Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."
"Managed storage capabilities, which create a very simple way to create, copy, and replicate local or geo-replicate, it's very simple to assign workloads."
"We have found the most valuable feature to be the pricing calculator."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its ease of use."
"The product has been quite stable."
"Being able to set up, change and configure VMs is easy - a lot easier than in AWS."
"Much more intuitive and more visual than AWS. More obvious where things are and how to change their configurations, etc."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is the account management side. This involves tasks such as assigning credentials to different individuals, managing user accounts, and implementing Privileged Access Management."
"I like the familiarity of this solution."
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."
"Microsoft Azure is so complicated inside. If you should do something internally, if you have to configure something, the opinion about Azure is that it is a little complicated inside. That's why the end users and clients are looking for help and why we help them configure and do anything inside of Azure. That is why we offer other tools to optimize the Azure environment."
"I have found Microsoft Azure has many components to use and it's very difficult to understand every component."
"The Azure Billing API could be so much better. It only provides billing metrics for a set duration."
"The quality of some components of Microsoft Azure is not that great. For example, Microsoft has not fixed issues in Microsoft Teams for many years. There are well-known issues that are submitted by customers two years ago and they still are not fixed."
"The initial setup is quite complex because of the number of options that are available."
"Sometimes performance takes a hit on a slow network."
"One key area for improvement is the Azure load balancer. Currently, it only supports virtual machines (VMs) running in the same virtual network (vNet) on the backend. They should definitely support machines or IPs running on-premises (prem) or in other Azure VNets. GCP and AWS already support that. So, Azure Load Balancer should support that as well"
"The support subscription models need improvement."
