Microsoft Azure Reviews

AWS who?.....

Comments: Spinning up virtual environments and hosting software for clients and we use cold and hot storage for clients servers and backs with azure as they offer some of the best storage rates as compared to AWS. We can also spin up virtual domain and active directories for our clients to remove the heat and maintenance from small facilities on the edge of their environment that might not have a dedicated space for IT. Allowing us to now only offsite the IT but also the infrastructure.

Pros:

I have found the best use for Azure is to off site the IT hardware for infrastructure, So now IT can not only have the team off site but now that off site team doesn't have to worry about the servers being touched by employees messing around in the network closets.Allowing entire companies to be managed off site.

Cons:

Price on VMs, non transparent price, ease to setup redundancy...

Very easy to learn especially because it embraces different languages to code and implement.

Comments: Easy to learn. I have enjoyed achievements after achievements. It is fun using Microsoft Azure.

Pros:

It has been a journey with Microsoft Azure. From tough beginnings where I couldn't tell what I really wanted with the software. It has been fun learning the capabilities of this software with time. It's innovative technology is impressive. Microsoft Azure modernizes processes with simple to understand insights. With my little knowledge in coding, I have achieved so much and excited to achieve more with this great tool.

Cons:

It needs basic coding knowledge. But no worries, you can learn with time and everything will flow. It is a great software.

Over complicated

Pros:

you can access it from home without VPN.

Cons:

Over complicated not intuitive, deployments crashes

Microsoft Azure-Review

Comments: Functioned wellVisual looks good and correctRecomend to use

Pros:

Very secure sessionsUsing 2FASync proper with our Mixrosoft 365

Cons:

Sometimes works slowly, WVD issues such as, black screens, no Desktop presents and not function well with Outlook 365

Axure Cloud Services

Pros:

Stability and ease of use with the platform

Cons:

Some things are a bit harder to support than others

Cloud Administrator

Comments: So if client required specifically use azure then we can use or we have premium support for azure then we can use it

Pros:

Azure console is very user friendly and very fast, Creating the virtual using in azure is very easy, in security point of view it's very secure, high availability is also main feature of azure, In azure portal console is very fast.

Cons:

For cost point of view azure is very expensive, for example if want to move one image to another image then we need to copy same copy on another region(), Azure support which is provided by mindtree is very poor , we raised a ticket and it's more than two month but not any solution. Azure default structure for cpu and memory is very weird.

Microsoft Azure for Web Developers

Pros:

It's perfect for web developers developing large scale platforms. It has integrated Visual Studio, which is the best IDE to write code. I had a free access to all tools as a student, and it also contains free cloud storage and courses to learn.

Cons:

It has limited offline functionality and if you are a beginner into tech it can be a bit confusing when you encounter all the complex tools it offers.

Great Product All Around

Pros:

Azure offers lots of possibilities and options. You can run servers, desktops, VDI, etc. while being secure.

Cons:

Things change a lot. I feel like when you get used to where everything is, changes come around the corner and it’s moved to another spot or named something else.

One of the best cloud platform

Pros:

Stable, fast, and with good pricing. It comes with many features and tools, and it is easy to host your web application without much technical knowledge.

Cons:

It is a bit slower compared to AWS cloud when there are many traffic.

Great performance overall

Pros:

As with most Microsoft softwares, the customer service is great. The pricing for businesses as well as the discount that comes with it makes it a great option to deploy and manage our applications.

Cons:

The technical know how makes it hard for anyone to navigate the software.

Excellent Cloud Plataform for Visual Studio users

Comments: I think is a great product, all is available in one place. It is integrated with external basic tools like emails and many of them are free with some limits. Deploy a new version of a service in a new environment is really quick. Azure is really competitive in terms of cost in windows or other plataforms. In my case which I mainly work with MS Visual Studio I would recommed it over the others.

Pros:

As a Visual Studio developer it easy to create a service or project from visual studio and deploy to azure. It offers a free tier to test the best option to implement a service or application. We have access to detailed management cost analysis tool that includes budget alerts as a way to monitor the cost of the services. For a beginner I think that is easier to use than AWS or Google. Experts can customize all features of each service and follow service recommendations. Azure has an exceptional service called Application Insights which brings all information about performance, errors and use. Related services are fully integrated and ready to use as soon is deployed. i.e. A SQL Azure database from a web application. High availability, we have never had an issue related to the service.

Cons:

Azure requires at least a basic management for each service. For basic users that are starting to use it there could be an even simple service configuration and options available UI. Something like Basic or Experts configuration. Because of the huge list of available settings and options sometimes it is hard to find what the user wants. Basic and free tiers could have some limitations with the access to some specific functionalities like for instance GDI to create reports.

Great tools, stable server

Comments: I have been using it for several years, in our company we have several customer projects on Azure, especially in ASP.NET. There is a certain latency that is a little too great between the data server and the application server, when it uses a SQL Server base (much higher than in your traditional hosting provider). We miss a simple button to install Lets Encrypt on websites, everything is manual. For backup we use competitor G which is much cheaper. Our customers really like application stability and response time.

Pros:

The best thing about Azure is flexibility, you can put a lot of projects there, in different languages and technologies. If you use .NET it becomes even easier, as it has several integrations in native components, including the development IDE.

Cons:

Mainly the price. In Brazil, being charged on a dollar basis is very expensive, it is difficult to pass this on to the customer. The recent 21% readjustment was abusive. It also fails to deliver simple ways to perform trivial tasks: you suffer if you want to create a simple backup of your website or database. Leaving the trivial, the technical bureaucracy is enormous.

On the cloud with Ms Azure

Comments: Best platform to run IT services

Pros:

This public cloud offers the Iaas and Paas both to run your business with highly available services and features Very flexible to understand the Ui to supprt team and also to the customers Cost free as compare to other cloud platforms Runs with numerous own features under single platform own infra own backups own DR everything under single roof Best to ruins business seamlessly

Cons:

Sometimes but rarely you have to engaged with Ms engineers for dependancies of things

Microsoft Azure works, but needs more ease of use

Comments: Over all Azure works. There is a lot to be desired as far as ease of user or our non technical folks. It does what it's supposed to, but i am sure we are not getting our full value out of the software.

Pros:

I like the deployment manager and the integration tools. This allows to help secure and work with outside software products and keep source code / security tools in one place.

Cons:

The collaboration tools are not user friendly. A lot more thought should go into a better atmosphere to allow all users of Azure to work together. This includes technical and non-technical.

Best Cloud platform for digital transformation

Comments: Overall it is a easy to start Cloud platform. Developers can develop lot of intelligent solutions using Azure services.

Pros:

Azure is very simple to use. The user friendly interfaces and lots of tutorials available to get lots of benefit from Azure. Currently Azure provides more than 100 services.

Cons:

It is changing very quickly, sometimes adopting the change is difficult .

The total cloud solution for medium to large companies

Comments: We implemented an API Microservice architecture. After the initial implementation we thought it was really fast to implement. But after a year or so, the same problem arises that always arises: development halts or gets complicated, solving small bugs becomes a daily task. From then on only one thing matters: find the bug within 5 seconds, while the "customer" (or reporter) is on the other end of the telephone line. And from then on, azure shows it's chaotic head. What queue is used by this function through what API Manager API, and who else uses this? We try to solve this by documenting everything (and its relation to anything else) in a documentation environment (not azure).

Pros:

It can do so many things... after 2 years of using this product I think I still haven't touched half of what's possible. It makes creating API's, flows, queues, logging a lot easier, since the boring stuff (maintaining the tools that allows that functionality) is taken care of. Also, the support is great. There are many learning paths and they're all very easy to follow.

Cons:

Azure is very chaotic. A cloud solution almost always incorporates some kind of API environment. For an API environment it's really important that it follows some kind of domain driven architecture. After creating hundreds of API's, you really want to be able to categorize the API's according to your organization's enterprise domain architecture, otherwise it gets really hqrd to search through hundreds of API's to find the one to work on. Every API is then dependent on many other things, like queues, gateways, API Manager, other functions, flows etc. And they're all configured "vertically": there is your "resource group", and under this you'll find all queues, all functions, all gateways, all everything. Now, of course it's possible to create resource groups in a modular way, following the domain architecture of your organization. But things cost money! A lot of money. So for instance, if you want to group all API's and queues etc that belong to, say, your "sales" domain, and want to have the same organization for, say, the "HR" domain, you'll need to add two gateways, two API Managers, two this, two that. And they all cost money. In the end, when costs need to be limited, you'll end up with very (too large) resource groups that contain so many different concepts and domains, that it's almost impossible to quickly find your way around.

Great software!

Comments: Turning up virtual conditions and facilitating programming for customers and we utilize cold and hot stockpiling for customers servers and backs with sky blue as they offer probably the best stockpiling rates when contrasted with AWS. We can likewise turn up virtual area and dynamic indexes for our customers to expel the warmth and upkeep from little offices on the edge of their condition that probably won't have a committed space for IT. Permitting us to now just offsite the IT yet in addition the foundation.

Pros:

I have discovered the best use for Azure is to off site the IT equipment for framework, So now IT can have the group off site as well as now that off site group doesn't need to stress over the servers being moved by workers messing around in the system closets.Allowing whole organizations to be overseen off site.

Cons:

Lacking options for life cycle management. - Some of the capacities just work in the great gateway. The unwavering quality of the administrations relies upon the innovative and monetary limit of the suppliers of administrations in the cloud. The data of the organization must experience various hubs to arrive at its goal, every one of them (and its channels) are a wellspring of frailty. The centralization of the applications and the capacity of the information begins an association of the specialist co-ops. It is valuable in the event that you are inexperienced with Azure to take an internet instructional class that will take you far to ace it and increment your trust in the item. It will in general use assets and when the VM goes down it is moderate and freezes. the dashboard configuration is confounding AF, it is hard to discover things. You pay the help, or send them a tweet and cross your fingers. Charging is confounding, particularly toward the start, and it is difficult to gauge costs without seeing the utilization of a whole application/site. foundation as an assistance permits me to save time and assets up to that point to keep up its own framework, safety efforts are past the scope of most organizations, security guidelines give clients the certainty that their information will be completely ensured. The help was deficient (my experience of 1 of every year and a half was extremely baffling). In rundown, paying little heed to what the framework lets you know, on the of

The best cloud service

Comments: It was an excellent solution to us. We use many of its background services: file storage, database housing, is a very good application

Pros:

The platform is very professional and requires good technical knowledge, its free period of use is one year and you just have to pay for it. During the last three decades, due to the obvious advantages of Microsoft in the field of business computer science, Microsoft is quickly updating. Your work is relatively easy. In addition to providing recovery, import and export sites, and Azure backup, Microsoft Azure also provides: storage of blobs blocks and storage of tables, queues and files. It provides flexibility to use Azure Blob to store and recover large amounts of unstructured data, such as multimedia documents and files. Azure Storage can meet your growing data needs and each account can store up to 500 TB of total storage space. A single subscription admits up to 50 storage accounts, which can provide PB of storage space for larger scale plans. If you are creating great sites for consumers or data applications, Azure aims to solve this problem. Azure Storage will automatically copy your data to help prevent unexpected failures and give you the confidence that they will be available when you need them. Three copies of the data are saved in a single area. The geographical redundancy option can create three additional copies to hundreds of kilometers away.

Cons:

You must when it is a bit difficult to configure, and some services are not available.

The New Way to Develop, Deploy, and Maintain

Comments: I honestly really like it. In the beginning (as with anyone) I found myself constantly wanting to go back to Pivotal or VM Ware's suite of tools and software but after learning what Azure can do and getting comfortable with it, its not so bad. Learning shortcuts and tricks makes a big difference in speeding up your tasks so I highly recommend learning how the folks at Microsoft utilize Azure as they know all the tips and tricks. Other than that, its sturdy, reliable, and its reaching its "One-stop shop" capabilities as I learn more and continue using it.

Pros:

Microsoft went all out to develop the one-stop shop for enterprise development. Azure has everything you need to succeed when it comes to development, deploying, staging, maintaining, and monitoring. Microsoft has gone the extra mile to make sure all steps have their own respective software or portal to ensure maximum fluid integration. When it all works, it works very very well. You won't be needing to go out and find additional software to what they're offering because they have thought everything through. On the other end however, sometimes we have our own preferences so Microsoft has made sure that Azure is adaptable to 3rd party applications, software, plugins, pretty much the whole nine-yards. They even play nice with some of the competing software they created this whole suite for. In essence, Microsoft is making sure this is the software for anyone's use. Of course the same is supported with countless and invaluable tutorials, courses, and forums to ensure your success using Azure.

Cons:

When something did break, Microsoft's support is slow at best. No matter what the urgency, it always took an extra push or kick to really get Microsoft's attention. Regardless of the severity of any issue found, I believe that Microsoft should really look into understanding their client's impact and not just determine severity based on their outlook (no pun intended). Azure overall is great and this is really the only significant issue I have found. Also, the Azure suite is nothing you can learn over night but given the amount of features and capabilities, it may take some time to learn it all. I will say that it is similar to other tools and software used in the same field so it makes it easier but if you want to use its true potential, it will still take time to learn.

Agrxis Review on Microsoft Azure

Comments: I've been using Microsoft Azure for a while, and so far, everything have gone well. I value the platform's scalability and the variety of services it provides. However, I've discovered that some services are complicated, which makes it challenging to set up and configure some features. Additionally, it might be difficult to precisely estimate expenses due to the complexity of some services' pricing structures. Finally, even though Microsoft offers typically useful documentation and support, there have been moments when I've had problems finding the information I need. Despite these difficulties, I continue to think of Microsoft Azure as a dependable and strong cloud platform that provides a wide range of helpful services.

Pros:

The enormous array of services that Azure provides is one of the aspects of it that I value most. Azure has everything I want for the development, deployment, and management of my cloud-based apps, from infrastructure to platform services. I like Azure's flexibility and scalability since it makes it simple for me to scale up or down in accordance with my business needs. I really adore Azure's user-friendly interface, which makes it simple to explore and manage the platform. It is simple to learn and get started with the platform because to the great documentation and assistance offered by Microsoft. I also value Azure's strict security protocols since they offer me confidence that my information is secure.Another fantastic feature that I appreciate is the Azure Marketplace, which offers me a broad selection of pre-built solutions and services that I can easily incorporate into my apps. The integrations with third-party applications and other Microsoft technologies, including Visual Studio and Power BI, are extremely impressive.Finally, anytime I've had queries or problems with the platform, I've found Azure's customer service to be quite helpful and prompt. Overall, Microsoft Azure is a solid, adaptable, and user-friendly cloud platform that I wholeheartedly endorse.

Cons:

Despite the fact that I generally like using Microsoft Azure, there are a few things that irritate me. One problem is that some of the services are complicated, which might make it challenging to set up and configure some features. Additionally, it might be difficult to precisely estimate expenses due to the complexity of some services' pricing structures.

Deploy workloads and sync/ integrate seamlessly within Microsoft Ecosystem with Microsoft Azure

Comments: Overall, our organization heavily rely on Microsoft applications and therefore, Microsoft Azure being part of that ecosystem, and further enriching the whole experience by seamlessly integrations and connectivity, makes Microsft Azure services the best fit. Also, reliability is one of the most important characteristics, which is heavily looked over by large scale organizations. Since this platform is backed with huge reliability, Microsoft Azure becomes the choice of many large scale companies.

Pros:

1. Reliability: is one of the major advantages of Microsoft Azure. Since it is a platform built by one of the industry pioneers, anyone can blindly rely on the fact that Microsoft Azure is one of the best in case of reliability. 2. Huge variety of managed services are available to choose from, which would provide almost any service as a managed service on this platform. 3. The model - Pay what and when you use, is one of the most attractive features of these services. From small scale to large scale companies are attracted, solely because of this feature-set, which is only available in cloud-based service like Microsoft Azure.

Cons:

1. Complex User Interface: is by far my top concern while using this platform. Although, the platform is capable of doing so much, however, the placement of feature-sets is not appropriately done. The UI of the platform could be made a little bit more user friendly, which would enhance the user experience, immensely. 2. Better cache services: can reduce laggy-ness in the platform for the users who are not connected with very stable internet connections.

Great cloud platform

Comments: In my case, my experience was satisfactory. In fact, Azure can easily use the performance and use of all companies, whether a local company or a company that has offices in different countries / regions. In this way, it can concentrate on commercial objectives without thinking about the infrastructure that supports the process. In addition, from the user's point of view, you can always have a good experience regardless of your position. With the safe connection, you can easily access the platform.

Pros:

Its design is beautiful and intuitive. This is an easy to use tool that is excellent to meet my cloud storage needs. I like to store all kinds of information and additions to a certain function. Excellent application for online storage. It offers excellent videos and graphics for exchange that is difficult to receive by email, due to this script, it fully helps in the development of work and helps improve our traffic processing. The joy of communication is an important issue, as well as the videos and graphics that we want to share on time, quickly and safely, without invaluable restrictions. It is also interesting to have endless resources and analysis. Azure allows us to turn our ideas into solutions, providing a visual system of an unprecedented scale and a short term value/performance in a cloud that takes place in data and analysis.

Cons:

It requires having experience on platforms a simple error could generate problems.

Very Good and Robust Cloud Infrastucture

Comments: Overall Azure plays an integral role in my day to day activities. Their cloud infrastrucuture is very robust and have not faced any serious issues till now.

Pros:

SSO enabled access makes it easy for me to access it just with my Org's creds and from anywhere even from my mobile device. This makes it easy for me to work from any location. Apart from this, from cloud infrastructure point of view Azure offers lot of features that play a critical role in doing my day to day job. I mainly use thier Databricks, Ddata Factory, Analysis Server and Logic App services in my daily job. I am very satisfied with the way they integrate with each other.

Cons:

It can get pretty daunting and cumbersome initialy when you start using the service initially as the learning curve is quite steap. Also the pricing does not make this the best choice for lot of mid-sized companies.

A Comprehensive Solution

Comments: In all our projects, we use Microsoft Azure together with all units within the bank. We have developed many web and mobile based applications. We also manage our virtual machines with this system.

Pros:

Before listing my favorite features from a software developer's point of view, I would like to point out the following. Banking is a high risk industry and we needed to modernize our financial systems and keep up with technological innovations. That's why we chose to negotiate with Microsoft Azure by unanimous vote, and we have never regretted it. As for my favorite features; It has an incredibly useful interface, it has quite a variety of data management systems, we can easily develop our web-based applications and deploy them quickly to the preprod system and then to our porduction system without the need for an extra tool. Frankly, I love development services and I believe every developer will. Finally, its fast, flexible and useful structure made me very happy.

Cons:

There is no feature that I dislike or that I like less. I am happy with all its features and I love them.
