Allowing us to monitor and manage our diverse data sources. The OMS, offer security to our hybrid environment. With threat intelligence, patch management and malware detector, it has streamlined our operations and improved security of our networks.

We have leveraged PaaS function which enable us publish and manage our websites effectively.

### "Seamless, Secure, and Reliable Solutions"

January 2, 2025

3.0

Azure provides a user-friendly, secure, and dependable platform that meets all requirements and more. However, frequent updates, changes, and resource movements within Azure can be disruptive, suggesting areas where smoother transitions could improve the overall user experience.

Pros

Everything you need and more , easy to use. Safe and reliable

Cons

Too many changes all the time, and things they keep moving or relocating constantly.

November 21, 2024

2.0

Frustrating due to issues with services not be reliable

Pros

Ability to quickly deploy cloud infrastructure and scale as needed

Cons

Inconsistent UI and automation options across different services. CosmoDB is a terrible service, lots features missing from UI and needs a service request. Very expensive. Stability of services poor, I get alerts for failures of Azure services almost every week

### "Azure a Clear Frontrunner "

December 2, 2024

5.0

As a person who uses Azure frequently and has to work with server manager, I have found this software to be most reliable.

Pros

With large databases and application deployment, this cloud-computing software makes functionality very feasible. With vast datacenter availability, Azure remains a frontrunner and leader in cloud computing space.

Cons

To effectively use Azure requires some prerequisite training and time spent to understand the framework.

### "Avoid Azure unless you are an IT Technician, not for small businesses."

October 31, 2024

1.0

Bad, I couldn't get anything working due to errors constantly telling me I had missed weird items when setting up systems. When I tried to close the account that was just as hard. I needed CHATGPT to help me close as the help was no good.

Pros

I thought this would be a platform that a business owner could use to drive their small business but wrong was I.

Cons

The platform was so complicated, I was unable to use. Over time I found I was being charged for resources I had not started directly. Why we can't have a simple system for cloud computing that asks for disk, CPU and Memory plus O/S I don't understand. This is not user friendly unless you are from a technical background. I have been in IT over 20 years and was lost.

### "Powerful cloud computing platform"

September 13, 2024

5.0

I have had good expereince using Microsoft Azure. Because of the great strength and flexibility of its cloud services, it is my preferred choice for creating and implementing applications. Azure's performance, dependability, and integration possibilities make it a significant tool for both small and large-scale projects, despite its learning curve.

Pros

The wide range of services offered by Microsoft Azure are what I find most interesting. As a developer, what i value most is its smooth connection with different tools, such as Visual Studio and GitHub, because it simplifies deployment and testing. Azure has excellent scalability capabilities that make it easy for applications to handle increasing workloads. It is also perfect for enterprise-level projects due to its excellent compliance.

Cons

The pricing of service is one drawback, as it can be load, particularly for smaller jobs. Because of the intricacy of the platform, it can be overwhelming to navigate through all of the services accessible, especially for newbies.

The platform’s robust security features and global reach likely provided peace of mind and ensured smooth operations. Additionally, Azure’s support for AI, machine learning, and hybrid capabilities might have enabled you to innovate and seamlessly integrate on-premises infrastructure with the cloud.

Microsoft Azure stands out for its versatility, security, and seamless integration with other Microsoft products. Whether you’re a small business or a large enterprise, Azure offers the tools and services needed to innovate and grow.

Cons

It was a bit more expensive but in the end it's worth it.
