Azure Resource Manager offers valuable features like subscription management and team resource assignments. Users find it user-friendly, easy to deploy, and well-documented with vast online resources. It aids in managing projects centrally, simplifies automation, and provides Azure Blueprints for policy and identity management. ARM templates enhance DevOps efficiency by enabling easy parameterization and flexibility. Users appreciate its intuitive interface without prerequisites, facilitating resource tracking and compliance.
- "The product's initial setup phase was easy, as the documentation and information were very good."
- "ARM templates make parameterizing and using variables in your DevOps pipeline easy."
- "Azure Resource Manager is extremely user-friendly and easy to deploy and understand."
Azure Resource Manager's interface requires enhancement and should simplify role management, as users find existing roles inefficient. It is less flexible than Terraform, lacking multi-cloud capability. Users desire ARM templates adaptable to different platforms like AWS or GCP. Tagging at a group level should cascade to resources beneath, and support needs improvement. Additionally, issues like high latency and costs should be addressed to improve user satisfaction.
- "At a group level, if I apply a policy, it gets cascaded to all the resources underneath it, but it is not possible when it comes to tags. When I apply tags at a group level, it should go to the resource under it."
- "Compared to ARM templates, Terraform is often preferred because it is more versatile and user-friendly. With Terraform, you can create a single, generic script that works across multiple cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, GCP, and even Oracle Cloud. This eliminates the need to write separate scripts for each platform."
- "The latency has room for improvement."
