Promotes clear, logical structures preventing impractical configurations and offers seamless integration
The only thing is regarding the management of multi-cloud environments. That's not really possible. So basically, it's wonderful if you manage Microsoft clearly and if you manage Microsoft Azure, but if you need to consume external services and have a global overview of all your consumption, it's not the case. Google, for instance, has tools that help you manage multiple environments, which makes sense because Google is really the cloud provider. So that's why they need to be compliant with the others. But for sure, Microsoft's approach is different, and it's wonderful when you're one hundred percent on Azure. But if you'd like to have something more of a multi-cloud strategy, that's a bit of a gap where they could improve.

Performance and availability of services need improvement

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Azure has improved my organization because it is a new technology and so the customers who don't have enough knowledge about the cloud delegate the administration of their cloud infrastructure to us. We incorporate and add a new service to our product lineup about how to manage their Azure. It impacts our business because we're able to incorporate this new service."
"I have found all the features to be good."
"The design of Microsoft Azure is for it to be scalable and it is scalable."
"It enhance the application's performance by managing increased demand efficiently"
"I like the ExpressRoute because that makes it easy to configure connectivity to Azure-hosted services."
"We have found the scalability to be good."
"The most valuable feature is the instant availability of resources."
"Azure services like EDM and Batch are all famous, but one of the most popular services for development is Azure Functions, especially the PaaS option. Depending on a customer's environment, they can go for the PaaS."
"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great. For example, if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner. Solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer this level of service."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
 

Cons

"The cost of the product is too high. It would be ideal if they could lower it a bit for their customers."
"Something that could be added to the solution is the use of deep learning, which is going to grow in the near future."
"There should be be better support for microservices and containers."
"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."
"From a security perspective, it could be improved."
"Dashboards and reporting could be improved."
"The cost calculation for the services can be an unclear aspect which makes it difficult to estimate the expenses incurred accurately."
"There are a number of services offered by AWS that are not yet available on Azure."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
"The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The long-term cost is higher than if you set up the servers on-premises, which is something that could be improved through more competitive pricing."
"We are on an annual subscription. However, there are other options available."
"Its price can be cheaper. Price is always an issue. We pay around $10,000 per month for all resources."
"Its costing can be improved. Its licensing is monthly. In addition to the standard license fee, there is a transactional cost."
"Pricing is very difficult to guesstimate. With so many a la carte options and individual pricing it can be a hassle to understand."
"The cost of Microsoft Azure depends on the services that are used and there can be a discount at a corporate level from Microsoft."
"I believe that we have a three-year license, and I'm happy with the pricing."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
