It has allowed me to develop applications quickly and efficiently and provides a wide range of features and services that help me do so. It’s also easy to use and secure, and the pricing is cost-effective. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to develop applications.

Pros:

I have been using Microsoft Azure for a few years now and I must say, I am absolutely in love with it. It’s user-friendly and provides a wide range of services to help me develop a variety of applications and accelerate my business. What I like most about Microsoft Azure is the scalability that it provides. It’s easy to scale up or down depending on the needs of your application or business and the pricing is flexible and cost-effective. Its ability to quickly and easily create virtual machines, develop web apps, and deploy and manage databases makes it very attractive.Another great thing I like about Microsoft Azure is its security. It offers advanced security features such as multi-factor authentication and encryption to protect my data and applications. Moreover, the use of AI and machine learning models helps to keep the system secure.The range of services provided by Microsoft Azure is also impressive. It’s easy to develop APIs, deploy and manage databases like MongoDB, VMs for development. It also offers features such as auto-scaling and load balancing, which helps to ensure that my application is always running optimally.I am also a fan of the DevOps tools that Microsoft Azure provides. It makes it very easy to set up continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, which helps me to quickly and easily update my applications.Overall, Microsoft Azure is an amazing platform for developing applications.

Cons:

The one thing I don’t like about Microsoft Azure is that it can be difficult to find the exact resources or tutorials I need to get started with a particular task. I’ve had to spend a lot of time researching and experimenting to find the right solution for my needs. It would be great if the documentation was more complete and up to date.

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

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

A Great Cloud Solution for Our Hosting Needs

Pros:

I use Azure mostly for its Virtual Machine services. They’re powerful, and I love how everything is so scalable. I can select any location and add more resources to my existing VM, making it much more convenient for me. Deploying Virtual Machines is easy, and I can also see my costs as I create my VM.

Cons:

Azure is a bit more costly compared to other hosting providers. And, there's limited availability of Linux based OS images.

Axure Cloud Services

Pros:

Stability and ease of use with the platform

Cons:

Some things are a bit harder to support than others

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.

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.

Microsoft Azure for Software Development and Project Management

Comments: It really saved us a lot of time and also our software development projects now are not all over the place unlike when we first started.

Pros:

I love where you can use boards to put tasks and hours. I also love where you can edit the categories where you can put custom categories like Pre-Deployment, Test Environment, UAT Environment, and etc. which is really convenient for us, especially when you want to know where the issues on the software already is whether it's deployed on a specific environment, fixed, or even it undergone testing.

Cons:

Sometimes Azure is very big and can be overwhelming but once you get your hands on it, you can navigate it with ease.

One of the best main cloud providers that sometimes need improvements

Comments: Microsoft Azure allowed us to quickly deploy infrastructure that we needed for our clients, but sometimes with some headaches, as well as deploying infrastructure for internal tools. We were able to better manage cloud costs with the integrated cost management tools.

Pros:

Once you have learned how to use Azure, the amount of services available is large and customizable (although only for the core services they offer, other services are more cumbersome to configure). The cost control is excellent, allowing you to clearly see where the expenses are coming from, allowing you to filter by tags assigned to resources. Virtual machines and storage accounts are very easy to deploy and offer good performance in relation to their cost.

Cons:

Azure has a slightly steep learning curve. It is sometimes too inflexible when it comes to deploying infrastructure or cloud services, limiting you to the deployment defaults and having you configure the rest by hand. For example, deploying auto-start and auto-stop for VMs does not work as expected in the Portal and it is difficult and cumbersome to configure. Documentation is sometimes vague and error messages not very descriptive.

Microsoft Azure best in class solution for cloud services

Comments: Azure provide a wide range of services that cover almost all the need of companies to manage their business on IT perspective. Security , reliability, availability and service level agreement are on top of the market.

Pros:

Microsoft Azure provide a huge variety of cloud services and tools to cover all the needs of a big company. Because of the recent trend request to move more and more services and solutions into the cloud, Azure provided to the company the best experience to grant the continuity of business, drastically reducing the TCO of IT.

Cons:

It's not simple to evaluate in advance the real cost of "pay-per-use" model. Too many times for companies the cost overwhelm the estimation provided at the beginning of a cloud service implementation

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

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.

Microsoft Azure the Logical Advancement for Microsoft Stack; Still learning and improving

Comments: The main things we wanted to address with Azure were 1) Overhead of hardware that we had to maintain. The cost of electricity, space, cooling, hardware itself, people with the skills to build new servers, etc. are reduced. 2) uptime/ availability and redundancy. Just let a giant company like Microsoft handle it. 3) Scalability. We can change the size of the VM with a simple click and reboot, sometimes less. This was not possible when we owned the hardware. 4) simplify upgrades. 5) Theoretically reduce cost. I was not actually included in the cost and purchase, just some implementation, but all of the above reasons contribute to designing an environment to be scaled how we need it, distributing power and resources where needed more fluidly.

Pros:

The Azure portal is the home of many functions. The fact that this web-based portal houses so much functionality and administrative work can make it easily accessible from anywhere with internet. You no longer have to be in our firm's network. Generally it was a smooth transition to Azure from standard Windows servers, though there were some learning points and growing pains. Mostly it seemed to boil down to knowing/learning which option to select or how to configure. It also has fairly good monitoring and visualizations to help keep track of administrative tasks. Speed of going from nothing to having a new server is much faster than it used to be, as are scalable adjustments. Staying with the Microsoft stack, integration was the standard level of difficulty.

Cons:

While monitoring is good, alerting and actual push notifications seem to be lacking. This means you have to know where to look and do so to find out if anything is wrong. We've had to figure out other tools and custom alerting to handle certain scenarios. Some things that are supposed to work seem to have the occasional quirk, like a windows update. Only 1 sticks out as being a huge critical issue, but Microsoft fixed it after getting to the right person. I've seen (what I think are) some unexplained networking hiccups, all of which resolve themselves with no IT user effort. But I don't know some of those pieces, and may be over speaking. The only one that affects me directly is that I occasionally see a 'sephamore timeout' when connecting to SQL server.

Save time and improve performance

Comments: While the initial learning took effort, the enormous flexibility it gives me to adapt solutions to different client requirements is invaluable. I love how I can easily try new technologies thanks to their pay-as-you-go model. Azure also allowed me to migrate critical workloads to the cloud securely and reliably. Its benefits in scalability, global availability and lower maintenance costs have positively impacted my projects. Without a doubt, I recommend Azure for any professional or company looking to take advantage of the full potential of the cloud quickly and comprehensively

Pros:

What I liked most about Microsoft Azure was the wide variety of services it offers. From basic services such as storage, virtual machines or virtual networks, to more advanced services for artificial intelligence, machine learning, mixed reality, containers or non-SQL databases. I loved having hundreds of cloud options to solve practically any scenario. Being able to easily test and combine different services allowed me to innovate and test new solutions for my clients with a lot of flexibility

Cons:

What I liked least about Azure was the initial learning curve to master all its complexity and number of options. While I really appreciate the flexibility, the wide variety of services and technologies also make Azure more difficult to learn at first compared to other simpler cloud solutions. I needed to dedicate a lot of time to familiarize myself with all the concepts, define the appropriate architecture and know how to really take advantage of its full potential. However, I recognize that as I gained more experience, the curve became much more bearable

MS Azure, why i use it for computing?

Comments: Microsoft Azure is a powerful cloud computing platform that offers a broad range of services to meet the needs of businesses and developers. Its scalability, global presence, and robust security measures provide flexibility, optimized costs, improved performance, and instill confidence in users. With a wide range of services, Azure empowers users to build, deploy, and manage their applications efficiently. Overall, Azure is a reliable, secure, and feature-rich option that is highly regarded among organizations seeking a solid cloud computing solution.

Pros:

I've noticed that Microsoft invests heavily in security and innovating new ways to use the cloud. In fact, they come up with so many new features that sometimes it's hard for users to keep up. Nevertheless, I see this as a positive thing because it shows their commitment to improving their product and providing the best possible experience for their users.

Cons:

In my experience, debugging apps can be challenging as it's not always a straightforward process. I wish there were more readily available dashboards and graphs that could provide insights into how the app is performing. Unfortunately, the current process often involves setting up multiple queries and instrumentation, which can be time-consuming and tedious. Improved accessibility to detailed performance metrics would greatly benefit developers, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient debugging process.

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.

Microsoft Azure - Provides us the best cloud experience right now!!!!

Comments: We work for health care across the globe , For us it is well suited fpr moving single use servers to the cloud.We were able to quickly replicate some of our servers and move their functionalities to the new azure hosted servers.Core and Advanced ADC functionalities helps us serve us customers better. Supports bigger platforms. We chose Azure as we pay only for what we use, certain applications were used rarely to produce reports but we had to pay a hefty amount.

Microsoft Azure: The best Cloud computing platform for your company. You need to check this!

Comments: Incredible cloud computing software.

Pros:

The available tools and GUI. It's been so nice to manage the cloud with those tools, that I simply forgot the CLI.

Cons:

The backbone and network configurations are such a hard thing to deal with. Microsoft Azure support team for this kind of issue, are hard to reach and takes too much time to solve it.

Azure has a long way to go

Comments: Azure is developing itself continuously and I believe it will be better in the future.

Pros:

I gave 5 stars to its features and functionality because Azure really tries hard to stay competitive in the market and it has most of the features that a cloud provider should offer. We use Azure to provide our services to our customers that work with Microsoft. What I like the most about Azure is its AI tools. Azure is really successful when it comes to machine learning.

Cons:

I will be a little bit cruel about Customer Support and Ease of Use. We work with Azure as CSP partners. One day we had a problem with one of our servers and I couldn't even reach to support team to get help. Later I learned that since we are CSP partners we cannot directly get in touch with Azure team. Instead we should contact our local dealer to get support. It is tiring to involve bureaucracy to IT when all I wanted was to mount a disk to another server. Be very careful when you test the servers. You will be charged for a full hour even if you keep the server alive for 5 minutes. If you do not want to delete a resource accidentally you must lock it. I learned this lock feature from our local distributor but Azure should force you to take such cautions by putting the option directly to the interface. Maybe a little checkbox saying "Do you want to lock your resource?" would be nice. The interface should be more user friendly. It is really complicated for the beginners. The partial windows that open in each step is confusing. It will be easier without the split structure.

The superior cloud platform for any health system needing to protect patient information

Comments: Overall, azure has been an excellent development for our company. The few times we’ve run into issues, the customer support has been incredibly helpful

Pros:

The compliance and robustness of azure cloud is phenomenal, and the customizable it’s with regard to api connection (and development) has been critical

Cons:

This is not the cheapest option, and for purely data storage I would not recommend

powerful and flexible cloud computing platform

Comments: strong security features, including role-based access control, encryption, and threat detection, which helps to keep customer data and applications secure.

Pros:

1) a comprehensive set of features, tools, and services that are ideal my requirements. 2) its flexibility, as it allows to choose from a variety of deployment options, 3) including public, private, and hybrid cloud solutions.

Cons:

drawback of Azure is that it can be complex and challenging to manage, particularly for businesses that do not have experience with cloud computing.
