Eliminates the need for physical hardware and is not platform dependent
You can detach and reuse the storage drive without disrupting the virtual server, which is quite useful. Additionally, it provides options like network security groups to protect virtual machines from unauthorized access. The tool offers compatibility with various operating systems through the Azure Marketplace. You can access a wide range of Windows operating systems, both enterprise and commercial.

Quotes from Members

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

Cons

"There could be more security features included in the product."
"The tool must provide updates less frequently."
"The interface should be improved."
"The tool must provide more freedom to the customer."
"Microsoft Virtual Server's cost was an area of concern...I feel Microsoft Virtual Server will be stopped in a couple of months or a couple of years, and it will be completely replaced with SQL Server data warehouse and Microsoft Fabric."
"The product must provide easier rollouts."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"One feature I would like to see is better compatibility with macOS. Due to business policies, macOS isn't currently available in the Azure Marketplace. Microsoft should come to agreement with it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no need for me to pay anything towards the solution's licensing costs."
"Compared to the other products in the market, I believe that the prices of Microsoft Virtual Server are on the higher side."
"The pricing must be improved."

"The tool's cost has been taken care of with the help of Microsoft Fabric and with a consolidated or unified interface, where the entire product serves as a SaaS offering for the user."
"The cost can also be optimized by changing the size of the implementation."
"The price of this product could be better."
"The product is expensive."
