### "Analytics made easy!"

March 14, 2018

4.0

The offering of the Azure suite is a lot. The use and learning of the program is not hard but the number of items available can be overwhelming for the novice and advanced user.

Pros

The new Azure system is out of this world. Normally with data and cloud-based tech, there is a steep learning curve. Azure makes it too easy where you don't have to know the language if you want to use it. People not fluent in R and other statistical languages will have a no problem with its new drop coding feature. Also the machine learning is out of this world.

### "Azure means bright(easy)-PaaS"

April 14, 2017

5.0

The best part of azure is that we never find it hard to use. It has so many features under a single banner. For windows lover it is a boon. It has container features and it is easy to manipulate in accordance with your needs. You can not find a similar platform as a service for windows, also it can be used for linux platform too. We do have clients with similar needs and we give them the much needed for their requirements Microsoft Azure. Cheers!! to server capability enhancements and the flexibility provided. No one can beat it,s simplified data storage feature.

Pros

Simplified data storage is the best thing and it provides a very good working UI. It also has a flexible system for every business need.

Cons

I don,t like it charging too much but they deserve appreciation for what they made.

### "Azure makes Machine Learning easy"

December 1, 2018

5.0

I used this for almost all my course related work. With a good internet connection there is nothing you can't do with Azure.

Pros

Azure has built in functions that make machine learning model development easy. Datasets can be imported pretty easily. Even data preprocessing is easy in Azure.

Cons

I personally feel like monthly fee is a bit expensive. That is the only concern I have.

### "Azure Review"

October 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

Stable and reliable. The redundancy it can offer as well is very good for mitigating downtime. Good documentation and support.

Cons

I would say that if its your first time dipping into virtual environments and systems then this could be over kill and could be confusing. I don't know if this is a specific Con for Azure though as any virtual system like this if you are unfamiliar would be difficult to get up and running. Good documentation support as listed in the Pros section would help with this.

### "Great Platform for Cloud Services"

December 5, 2022

5.0

The overall experience is rather good.

Pros

A number of services are available in one place which makes it prefarable to be used as a goto cloud option.

Cons

Prices are a bit high compared to other cloud service providers and in some cases the support is very slow in resolving the issues

### "Microsoft Azure"

April 10, 2021

5.0

I am using Azure App services for supporting client web applications. I feel much comfortable in working in Azure compared to other cloud providers. The Azure portal is very user friendly and makes life easier in handling daily activites.

Pros

Being application developer , i like the development feature in the Azure. Deployment of the web applications are extremely easy. Just download the publish profile and import in the application for deployment. I love to use PAAS for web development. We don't have to worry about the environment. Authorization and authentication is very easy in the Azure. Resource management is very easy.

Cons

I almost like every feature of Azure .Debugging quality should be improved in Azure as i feel we get less access in debugging the issues in Azure apps.

### "Azure is the best fit for large enterprises"

March 12, 2019

4.0

For large enterprises, with hundreds of different types of applications, multiple vendors and locations around the globe, Azure is the right choice.

Pros

Microsoft is always improving its cloud offer. Every day there is a new functionality available in Azure. It can fit all workloads, from small and simple to big and complex. Security and monitoring are very well done and can cover all requirements. IaaS capabilities are strong - as devops, data and analytics. Early adopters are welcome as private and public previews are very stable.

Cons

Microsoft knows their cloud capabilities are strong - and they use this in contract negotiations, sometimes making hard to get good deals. Pricing for Windows Server machines could be better - not the same as other competitors.

Microsoft Azure is the most reasonable, practical, and secure public cloud framework stage.

Pros

An adaptable and versatile cloud stage,Microsoft Azure is the ideal public cloud stage.

Cons

Microsoft Azure is a high level cloud stage when contrasted with the opposition anyway their client service is missing and estimating could do with progress except for Dev-Test valuing.

### "Everything you need in one place"

April 3, 2019

5.0

I was working with a software team and we were using it for he web server and database server. As it was startup project we were using with the limited money but the money that we paid and what we get is more that excellent and if I ahve the same project in future am more than welcome to use Azure again.

Pros

Azure is a paltform where all the needed tools have been collected and you just need to pick the ones you need and use them as soon as you pay. In Azure you can find the product for various kind of areas for example you want to deploy a webpage and you need a server just choose the right resources and pay according to your decsion and go on, you want a database and choose and pay you are done, there are many areas like this which you need to manage the infrastructure of your company. Morever the management and maintenace of this paltform is easy. They have really nice customer service and they are always ready to help you.

Cons

When I have used this platform first time I was very frustrated or a guy with less experience it is a bit complicated but by the time you can easly learn the things.

March 26, 2019

4.0

it has been a good 1.5 year relationship so far. Little down time.. reliable and robust.

Pros

Very little down time, lots of support, good value for the money (scales as you scale)

Cons

Was a little tricking setting up the site the first time and accessing accounts. Already had a personal account and the corporate account would not register. But eventually got it fixed.

### "The future of Microsoft's cloud"

February 5, 2019

4.0

We moved to the cloud because of our need for expandable storage. For all of our querying work, we've seen vast improvements on job run times and ad hoc analysis. There's so much to learn here that it's a little intimidating, but I embrace the new technology and look forward to learning more.

Pros

Scalability comes standard with all cloud databases, but the way Azure works feels much better than other clouds out there. Microsoft has been in the database industry for a very long time and this product shows the capabilities that Microsoft can offer with all of its background expertise.

Cons

Setting up was a bit of an issue. Also, the learning curve for some of the new features is high, but this pays off in the long run.

### "Great overall with could use some improvements"

September 30, 2020

5.0

Great reliability and security features that gives us peace of mind but could use some interface revamp.

Pros

Integrates very well with traditional office software like Microsoft Word where other cloud systems do not.

Cons

Azure could use a make-up to make it look simpler like Google. It's somewhat harder to train users for Azure as there is some getting used to.

### "Azure for IOT"

September 17, 2023

4.0

Pros

Azure is very user friendly ,reliable, secure and scalable.as a product development engineer dealing with IOT , some of the most impactful features are ,IOT hub which enables you to stream telemetry data directly to azure from IOT device, stream analytics which enables you to get telemetry data and store it in azure cloud storage accounts ,power bi to visualize streamed and azure machine learning for predictive analysis.Integrating Azure is very easy ,with few YouTube tutorials you are able to get up to speed very fast.

Cons

For first time users , its a bit of a learning curve trying to figure out how to setup the various product it offers and also requires additional knowledge to troubleshoot , having a better predefined user interface like having a section for IOT with products you need for IOT only would make it easier to use and integrate.

### "Azure: utilissimo per le aziende. "

Pros

L'innovazione del cloud e la possibilità di gestire API e risorse aziendali tramite una piattaforma affidabile. Dunque flessibilità, scalabilità e soprattutto comodità.

### "Performing Data center Tasks From ANYWHERE"

January 10, 2019

5.0

This is an amazing technology which we can access from anywhere and secured as well. there are a lot of features the same as or more in the on-premises data center. we can deploy virtual machines, storage servers, Applications, Databases, Load Balancers and more features are there as well

Pros

There are a lot of features that I like in this product. This is easy to implement from the Azure Mangement Console because the user interface is easy to use and understand. it is easy to deploy virtual machines and we can edit access permissions from virtual firewalls as well. So security is good. We have used this for deploying Remote desktop infrastructure for access applications easily. one of the most advantages is we do not worry about physical server security, power, cooling, natural disasters for the data center. only we need to do is implement corectly and patching and updating servers and other components correctly

Cons

when the internet connection is slow all are going slow and because this is cloud platforms, There can be happned cyber attack

### "We've used Azure for our web application hosting needs. It's full-featured and fairly easy to use."

March 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

There are tons of features available for hosting websites, web applications, APIs, etc. If you are hosting a .NET application, you can take advantage of their App Services option to abstract away the work involved with managing a virtual machine. But if you need a VM you can have one of those as well. I also enjoy the ability to easily view the metrics of your application/site, and instantly scale resources as required. Some of the higher-scale packages even offer the ability to have the load balancing and resource allocation done automatically.

Cons

Azure is expensive. You get a good bit for your money but boy do you pay for it. Scaling up into higher resource levels often involves doubling or tripling your monthly costs, even if you're not getting a corresponding percentage increase in your performance. Also, and maybe this is just a web apps thing, but there's not a dedicated IP filtering option built in for the web apps. You need to purchase an additional package or manage all of that through your site's web.config. That's a little annoying.
