Microsoft Azure Reviews

Azure virtual machines are stand-out.

Their backup strategy is a little complex which racks up the VM to other sole storage areas. This should be improved.

I have been using this solution for close to three years.

Microsoft Azure is very stable.

The solution is scalable.

Customer service was very good.

Initial setup was straightforward and flawless.

This was implemented via in-house team.

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.

Azure is user-friendly which is great for those with no code experience, though this limits flexibility.

This is a very simple solution. Their integration with Office 365 is very easy. And for those who are enterprise customers already using Office 365, their role-based access control communicating with Azure is much simpler and easier which allows for full control.

I would rate this a nine out of ten.

We subscribed to Microsoft Azure, which is a platform as a service where we have our applications in the cloud. We use applications, such as Office 365, on the Azure platform and we are diversifying our infrastructure in the Azure environment from our on-premise solutions.

There are a lot of valuable features in Microsoft Azure, such as Kubernetes, pipelines, and development environments. Additionally, the Security Center is very useful, I always go in to look at the security features and how those assets in the cloud are being protected.

The solution could improve by having more security features around my data and the platform.

I have used Microsoft Azure for approximately one year.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have a lot of teams using this solution in my organization, approximately 20.

The technical support from Microsoft is good.

We have an annual license subscription to use the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case of Azure is for customer facing systems, it's hosted over mobile apps and is used for scaling up and down. We partner with Microsoft and I'm the head of IT infrastructure. 

The platform as a service is a strong feature. The solution also does quite a lot of coding and customization, you can launch it quickly and go live quickly. It's easy to develop, easy to hold space and to maintain.

If you're not aware of how things work with Azure, it's not easy to understand. It's not clear for customers and sometimes even for Microsoft people themselves. The high cost of the solution is linked to that issue.

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support could definitely be improved. 

The initial setup is straightforward, we use a third party for that. 

I rate the solution eight out of 10. 

We are using Active Directory in Azure, so it's for all of the Office 365 services.

This product is quite easy to use and is available on-demand.

There are so many services available that the interface is a little bit messy, and when you're looking for a specific service, you have to know exactly where to search. Having better visibility in the interface would be an improvement.

We have been using Microsoft Azure for a couple of years.

This is a stable product and we plan to continue using it.

Azure is a scalable solution. We have approximately 150 users.

We have used technical support and it is very good.

As a cloud-based product, there is no installation.

This is an expensive product.

In summary, this is a good solution, and other than some improvements to the user interface, I cannot think of any features that are missing.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Azure for blob storage and for a lot of the components that they have inside the cloud.

The integration with Databricks is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It's easy to use and to put on the pipeline. Data Factory and Databricks together build a pipeline. They really integrate very well.

The stability is very good.

The solution is comparable to AWS in terms of pricing.

The design of the platform is not so easy to navigate. It's not very user-friendly.

Some services are more difficult to use in AWS and GCP. I have projects on the three clouds, and some things are easier to do on AWS. On the other hand, using Databricks on Azure is easy, as they are integrated well. However, some products are more difficult to use than other products. 

The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable in terms of performance.

We have about 30 people using the solution.

I don't really deal with technical support. I'm the data scientist manager. The engineering team would be the ones that would reach out for help if they needed support.

In terms of deployment, each product requires a number of staff to deploy the model of machine learning or to build the stature to consume the data. It really depends.

I don't handle the licensing or payments aspect of the solution. I can't speak to the costs involved or what the license looks like. 

In AWS, our monthly cost was something around $10,000 or something close to that. We had to pay around $120,000 a year. It's most likely something close to that.

We are a customer and end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

We deployed the solution in multiple ways. We've used the solution both on-premises and on the cloud.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We are using it for disaster recovery and application hosting. We always have its latest version because it is cloud-based.

It is easy to use. It is also stable.

Its subscription price could be cheaper.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It is stable.

We have about 40 users of this solution.

Their technical support is fine.

We used Google Cloud. We switched because we're a Microsoft Partner.

I didn't do the installation, but its installation is easy. For its deployment and maintenance, we have two engineers.

It is affordable, but its subscription price could be cheaper.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

We primarily have the solution working as an infrastructure as a service.

The focus on security is excellent. We really appreciate that about the solution.

The maintenance of the solution is very good.

The migration capabilities are great. 

The implementation is easy.

The solution could be a bit more intuitive and easier to use.

The documentation could be a bit better. It could be more clear and accessible. It would be good to know if the person answering the questions was a Microsoft employee or just another user.

The pricing in our region can be a bit high.

I've been using the solution for as long as three years at this point.

The solution is very stable. There's never any downtime. We don't deal with crashes or freezing. There aren't bugs or glitches. It works well.

The product is scalable. If a company needs to expand, it can do so easily.

Currently, we have 20 people that use the solution within our organization. We also have three or four admins.

Basically, the solution offers regional support and I'm okay with that. I don't need to worry about not getting the services I need. I've called and got support right away.  I'm quite satisfied with the level of service that is being provided to us.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's straightforward as the product is basically focusing on a pay as you go model.

For our region, Bangladesh, the pricing of the product is too much.

We're a gold partner with Microsoft in Bangladesh.

We're always using the latest version of the solution as Azure constantly updates itself.

I'd recommend the product to other organizations.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. Mostly we've been happy with it, however, we do find the pricing  to be a bit high.

Everything we have is hosted on Azure, include our email, as well as applications that we use like SharePoint and Office 365.

The most valuable feature is the single sign-on with multifactor authentication. Our staff uses an accounting system, they visit different bank sites, and the sales team uses Salesforce We want to be able to access all of these things with a single sign-on. In total, there are more than 50 sites. We are still evaluating this and it is not in production, yet.

The cost of Microsoft Azure could be lowered.

The subscription licensing is very complex and we would like to have it simplified.

The ease of configuration and use should be improved.

We have been using Azure for about four years.

Azure is quite stable.

I would say that this solution is scalable.

Technical support for Exchange and Sharepoint is quite good. Their response time is really good.

The initial setup is not complex.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
