### "Trade-offs of Microsoft Azure"

May 31, 2023

5.0

Pros

It is very helpful in developing, deploying and managing applications and services for all types of organizations, from startups to large enterprises. Being a cloud storage platform, it not only provides users with durable storage but also high availability and security.

Cons

Although Azure seeks to provide high availability, there are still some possibilities for service interruptions or downtime. So, users/organizations should plan for better or possible service interruptions and consider implementing disaster recovery techniques.

### "one of Top Cloud service provider"

December 17, 2022

5.0

Azure provides a variety of services and it helps the user to concentrate more on business logic rather than building and maintaining infrastructure and software application

Pros

azure synapse makes the entire process of data pipeline very easy and if you have a large amount of data processing then azure synapse is one of the best solutions

Cons

I least like azure synapse log trouble shooting.

December 12, 2017

5.0

quick to put web applications up! it's a complicated system but once you get used to it it makes sense.

Pros

It's very powerful and helps with quick projects that you do not want to buy dedicated servers for. I would recommend using the documentation.

Overall, I am happy and satisfied to use it as a tool for assigning and distributing tasks.

The User Interface, we use it for our tasks distribution as a part of our agile methodology.

Cons

So far, everything works well. sometimes there are bugs that make dashboards act differently but it can be resolved with a simple patch.

### "Has a lot of depth and possibilities "

February 15, 2019

4.0

Pros

Azure has the ability to do almost anything you'd want in terms of hosting a custom software solution.

Cons

There is a steep learning curve with a lot of the Azure technology. There is a reason why some people specialize in this.

### "Microsoft Azure for model developpent and deployment."

January 23, 2023

5.0

Microsoft Azure is an awesome cloud-based product. I enjoyed the student-free account to implement a machine-learning model for credit card fraud detection and it was an awesome experience that yielded a good result and grades from my class tutor.

Pros

One of the most important features of this product is the pay-per-service, and to my surprise, the money would not be charged based on the number of minutes spent on the site... It is charged based on processing time. Also, the product has a free course on how to use azure from A to Z. It eases my class project development in Cyber Security.

Cons

The Gigabyte issued to students should be increased even though it is free with a student account. This would help both owners and users because the more we use it the more we spread the news about the product and its features. Also, the deployment should be made easy on the student account too.

### "Easily the most useful software tool in the IT arsenal."

December 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

I can set up kiosks and public use computers virtually and limit their access to the base pc. In a center that caters to certain demographics, having the actual PC away from the user is a $ saver.

Cons

It's Azure, things don't always work as they should without having to randomly roll back or restart.

### "Azure excels at catering to growth startups with plans that are accessible"

January 28, 2019

4.0

Overall, the single most important quality of a trusted provider is reliability and security. Azure has this in spades, so there's never a concern there. Their willingness to work with small startups is also a major benefit. With a little more attention to their UI and UX, Azure could be tough to beat in the future.

Pros

Azure's startup program is first rate. Microsoft is clearly trying to attract smaller startups that it hopes will grow in their ecosystem, so it's really catering to them. Besides the favorable terms and excellent customer support, the uptime and reliability are would you would expect from a real AWS competitor.

Cons

Having used AWS and several other infrastructure providers, I would say Azure's UI still has a ways to go before it's really accessible. The menus are often an interminable rabbit hole of options that simply have no end. Better categorization and UI simplification are imperative if Azure is going to truly compete with AWS and others coming up. Some of this is somewhat mitigated by their fantastic customer support that is always willing to help when you're stuck with something and constantly checking in.

### "It's still not AWS but it's improving. "

January 15, 2019

4.0

Good alternative for AWS ... if you for some reason need one.

Pros

I'm a big AWS fan so Azure looks for me a little primitive at first but i have too say that it's improving. If you looking for AWS alternative or need to create fully redundand, provider independend IT architecture you should definitely consider Azure.

Cons

Azure is 100% M$ product concentrated, AWS is more Linux/Unix friendly.

### "Azure for the Cloud"

May 12, 2019

4.0

I like it and would recommend it.

Pros

We have been using Azure in the cloud with Office 365 for a few years now. It’s high availability and security have been a pleasure to work with. All of our employees have an account that is backed up and safe, not to mention able to be accessed from anywhere. Azure has provided us affordability without having to host inside our walls with a server. It’s affordability is great too. You can pay as you go.

Cons

Once in a blue moon, we may have to contact Microsoft’s Help desk for some back end issues, but they are pretty minor and they have us working again quickly.

### "Keeping Things Organized"

March 3, 2022

5.0

Pros

I personally like knowing that users information is stored in another area and on the cloud. This has been a great service for me and those in my company. There are a lot a features like Active Directory, which I use to keep things organized. It's great to see email accounts and users accounts can combine together.

Cons

There isn't anything I've experienced with this software that has ruined my experience with Azure. There is a bit a learning to do when seeing all of the features.

### "High performance server manager"

November 28, 2018

It has helped me in the software development I do for telefonica venezuela. Being able to handle the azure at the visual studio level seems to me a plus for all these microsoft technologies

Pros

high performance on your servers, integration with my project .net and development of c #. Importing servers both Microsoft and any type (even ORACLE), its high performance when working virtual machines is impressive. High performance in cloud services

Cons

At the level of importation with the visual studio community, it is a bit slow when making SQL calls through your console

### "Best Cloud Product"

January 31, 2021

5.0

Awesome, now we dnt need extra database and at the same time we dont worry about it being low. We pay as per use and the support from azure is outatanding

Pros

I like the easiness with which a azure migration can be done, we migrated our In house trading system to azure cloud with much ease

Cons

If Azure's cost can be reduced it can beat AWS and most of the in house infrastructure will move to azure cloud

### "Microsoft Azure"

June 9, 2023

4.0

Overall, Azure provides excellent scalability and its flexibility is particularly useful for businesses with fluctuating work loads or seasonal demands.

Pros

Azure offers a wide range of services and solutions including storage, databases, analytics, machine learning etc. enabling users to build and deploy multiple applications without relying on multiple providers.

Cons

Azure's extensive services and options can be overwhelming, especially for users who are new to cloud computing. So it might take little to understand and utilize the platform effectively.

### "One of the better Microsoft products"

April 22, 2022

4.0

I am a web developer that had to learn to also do dev-ops duties. It was quite a learning process but after a while it becomes quite pleasant to use.

Pros

It gives most solutions the required resource flexibility they could require. The CI/CD Pipelines integrate nicely with source control solutions. I like the interface. I find it clean and intuitive enough.

Cons

We struggled to create Bicep IOC templates for an API Management resource with all our requirements. Particularly there were unexpected co-dependencies between it and other resources that let to misconfigurations. Would love to see robust Performance Testing solutions re-added to the Azure package.
