Versatile integrations and reliable customer satisfaction elevate cloud service experience

For Microsoft Azure improvement, they need to enhance their support system. The first level of support should be improved in terms of quality and response time. They need more technical support at the first level, as there are currently only one or two technical people among five to ten staff members at this level. They should ensure that the first level support is more technical because we normally provide services to technical users ourselves. When an issue arises, it usually escalates to the second or third level. When facing first level support, they may have limited knowledge and only collect screenshots to forward to their seniors. They should ensure that the first level support is aligned with L2 and L3 to better assist us, especially since we mention in the ticket that our issues are related to specific problems and require that sort of support.

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The redundancy across different regions is the most valuable. It provides a big value for cloud services, especially for Microsoft."

"Feedback and error messages make much more sense in Azure than in AWS."

"The most valuable feature is the possibility of using Microsoft and non-Microsoft services on one environment."

"We didn't have any problems setting it up."

"We use the solution to manage and secure my users' email for the Active Directory."

"Reduces work for our IT teams and saves us a lot of time."

"The benefit of this integration in Microsoft Azure is that it is very flexible and beneficial to users, bridging internal integration, all kinds of applications, databases, and services such as Entra and other tools."

"It is a flexible solution that is straightforward to use."

More Microsoft Azure pros

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"The tool is very easy to use."

Cons

"There needs to be better data security. There are organizations that do not want their data to be submitted to Microsoft, they should have strong encryption."

"The solution should improve the shared cache. For the shared cache, Microsoft uses RADIUS third-party services. We have a lot of trouble with RADIUS and I suppose that is due to the fact that is not owned completely by Microsoft."

"The tool needs to improve its navigation."

"The solution could improve by providing better tutorials and documentation."

"The technical support is good, but the response time is poor."

"The microservices and analytics of Azure are good areas that could be improved."

"Monitoring options should be more sophisticated, as there are dashboards on which a end user is able to pin a lot of charts and a number of web parts, but for example, I would love to have some option like in Operational Management Suite."

"Use of the solution could be easier."

More Microsoft Azure cons

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"The tool has minor bugs."

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Azure is more expensive than other solutions, such as GCP. We have found that GCP offers more utilities at a very reasonable price."

"Most of the pricing from Microsoft is reasonable."

"I am currently on a pay-as-you-go subscription and my customers are going to be on a three-year contract. For what is offered in the three-year package it is quite reasonably priced."

"Microsoft Azure is expensive."

"Microsoft Azure is a cost-effective solution where you use it as per your requirement and pay for it."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper in general. We are on a monthly subscription to the solution."

"Licensing fees are paid monthly."

"The pricing is relatively high."

More Microsoft Azure pricing and cost advice

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
