Comments: Excellent . Its a whole together new world of cloud services

Pros:

Plethora of features, cloud services you ened to setup your application , environment , labs and whatnot

Cons:

Sometimes with so many services and features at your disposal , it takes time to get acquainted with the product.

Transform Your Business with Azure

Comments: Microsoft Azure is a powerful and versatile cloud platform offering a variety of advantages and has extensive service offerings but requires careful planning and management to fully leverage its capabilities.

Pros:

Microsoft Azure is highly available, scalable and secure platform. It is very cost-effective, we can only pay for what we use, which significantly reduced our IT costs. It seamlessly integrated with other Microsoft products.

Cons:

Managing Azure services can be complex with cloud expert staff. It can be expensive if not managed properly and optimized for efficiency. It is dependent on internet connectivity.

Use for hosting

Comments: We use Azure to host our clients databases.

Pros:

I can access all my clients databases easily.

Cons:

Sometimes can be slow and freezes up which is frustrating.

Good but expensive.

Comments: Overall an extremely powerful and well integrated service. With the right licensing you can build and operate a well moving and redundant system.

Pros:

Lots of quick integrations and prebuilt features for bringing on other tools and building a microsoft based stack.

Cons:

Hidden pay walls with various pieces of services hidden behind tiering and no good definition of what goes where.

Robust and Scalable Cloud Platform with Seamless Microsoft Integration

Comments: Overall, Microsoft Azure has been a powerful and flexible cloud solution for our business. The integration with existing Microsoft infrastructure is seamless, and the platform offers extensive customization options. While it requires some time to learn, it has greatly enhanced our IT capabilities and infrastructure.

Pros:

Microsoft Azure offers a comprehensive suite of cloud services, allowing seamless scalability and flexibility for businesses of all sizes. The integration with other Microsoft products like Office 365 and Active Directory simplifies management, and the extensive range of tools for analytics, AI, and DevOps makes it a versatile platform for many use cases.

Cons:

The pricing model can be complex and difficult to estimate accurately, especially for smaller businesses. Additionally, navigating the full range of features and services can be overwhelming for users who are new to cloud platforms.

Virtual Infrastructure for a reasonable cost

Pros:

It's easy to understand the costs, provision VDI and Virtual Machines, and get them running in a matter of minutes, with RBAC and data security enabled.

Cons:

There is a STEEP learning curve to understand what is needed, how to deploy, and the vNets

Great if you're already using .NET/ Good for everyone else.

Comments: I've been working professionaly with Azure for about 6 years with 2 years off using Cloudfoundry. Azure is far better than Cloudfoundry. And if you are already building with microsoft tech like .NET and C#, Azure is a very natural extension into the cloud.

Pros:

If you are already a programmer using the Microsoft software ecosystem, Azure is the cloud for you.

Cons:

The pricing can be a bit expensive. There are a number of free services and if you don't need to scale up a lot you can probably accomplish a lot on the Azure cloud for free.

Microsoft Azure: A comprehensive cloud solution

Comments: I have been using Microsoft Azure for almost 5 years now and I would definitely recommend it because its pros outweigh the cons

Pros:

Scalability, different Integrations, Security features and high availability/reliability are the features that I like about Microsoft Azure

Cons:

One of the biggest cons of Microsoft Azure are its learning curve

Takes time but worth it

Pros:

Once you invest the time and implement this properly it doesn't take much to continue working as expected. A few tweaks here or there and that's it.

Cons:

Documentation for your specific use case may be hard to find.

Azure all you need in one platform

Comments: Overall experience is amazing, Azure one of the best if not the best platform to manage groups, users, apps etc.

Pros:

Entra ID where I can handle every single user under in my enterprise environment.

Cons:

App registrations is not really intuitive

Best cloud provider for enterprise-ready growth seeking organizations.

Comments: I started with free tier with their always free services, but now my organisation has opted for premium tiers and we have also integrated it with our Active Directory and now we use Azure AD services. It helps our organisation to enable 'BYOD' - Bring your own device and also sets high precision monitoring. I am also using their Intune service.

Pros:

Azure provides a bundle of services on cloud and also enable use to pull our on-premise resources via private link to leverage continuous services over hybrid cloud. Best monitoring and support services are provided by Azure. I love their ways to secure an account. They have one of the best RBAC - Role based access control service on all the resources.It is damn easy to learn Azure (prepare for AZ-900). They protext our data inline with GDPR standard and they are awesome when it comes to meeting SLAs.

Cons:

Azure services are undoubtedly best, but somewhere the resources deployed in West Europe regions face a lot of outages and Azure does not maintain a rich alert management service, I believe they have room to improve their health monitoring and alerting. Also the cost estimator is not accurate, overspending is always a concern for vendor's customers.

"Microsoft Azure: A Comprehensive and Secure Cloud Platform for All Your Needs"

Comments: We have a positive experience with Microsoft Azure as it offers a wide range of services and features that can be used to build, deploy, and manage applications and services. The platform is highly scalable and allows users to easily manage and allocate resources. The security features offered, such as encryption and access controls, provide users with peace of mind when it comes to storing and managing sensitive data. Additionally, the ability to easily integrate with other Microsoft products and services provides users with a seamless experience. The platform also offers global network of data centers that provides high availability and disaster recovery options and compliance certifications, which makes it a reliable and secure option for businesses. Many organizations find Azure to be a powerful tool that helps them to achieve their business goals.

Pros:

It offers a wide range of services and features that can be used to build, deploy, and manage applications and services. Some of the things that we commonly like about Azure include:1.The ability to easily scale and manage resources2.The wide range of services available, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking3.The security features offered, such as encryption and access controls4.The ability to easily integrate with other Microsoft products and services5.The ease of deployment and management of applications6.The global network of data centers that provide high availability and disaster recovery options.7.It is also preferred by organizations for its compliance certifications, which makes it secure and reliable for storing sensitive data.

Cons:

The pricing for certain services to be on the higher side, and the complexity of the platform can make it difficult for some users to navigate and manage their resources.

Awesome Performance and Standards from Microsoft Azure

Comments: Microsoft Azure has been the best cloud option for virtual machines we have used. We are able to quickly setup and resolve virtual machines. The support has been amazing to work with and we would recommend to any company looking for a secure and reliable VDI setup.

Pros:

Microsoft has been the standard for Windows machines and desktops for decades. All of our engineers and techs were more familiar and comfortable using Microsoft Azure over the competitors. The way all the permissions, configurations and features are together in one console makes everything more efficient at setting up.

Cons:

The training for administrators takes too much time for them to complete. The different portals do not load all every time. There is no indication of when a process will complete when you start it.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Microsoft Azure Review

Comments: I appreciate the ease of use and the wide range of tools and resources available on the Azure platform, as well as the active community of developers who offer support and guidance. Azure also offers a range of pricing options and tools to help businesses manage costs and optimize their spending.However, as with any cloud platform, there may be some challenges or limitations associated with using Azure, such as complexity, cost, integration issues, and reliance on a single vendor. Nonetheless, many businesses have found success with Azure and continue to rely on it for their cloud computing needs.

Pros:

One of the most popular features of Microsoft Azure is its scalability. Azure can easily scale up or down based on the changing needs of your business, allowing you to quickly and easily add or remove resources as required. This makes it an ideal platform for businesses with fluctuating demands, such as those in the e-commerce, gaming, or healthcare industries.Another advantage of Azure is its flexibility. It supports a wide range of programming languages, operating systems, databases, and tools, making it easy to integrate with your existing IT infrastructure. Azure also offers a range of deployment options, including public, private, and hybrid clouds, which allows you to choose the best solution for your business.Azure is also known for its robust security features, which include multi-factor authentication, identity and access management, and compliance certifications. This makes it a popular choice for businesses with high-security requirements, such as those in the finance or government sectors.

Cons:

Complexity: While Azure offers a lot of flexibility and customization options, this can also make it more complex to set up and manage than some other cloud platforms. Users may need to invest more time and resources into training and support to fully take advantage of all the features.Cost: As with any cloud service, costs can add up quickly, especially if you need to scale up rapidly or store large amounts of data. While Azure offers a range of pricing options and tools to help you manage costs, it may not be the most cost-effective solution for all businesses.Integration: While Azure is designed to be highly customizable and compatible with a wide range of tools and services, it may not integrate seamlessly with all existing IT infrastructure. Some businesses may need to invest in additional software or services to make sure all systems work together smoothly.Reliance on Microsoft: Since Azure is a Microsoft product, users may feel that they are locked into a particular ecosystem and have limited options if they want to switch to a different cloud platform in the future.

One of the Best Cloud Platforms in the World

Comments: Overall, Microsoft Azure is a powerful and robust product with multiple uses by Microsoft.

Pros:

- As a SAP Consultant, most of our clients are moving to the cloud for the flexibility and cost effective benefits it offers. Microsoft Azure provides cloud services as Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Software as a service (SaaS) and Platform as a service (PaaS). Most of our SAP clients employ IaaS for the deployment of SAP ERP. - Microsoft has invested several data centres across the world - something that ensures low latency. - One of the most important aspects of cloud is the ability to scale and downscale as and when needed. With Microsoft Azure, a client can decide to increase their cloud resources (RAM, Memory, Processor) in a click of a button. Microsoft only charges for the resources used. This kind of flexibility is a big deal as far as cost of the product is concerned because a business a can downscale or upscale according to the current business needs.- Another obvious advantage of Azure comes from the fact that it is a Microsoft Product and therefore seamlessly integrates with the other massive Microsoft Products like Office 365

Cons:

- As much as Microsoft Azure can be a cost effective option for some businesses, it can be an expensive option for others. - Another issue with Cloud is that some clients might not be comfortable with the fact that their data is being hosted in a data center sitting in another country. It will take some time before everyone evolves as far as this is concerned

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.

Best cloud platform provider for Enterprises!

Comments: We use Microsoft Azure daily (at least 6 hours a day). We extensively use Azure to develop and deploy highly scalable cloud-based solutions. All doubts and new implementation are easily available on billing.

Pros:

Azure is super-fast, easy to use, affordable, always on-demand and high integration friendly cloud platform.Below are some pros that makes Azure Cloud a market leader- We get Microsoft Hands-on lab learning platform for easy onboarding of new users.- Azure's support policy is very dedicated and is handled by qualified engineers.- Their billing policy is very fair, and we can easily stay in budget.- A lot of industry grade certifications are available to represent learning made on Azure.

Cons:

There are no cons at all. But I personally feel that West Europe region of azure services is very weak and outage prone, we see outages very often.However, Azure is always developing and spreading its horizons over huge projects like Hyperledger, Blockchain, Big Data, Data Analytics, and Data warehousing etc.

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.
