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
NTT Cloud needs to analyze feature offerings from AWS and Azure. Additionally, they should do marketing and be more vocal about the services. They should further ensure the availability of the services as well. I rate NTT Cloud a three out of ten. In comparison, AWS and Azure are easier to fit into the environment in terms of reliability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"To me, the most valuable Azure features are AKS, Cloud SQL, security, and account management."
"Microsoft Azure is scalable."
"Infrastructure as a service is most valuable."
"It is a very straightforward solution that provides a wide range of services."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"Technical support, from what I understand, is quite helpful and we speak with them regularly."
"The most valuable feature is the interface."
"We've found the solution to be extremely flexible."
"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

"It would be helpful if Azure provided more information on the various add-ons to give people an understanding of what they are used for, and how they're applied by other companies or businesses."
"Ease of use could be improved."
"Talking from a networking perspective, when you create a file or a rule in Azure and you want to view this IP group, sometimes the way it is displayed on the GUI, you don't see the name of the group."
"The interface is not easy to use. I'd like to see them develop a better interface, more graphical information about the resource and the consumer."
"I would like to see it more easily accessible."
"One area where Microsoft Azure could improve is in offering a broader range of pre-built plugins and tools compared to AWS."
"The tool needs to improve its navigation."
"The technical support is good, but the response time is poor."
"The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fine."
"Azure is cheaper than solutions from other cloud vendors like AWS or Google."
"We have an annual license subscription to use the solution."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution, which could be cheaper."
"Microsoft Azure is expensive."
"It has the pay-as-you-go model. Its pricing should be better."
"The pricing is fair and it was actually just reduced. My organization is paying approximately $100,000 annually with close to one thousand users. There are no additional fees."
"Microsoft Azure comes with a long-term license and trial licenses as well."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
