La piattaforma è stata progettata per garantire la disponibilità continua dei servizi, anche in caso di guasti o interruzioni. Inoltre, Microsoft fornisce una vasta gamma di opzioni di sicurezza per proteggere i dati e le informazioni sensibili degli utenti. Cons Il costo di alcuni servizi può essere più elevato rispetto ad altre soluzioni cloud, e la configurazione di alcuni servizi può essere complessa per gli utenti meno esperti. Inoltre, la piattaforma potrebbe non essere la scelta migliore per le aziende che cercano una soluzione altamente personalizzabile. Review Source Hülya Y. Search Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Look the other way to Microsoft Azure " October 31, 2022 4.0 Pros I think that Azure has a variety of Virtual Machines (VMs) to meet all your application needs. And best of all, it offers free load balancing and autoscaling services. Cons There are some issues that are on the agenda. Data theft and leaks make users nervous. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good Cloud Platform" July 27, 2020 4.0 \->Good competitive cloud platform to support any business operations. Pros \->All in one cloud platform - with Azure you can solve you end to end solution for you business. From development, test and deployment. ->Pay per use is a great way for any business ->Less cost than on premise setup Cons \->Requires additional knowledge to know how to trouble shoot resources if they fail ->Have to be very care full on the budget if the resources are set to Active without using still it consumes a lot of billing Review Source AKD Ashok Kumar D. Management Trainee Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy For App development" February 25, 2023 5.0 Pros We can learn and Develop whatever we are thinking with this easily. It make us feel like a pro after Developing. It helps beginners a lot. Learn and Build with this. Cons Sometimes debugging is difficult as a beginner. Review Source SL Shari L. Director of Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect for a small company with no physical office." June 27, 2017 4.0 Remote access from anywhere. Pros Ease of use, reasonably priced, works from anywhere. Allows us the ability to store our files in the cloud and cuts down on costs required for physical servers. Allows us to print to local printers and also access drives on laptops and PCs. Very convenient. Cons Sometimes hard to understand the monthly billed usage. A new virtual server with little activity was almost the same cost as the virtual server we use everyday and it's hard to understand why. However, it's not like we're talking thousands of dollars so it's not a huge issue. Review Source DK Dilaver K. Technicien électronique Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Logiciel de qualité " December 1, 2022 4.0 Pros La qualité du logiciel et la facilité d'utilisation Cons Je ne vois aucun point faible pour le moment Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Brand Director Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We ended up not choosing it but it’s a very intuitive product" December 16, 2022 5.0 Pros It’s very intuitive, although you need an expert to set it up Cons The platform could be a little more accessible but it offers a lot Review Source LK Lyle K. Project Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Solution, but has its limitations" March 2, 2021 4.0 We saved our customer the cost of a new server and solved the need for the remote users. Overall the the customer is happy and the VM that was setup works well Pros Once Setup and configured it works great. Can scale up and down easily Provides great integration into apps in the Market Place Cons Pricing out and configuring takes time, need to understand a fair bit with reserved licensing to get the best pricing. Does not contain a universal Image that works with any license code for that OS version. This added considerable time to our project as we had to make a image then import it and install the necessary azure apps. Also needed to put in the tweaks needed to perform well. Alternatives considered [AWS Config](https://www.capterra.com/p/205398/AWS-Config/) Reason for choosing Microsoft Azure Azure was cheaper to implement Review Source VR Verified Reviewer account officer Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "my Review of Microsoft Azure" March 31, 2023 5.0 Pros it IP management features and app development features are easy to use even as a novice Cons i do not dislike anything about this software Review Source Uğur Y. Sales and Application Specialist Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Trustworthy option of the cloud: Microsoft Azure " May 31, 2021 5.0 I can say I am quite happy with my Microsoft Azure experience. Microsoft Azure stores our data securely. While some things are not easy to manage in Microsoft Azure, there are incredibly many resources to learn. This makes everything easier. Pros The best thing about Microsoft Azure is that I have no worries about security anymore. Microsoft Azure's most up-to-date security certifications ensure that both I and the customers we work with have no doubts about data security. This is definitely my favorite advantage of this software. Cons Managing data in Microsoft Azure is quite challenging as I am not very experienced in the IT world. Especially, I had a hard time learning server monitoring. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sports Director for KBVU Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Top quality cloud computing system" September 19, 2018 5.0 Pros There's no upfront cost in the pricing plans of Azure, and you only have to pay for what you use. There's also discounted prices for ongoing testing and development. You can estimate your costs from the webpage it offers, and get everything figured out being acting on it Cons If you're unfamiliar with systems that Azure uses or is similar to, then it's slightly hard to get going on it. Without expertise or tutorials, there can be a learning curve in getting the best out of Azure Review Source Jeremy I. Project Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I really enjoyed using this app or program because it helps me maintain all my different application" April 24, 2018 5.0 I think the best benefit I got was being able to monitor all the different interactions with the application for programming all the different aspects of my job Pros Ease-of-use once you get to learn it. The very detailed features really make everything that you use with a very in-depth. All the different tasks are able to take on with this program makes life so much simpler in the tech world Cons Only thing I can really say that is a conch is amount of time you have to put into in order to learn the basics of using it Review Source Hayzweb T. Animator Animation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Microsoft Azure " December 29, 2022 4.0 Text to speech for 3d animation Pros The features I used most as a 3d Animator is text to speech engine Cons They should add more realistic human voice over, they should also include voice cloning Switched from [Amazon Polly](https://www.capterra.com/p/211095/Amazon-Polly/) Because azure have more voice editing options than both Review Source Angelica H. Ejecutivo de ventas Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plataforma especial para la transformación digital" December 18, 2022 5.0 Es un software Cloud fácil de iniciar. Desarrolla muchas soluciones inteligentes con los servicios de Azure. Pros Este software es muy fácil de usar. Las interfaces y muchos tutoriares qué estan disponibles para beneficios propios dentro de Azure.Me gusta que Azure ofrece actualmente más de 100 servicios. Cons Es difícil adaptarse a los cambios del software, por que se actualiza muy rapido. Review Source Tom P. Technical Consultant Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent cloud platform for IaaS and PaaS" February 9, 2020 5.0 Pros Azure CLI makes it easy to create infrastructure with code Cons Can be costly for some organisations who lift and shift from on-prem Review Source Anthony G. Data Analytics Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Alternative to AWS, Pushing Innovation in the Space" January 18, 2018 5.0 Pros If your company is full stack Microsoft, then there is absolutely no question. You need to be on Azure. It is no longer just a "cloud" offering. It is a comprehensive solution that will always find some sort of space in your enterprise. Costs are always going down. Services are always being created and expanded upon. You can even extend the "cloud" services to your own data center. Cons There is just so much you can do. Some of the tier pricing doesn't make complete sense. It can be pretty tough to learn how to automate the elasticity of your virtual machines, so you only pay for what you actually use. There is no personal VM/remote desktop tier like Amazon has. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Computer Science Student Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Useful for deploying to new users" November 22, 2018 4.0 Pros It was very helpful in setting up new users and connecting their devices. It made security much less of a headache when onboarding someone Cons There was definitely a period of learning the navigation and testing. With so many different devices out there, not everything was compatible Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales and Strategic Partnerships Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Database" July 17, 2019 4.0 Pros This is a solid database that allows you day to day functionality Cons There are some other databases that have higher performance. Review Source EA Emre A. Product manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and develop " January 14, 2023 3.0 Pros Azure is the best product offering various services in platform as a service domain. Smooth authentication process without friction brings agility to work. Cons Price is a bit high. There is limited incentives for end users to use Azure as free. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Controls Analyst Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One Database to rule them all" December 3, 2019 5.0 Overall if you have to choose a database to use Azure is a top notch option. Other than AWS I'm not sure why anyone would use anything else. Pros I love how seamlessly this database ties into the rest of the Microsoft suite. Everything links together and fetches data for visualizations or analysis flawlessly. It took a little extra work but we were also able to set up an FTP export from our system that feeds directly into Azure to keep the data up to date in basically real time. You can also pull the data into SSMS or any other environment where you are writing queries and manipulating the data. Cons It is expensive and they charge per table to be sure you need the data you're storing on the database. Views do not cost extra to my understanding so less tables and more views seems to be the way to go in order to save money. Review Source SS Sal S. Self-Employed Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for making it easier manage computer and users" February 13, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy online cloud interface to be able to manage users and computers. Cons It can get glitchy at times but it rarely happens these days as Microsoft has gone more into the cloud. Review Source RK Robin K. Director, Technology E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Too complicated for simple environments" May 25, 2021 3.0 You need to take some classes before using this app. The way MS has nested features can leave you very frustrated when doing initial configuration. Pros Each pricing tier has a lot of features. It ties in with other cloud based apps to provide single sign on and authentication. Cons Hard to find some of the most basic configurations. Not an application for beginners. Support can be costly. Review Source AA Ala A. Head of IT Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "best Cloud infrastructure " January 22, 2022 5.0 Pros fast deployment , high level protection Cons some operating systems are not available Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Platform Solutions Developer - DevOps Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Moving to the cloud has never been easier" December 17, 2018 4.0 Using Azure's PaaS, I have been able to stand up web applications and databases quickly, and efficiently. Pros Development teams can quickly deploy their web application projects to the cloud. Cons Azure doesn't work as well with Terraform as some other cloud providers. This is an area they should focus on.
