### "A software in which protects and manages our most important resource - data"

September 10, 2022

5.0

Superb so far.

Pros

The software integrates very well with our system. It is fluid when it deals with our day-to-day activities in the company. The data we collect and study are well taken care of by the software.

Cons

I have encountered a few technical bugs when dealing with the software. This is maybe due to an increase of highly intensive tasks which I subject the system to.

### "My Azure review"

January 13, 2023

4.0

The server is super fast, uptime is something like 98%, my server crashed once, but prices fume you especially if performance is your priority.

Pros

I can run a livestream on YouTube using the Windows server for longer hours even without internet service.

Cons

The cost per transferred data is high especially while livestreaming high quality resolutions with the virtual server.

### "A trusted and well performing cloud platform"

February 25, 2023

5.0

I can say that this is one of the leading cloud solutions available nowadays. I can recommend this mainly for large scale companies that have large set of data and scaling features to run in the cloud.

Pros

Azure gives realistic solutions for the problems that large scale companies face. It is a reliable and secure platform which provides us large set of features like compute, security, databases, disaster recovery, storage and network. I can integrate with virtual devices using azure.

Cons

For me the main concern that I faced was the learning curve and the complexity.

### "A complete platform"

December 12, 2018

5.0

Regarding my experience with Azure, I can say that it is a quite complete platform, which has a great variety of tools to migrate your company to the cloud, without relying on a physical infrastructure. Likewise, it has a large number of plans to which you can adapt according to your needs and budget.

Pros

Personally I like the ease it has to increase the capacity of virtual machines. Additionally, it has many back-up and recovery plans. I should also mention that the customer service of Microsoft is pretty good, being the time of attention very fast and timely.

Cons

The only thing I should mention with regard to this aspect is that in my opinion the price is a bit high compared to the competition.

### "Azure has proven to be quite easy to manage and navigate, I've been pleased"

March 5, 2019

5.0

Overall I've been pleased with Azure and I hope to continue using it for some basic web hosting, and some B2C things at my job. The essential equivalent of cloud-based Active Directory is actually quite handy in an environment that thrives on Single-Sign-On.

Pros

Azure, in my opinion, is somewhat similar to something like Amazon Web Services but in comparison I feel like it was much easier to figure out what was what with Azure where-as everything has really strange names and organization with AWS. I like how Azure has their navigation laid out and presents their products in a meaningful way.

Cons

I am not typically a Microsoft developer so, in the past, anything MS related kind of gave me the heebeejeebees. I've got to say, though, once I gave Azure a try I was glad that I got over my initial judgement because, frankly, it was unfounded. I've not really found any cons yet with Azure, some things have really improved over the last several months so it's hard to find anything wrong with it.

### "Great if you have a background in Windows admin"

July 3, 2018

5.0

Microsoft Cloud and ease of admin

Pros

One of the great features of Azure is the ease of setup. Our team was surprised how many resources Microsoft has for their platforms. If you are an experienced Microsoft admin it should be a breeze

Cons

On the downside, we found that it is one of the more costly solutions and given the extreme competition in this area, companies like Amazon and Google should make you be very careful before committing to Azure.

Pros

Azure is a great cloud that everyone should use to store their server. the cloud is fast and very responsive.

### "I have a positive experience Microsoft Azure is a flexible, solid and secure cloud platform that all"

May 8, 2018

4.0

Among the benefits offered by Microsoft Azure is that of cost reduction: Unlike investing in acquiring and maintaining the hardware in your company, the cloud option offers you to avoid the purchase and significant savings in energy consumption, support and maintenance. Flexibility: The cloud allows you to quickly obtain more or less resources / server power according to the need at each moment, without investments in assets. Targeting: Infrastructure as a service allows you to free up time and resources up to that point destined to maintain your own infrastructure, to direct them to tasks of greater value for your business among others.

Pros

it helps us to respond quickly to changes in the needs of the company, by allowing us to expand or reduce IT resources based on their use, since Azure

Cons

This tool seems very positive because it allows our applications to have more or less allocated resources based on actual use. It offers flexible, secure, unlimited and economical file storage. We can obtain IT resources immediately and without the need to invest in assets

### "Ever Growing Product"

December 1, 2020

5.0

Microsoft Azure is at the forefront of technology. The features and range set are constantly updating, so at times it can be difficult to stay up to date, but the same goes for most cloud software. There is serious money to be saved for organisations if deployed correctly.

Pros

\- The size of Microsoft is rapidly growing and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. - The ease of deployment, gone are the days of setting up physical servers for a week. - Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity features are fully loaded.

Cons

\- You must perform a deep cost benefit analysis to justify the product. - As the product range is moving at pace, sometimes even Microsoft support find it difficult to stay up to date.

### "Excellent as an alternative to AWS or Google Cloud"

April 23, 2019

5.0

We chose Azure to strategically diversify our cloud hosting services away from AWS and Google Cloud. Given the nature of our business, Amazon and Google already have a multitude of data about our customers. In case either of them decided to directly compete with us, we wanted to have a Plan B for cloud services.

Pros

It's an excellent alternative to Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud. If you compete with either of these companies, or if you're hesitant about handing them all of your usage data, Azure is a great choice. Microsoft doesn't compete in many retail industries, so they're more of a neutral player.

Cons

It's a Microsoft product, so you're going to have unexplained glitches for which you'll need to contact support. It's more complex than Google Cloud or AWS, so you often can't troubleshoot the issues yourself.

### "Best cloud based computing service for the money"

September 13, 2018

5.0

moving to office 365 this bridges the gaps between our local domain and the cloud domain

Pros

The free trial made it a great option to try out and see what services were useful for our company. Also the free options for AD sync and other services within are just awesome

Cons

To get some of the more robust features it can get kind of pricey. But I suppose that is expected. Also the AD sync tool had some quirks and sometimes stops syncing

### "Great alternative to AWS with competitive pricing"

February 2, 2019

5.0

Pricing is good, the user interface is easier compared to AWS, but needs word to be awesome, also a more easier version of Azure could be great.

Pros

Has a lot of types of services (DB, Instances and IoT) and you can run a lot of premade servers so you don't have to install from scratch, the pricing is competitive vrs AWS and also is easier to use than AWS, is more streamlined but still rich in options.

Cons

A lot of plugs for Microsoft services, Doesn´t have a version for non IT people like AWS Lightsail or Digital Ocean. Not as much VMs templates variety as AWS, the support speed is great as well.

### "Azure is the Best and Reliable Virtual Machine "

September 16, 2022

4.0

overall, azure provide good, reliable & secure connection.

Pros

i used many paid and free virtual machines like Azure,Amazon Cloud, google Cloud etc.. compared to all of them, azure is the best and reliable virtual machine. azure provide fast and secure connection with low cost.

Cons

for personal study purpose, azure is expensive. i know that students can use azure for free for some times, but it needs educational institution email address. but, its not free for personal use. if azure provide a free limited use for all, it will be the top feature of azure.

### "Flexibility at the cost of everything else"

October 28, 2021

4.0

Pros

The enormous array of services and functionality provide more flexibility than almost all other PaaS.

Cons

Abysmal UI/UX. User management is extremely convoluted even for simple use cases – would appreciate simple setup with additional optional options. Recently deployments fail for random reasons so need to be supervised closely.
