### "High Quality Cloud Services"

April 30, 2019

5.0

Azure allows me to spin up quick servers and VM's for professional and personal projects with ease.

Pros

Azure provides many cloud services. You can spin up servers, databases, website, VM's, you name it within seconds as well as managing scaling, fault tolerance, and load balancing. The machine options available are vast in terms of memory, processing and graphics processing power. Since Azure is provided by Microsoft, it is particularly easy to implement Microsoft products like Windows Server VM's and MS SQL servers. Another benefit is that Students get approx. $200 in free credit for certain machines. This is great for comp sci and cybersecurity students to build a virtual environment.

Cons

While pricing is fairly consistent compared to AWS and Google Cloud. All three including Azure lacks a real definitive way to predict what the total cost will be. It seems fuzzy and more often than not you can get a ballpark, but it seems like it would be too easy to accidentally overshoot it. That said like mentioned previously this is just what the industry is, so its not just Azure, but Azure suffers from this fault.

### "Maximizing Your Cloud Computing with Microsoft Azure: A Comprehensive Review"

January 31, 2023

5.0

Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of cloud services for businesses. It is known for its scalability, flexibility, strong security features, good performance, and large user community. However, it has steep pricing, complexity for new users, limited customization options, and limited control over hardware, and compatibility issues. It may not be the best option for those on a budget or who require more control over hardware.

Pros

Scalability and flexibilityWide range of cloud services and solutionsIntegration with other Microsoft productsStrong security and compliance featuresGood performance and reliabilityThe large and active user community

Cons

Steep pricing compared to other cloud servicesComplexity for new usersLimited customization optionsLimited control over hardware resourcesLimited compatibility with non-Microsoft platformsOccasional performance and reliability issues.

### "Azure guarantees everything you could expect from a high-end cloud service provider"

November 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that Azure offers a lot of features of any kind, almost everything you would think about and expect from a cloud service provider, they probably have it. They also offer free credits in BizSpark program and for non-profits. Also their marketplace and one-click installs are a quick and easy way to get started with your cloud projects, no matter your skill level.

Cons

All of the features also makes it pretty complicated for beginners. It is really easy to mess things up if you do not know exactly what some functionality does. Their new UI is a little unusual, there are not many web apps with vertical scrolling on body.

### "Fantastic, reliable and affordable product of Microsoft."

August 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

The benefits of Azure software are in thousands. This software can be easily installed and implement with numerous storage options. Gives excellent services for running any sort of business. The best part of this software is that it is easy to start and manage. I strongly love the stability of this software due to which it is frequently used on large scale for handling critical applications and for hosting all cloud services. It's graphical interface is highly appreciable.

Cons

As a regular software user, I do not have any complaints about this software. What I like least about this software is that life cycle management options are missing. I would like to suggest that it's transparency in price should be improved. This software is quite expensive to be brought by anyone.

### "Microsoft Azure is a great platform to create your machine learning models."

December 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

I started using Microsoft Azure two years ago to do my machine learning projects. First I was a little skeptical about Azure platform but later I realized it is the best place to run and deploy my models. Azure contains everything you need to make a model from the scratch. Data preprocessing can be easily done with this. Since Microsoft Azure has a good user interfaces everything can be completed without wasting much time.

Cons

The only concern I have is pricing of this software. I personally think that Microsoft can reduce the price tag a little bit down so even an average scale organization can purchase the software.

### "Azure for coders and no coders"

August 25, 2022

5.0

I am using Free trial now and for free account, they give USD 200 Azure credits with which you could explore. I had used Virtual Machine service, also Azure functions all of which were great. I didn't face a problem while deploying VM or using Azure Functions. I found it very useful and time saving.

Pros

The best thing about Azure is that they have detailed instructions about each of their services available in layman's term with examples to anyone who seeks them and one doesn't has to hire an expert to use the services. They also has solutions for almost everything.

Cons

The fact that it is not yet available in most of the esat Asian countries apart from India, and china.

Nothing but positive experiences using their tools for application development and database management, in addition to source control and team management.

Pros

Microsoft Azure integrates well with our Microsoft AD accounts and offers a suite of integrative products for application development and user needs.

There are some places in the Azure management platform that are redundant or can be hard to navigate to.

### "Great cloud service"

November 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

Our company has been using Azure for over 3 years. I can say with confidence that this is a great cloud service. With Microsoft virtual machines, we process a large amount of packet data daily and pay less than we would if we had our own hardware. But most of all I like that Microsoft virtual machines are adapted to work with any operating system.

Cons

Overall, the platform is great. A small drawback - data recovery can be performed only for an additional fee. I would also like the developers to add new types of subscriptions (for example, not with per-minute payment for the use of resources, but with a fixed price).

Pros

Generally stable once instances are up and running, and easy connectivity. Better is support than Aws.
