Microsoft Azure Reviews

Most workloads can be migrated to Azure. For example, say a small business wants to have a website or even do development. 

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 management portal can be confusing sometimes. We have difficulty navigating the menus because the terminology is unclear, especially when referring to the content or actionable items. 

I've been working as an Azure trainer for about a year and a half. In my last job, I was working with on-premises solutions, but the whole industry is transitioning to the cloud, so Azure, AWS, Google, and many other cloud providers are trying to get a market share now.  

I don't have any issues with scalability or stability. We moved migrated from our physical infrastructure earlier, and we haven't seen any problems. It's more about the organization getting comfortable with the solution. That's the only thing.

Azure setup is straightforward. There is no comparison to on-premises deployment because it's all automated. It's very fast, but I can't compare the speed to other vendors because I've never deployed AWS or Google.

AWS is good, but Azure's license is reasonably priced, and Microsoft is gaining market share with a competitive package overall. Moreover, Microsoft is well ahead of AWS in terms of ease of use and billing, so I think I still love Microsoft. Obviously, both have a market, but customers working on development projects or using Microsoft products often go for Azure because of the license benefits and product support. 

I rate Microsoft Azure eight out of 10.

We are using Microsoft Azure for hosting our applications in a secure environment. We are using AI and machine learning models.

Microsoft Azure has been easy to use in my experience.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately two years.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

We have approximately 50 people using the solution in my organization.

The local support is fair but it is sometimes limited, the service could be better.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I am able to do the implementation of the solution.

We have some system engineers and developers that manage the solution.

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

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azurean eight out of ten.

We are using Microsoft Azure for deploying our Windows. Additionally, Microsoft Azure for some analytic functions where we can have all our sales data and budgeting can be done.

There are many bugs in the solutions and we already have a ticket to Microsoft. Their content team is working on that.

We don't have the active-active options for Microsoft SQL Server. This is something they can work on.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for one and a half years.

The solution is scalable.

Microsoft Azure is scalable.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

Some features of Azure are very important for us. You can control access for your company, it's not complicated managing the solution either. I think the solution is very stable, secure and the documentation Microsoft has on their website is complete. You can use it to find the solution's problems or implement solutions. 

An issue I encountered was around the integration of Identity. I lost some important information and I would like to see improvements with this. 

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately 2 years now

Azure is very easy to manage

We are a Microsoft partner and implement in-house.

The pricing depends on the solutions I want to use, but I think the price is good because there are many free features in the solution. If you need something more advanced, like Azure AD Premium, you have other features available like risk management.

I would rate Azure a nine out of ten. 

Microsoft Azure is easy to use.

I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately three years.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

We have approximately six customers using this solution.

The technical support could be faster and the information should be more precise.

The installation is straightforward because there is no installation required.

The number of support staff that is required depends on the use case.

There is a monthly fee you need to pay for the use of Microsoft Azure.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

I generally, use Microsoft Azure for storage and to have applications running, such as the Microsoft Suite without having to have a physical desktop or hardware. I could use it wherever I want. I could use it from a tablet, instead of having all that files on a tablet, you can have it stored, saved, everything right there in Azure.

The best feature in Microsoft Azure is that I don't have to change computers. I don't have to upgrade or if something breaks or a hard drive crashes. The lack of a physical aspect is the major feature for me.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately two years.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

I do not have to worry about scalability because I do not have users other than myself. However, it is scalable.

I have not had the need to contact the support, I have not any issues.

The installation was easy.

By using Microsoft Azure you can save money from not having to purchase or maintain infrastructure.

The price of the solution could be reduced. There should be a loyalty cost reduction model. If customers have been using the service year after year they should receive a discount.

I would advise those thinking about using Microsoft Azure to try it out, especially for businesses. If you know that your office might be moving, instead of having all the cost of physical hardware to either get rid of or repurchase, the cost of the subscription is going to be a lot less than moving all your physical servers, storage devices, and computers. You won't have any maintenance, the need to worry about hardware breaking, hardware crashing, or people breaking any of the hardware. The workstations and connectivity are all they would need to worry about if they decided to move from one spot to the other.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

Our use case is infrastructure as a service and backup.

Azure is a cloud-based service, so its version is always current.

Infrastructure as a service is most valuable.

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

I have been using this solution for probably eight years.

It is very stable.

Its scalability is very good. We have around 10,000 users. We have two people for maintenance.

We have plans to increase its usage.

Their technical support is good.

The reason for switching from the previous solution was the move from on-premises to the cloud.

It was straightforward. It took just two weeks.

We had a consultant.

We have seen an ROI.

Its costing can be improved. Its licensing is monthly. In addition to the standard license fee, there is a transactional cost.

Ensure that you apply correct governance to the solution.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

We use Microsoft Azure for our internal systems during elections. We monitored the election party and we had a database of 20 million users.

The solution is similar to a plug-and-play system, it is easy to use.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately two years.

Microsoft Azure has been stable

The solution is scalable.

The technical support of Microsoft is okay. However, there were times we had to speak to them in the US time zone which was not convenient. There are times we have to wait because of the time zone issue.

The solution takes two to five people to implement and for maintenance; if the environment is larger it still only takes two to five people.

The subscription models can be confusing and it would be beneficial for them to simplify them. We are on an annual subscription.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.
