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 solution is very flexible, it is not limited to Microsoft solutions. It integrates well with other solutions, such as Oracle. There are a lot of templates we are able to use allowing us to reduce the time for configuration."

"Provisioning a server is fast, taking only one or two minutes before it is ready."

"Feature-wise, I like its stability. Also, it is easy to access the solution and its options."

"There are many different components such as SaaS, PaaS, and API so every month they are releasing a few hundred new features."

"The product is rather stable. We haven't had any issues with it in that sense."

"It enhance the application's performance by managing increased demand efficiently"

"The ability to quickly create and manage resources is critical to getting things done, Azure just makes getting things done a lot simpler."

"We are going to use Microsoft Azure to move some on-premise servers into the cloud so that our data can be held there."

More Microsoft Azure pros

"The initial setup is easy."

"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."

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

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

Cons

"Ideally, Microsoft Azure should be compatible with the applications that we are using in my environment."

"Its costing can be improved. There should be better cost management."

"When we work with Microsoft Azure we deploy it in a hybrid system. We do many operations with the open stack and I used it for APIs connected to Microsoft Azure. The reduction is because those APIs and our tools that are required to connect are not for the Microsft Azure solution. It has a bit of complexity, nothing to do with Microsoft Azure as a CSP."

"We use Microsoft Server 2019 and 2016. And I didn't like the 2019 client, so we had to downgrade back to 2016. The main issue there was its monitoring system. Our client needed an alternative, and if they were using more Windows products, they also needed to make that downgrade."

"A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud."

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

"Potential improvements to the price calculator tool"

"Microsoft's technical support could be improved."

More Microsoft Azure cons

"The tool has minor bugs."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

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

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is something that could be improved."

"Keep to PaaS to gain the optimal benefits from an OPEX finance and resource perspective."

"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 would like to see it more easily accessible."

"It's not on a per-user basis; it's on a per subscription basis. It is dependent on how much you use."

"We are on an annual subscription. However, there are other options available."

"Customers pay for our software and use our solution as a service through monthly payments. They don't pay the licensing fee directly to Microsoft."

"The price of Microsoft Azure is reasonable."

More Microsoft Azure pricing and cost advice

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

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