encounters, when solved, benefits all Azure users. Pros It is easy to install, implement and manage. The configuration of a web application is simple and supports multiple technologies: java, .net, php. And they are compatible with WordPress, which makes starting work even easier, security functionality is top-notch and allows complete administrative control over all variables, including authentication and content, i also like the fact that Azure has dedicated heavy duty GPU servers that are often used for our VDI environments. Cons The documentation should be better. And the ability to create virtual private networks after configuring the servers. Review Source CM Carlos M.

The support from azure has been very good since the deployment. Pros The most liked offerings of Azure over other cloud services are PaaS capabilities, Net capabilities, Security Offerings, Integrated environment, Gentle Learning curve, Hybrid solutions for my project for seamless cloud connectivity. I deployed my project on a VM on Azure due to the above reasons. Cons My least liked features of Microsoft Azure are lack of Hyper-V snapshot support and also an inability to upload custom images. While spinning new machine takes longer for creation. Also, there is a lack of integrated backup. Other than these, I haven't found any drawbacks.

CEO Music Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Experience the Power of Microsoft Azure: Unleash the Potential of Your Business" January 22, 2023 5.0 As a music studio company, we recently decided to switch to Microsoft Azure for our cloud computing needs. One of the main reasons we chose Azure was for its scalability. We needed a platform that could handle our increasing amount of data and clients' projects as we grow. Azure was able to provide us with the resources we needed to ensure that our studio could handle the workload without any hiccups. Pros Microsoft Azure is a powerful and versatile cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of services for businesses of all sizes. One of the biggest pros of Azure is its scalability - it can easily handle the needs of small businesses, as well as large enterprises. This means that companies can start small and grow as their business expands, without having to worry about outgrowing their infrastructure.Another pro of Azure is its security. Microsoft has invested heavily in ensuring that Azure is one of the most secure cloud platforms on the market, with a wide range of security features and compliance certifications. This gives businesses peace of mind knowing that their data is safe and protected. Cons In terms of cons, Azure is not as cost-effective as some of its competitors. The pricing structure can be complex and can sometimes be more expensive than other cloud providers. Additionally, Azure's user interface can be difficult to navigate for those who are not familiar with it, which can make it challenging for some businesses to fully take advantage of all its features.
