Has good scalability and provides secure access to the virtual machines

Pros

"Azure Bastion makes it easy to provide quick virtual machine access to our customers. "

Cons

"We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage."

Provides good security and saves licensing costs

Pros

"It provides all the security to us. Without getting on the internet, we can access our servers. We can access our desktop through our web browser. We don't need to run the mstsc command and login to the VM. All those things are not required."

Cons

"There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers. As an organization, it doesn't make sense that we have to use only Edge. We should be able to access Bastion over Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. It should be our choice."

Easy to use and manage permissions but if you have boot issues, you can't use Bastion to fix them

Pros

"As an Azure consultant, for me, it is the best way to give the administrator access as you can manage the permission - including who can access Bastion."

Cons

"When you have a boot issue on Windows, you cannot use Azure Bastion to fix it. You have to use the Azure console or the VM console, and it is very limited."
