Promotes clear, logical structures preventing impractical configurations and offers seamless integration

Pros

"The customer service and support are very good. When we raise a ticket, we quickly get feedback or someone assigned to help us identify the problem, which, 90% of the time, was on our end. I'm very happy with the support they provide."

Cons

"The only thing is regarding the management of multi-cloud environments. That's not really possible. "

Accommodates all production workloads, including development, and mission-critical applications and provides a strong baseline for compliance with industry standards and government regulations

Pros

"It's very scalable. We can scale up to 80-85% without issues. "

Cons

" I don't understand why we spend so much time and money on Azure when Microsoft relies on third-party companies for support in the CSP model. I don't know how the support model works within Microsoft, but giving it to poor-performing third-party companies is not ideal. "

Offers integrated version control in building models which obviates the need to manage different versions of my models manually

Pros

"Azure offers broad compatibility with both structured and unstructured data. For example, we use PostgreSQL for storing Azure's official data and manage various types of data, including tabular and image data, accommodating the storage of all data types we handle. So, in many ways, Azure simplified the data storage and management needs."

Cons

"The main issue is the lack of notifications for updates. Processes for certain operations, like connecting to Git repositories, have changed without sufficient communication. A system to announce or update users about these changes would be very helpful."

Highly secure, fully integrated, and helpful support

Pros

"The application services are the most valuable in Microsoft Azure. I'm not using them directly but I am using the function and the web applications. I don't need to pay a lot for the maintenance. I do not need to have a DevOps employee. "

Cons

"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."

Supports multi-cloud environment and has good technical support services

Pros

"We can easily access and integrate data sources from other platforms. "

Cons

"The product's initial setup process and stability need improvement. "

Provides good security and compliance tools and is useful for handling large data

Pros

"The solution is useful for handling large amounts of data."

Cons

"The third-party data-sharing features must be improved."

Seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft products and provides a comprehensive set of cloud computing services

Pros

"One feature I like in Microsoft Azure is its ability to host and run applications on virtual machines. It is a basic yet crucial capability for our team. "

Cons

"One area where Microsoft Azure could improve is in offering a broader range of pre-built plugins and tools compared to AWS."

Allows me to do a lot on my own and provides a comprehensive cloud solution

Pros

"The most valuable features of Azure for me are its ease of management, recoverable virtual machines with backup support, excellent customer support, and user-friendly interface."

Cons

"One area for enhancement could be in the realm of big data and unstructured data storage."
