Microsoft Azure Reviews

Azure has allowed our burgeoning PRC SOE clients to initiate international cloud launches of new IOT products.

Pricing of outgoing data has capped the ablity for startup products to justify the ROI of Azure application deployment.

3 years

Just cost

Over the last 12 months we've seen 2 outages.

No

Poor, you can't get to people who know the products when you are ramping up.

poor

Used AWS and FireHost but switched to support our partnering efforts with MSFT.

Straightforward

In-house

Not good because of out going data costs.

Push MSFT to change the outgoing data policy.

AWS, Huawei, FireHost

Within our company, there are around 150 employees using this solution. We have a technical team of about five or six people. 

I like that it's cloud-based and it's 24/7, theoretically. I am also happy with the licensing fees. It's quite competitive in the market. They sell Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and level 5 licenses, and one of them is compatible with PowerPoint. The licensing fee is quite cheap for what they're offering.

A few different vendors from Fortinet, from Barracuda, from Forcepoint, all use infrastructure from Azure from time to time. A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud. It's a different type of architecture, so that's a mistake from Microsoft. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.

It could be more secure actually. Microsoft Defender is not very secure. The platform is also a bit slow, to be honest. It takes a few seconds to load. Although, it does update quickly now. It's one-click — Microsoft takes four seconds and Google takes two and a half. It's minimal.

Better integration with other vendors and third-party systems would be a nice change.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for roughly five or six years.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

Microsoft Azure is cloud-based, so it's definitely scalable. 

We didn't have any problems setting it up.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Azure a rating of eight. It's a good product. It does have a few flaws but it's solid. 

We are resellers of Intel-based processors and Microsoft software. We offer Windows 10, Windows 2019 server, and HCI for example.

We are a technology-based company and we set things up for people. We are dealing with educational establishments, and moving them from on-premises situations to the cloud.

The most valuable features of this solution are the value for money and flexibility.

In the next release, I would like to see better security.

We have been selling the latest version of Microsoft Azure for six months.

On average, there are approximately 1000 users per site.

We plan to continue selling this solution.

We have used technical support from Microsoft, although we do all of the technical support for our customers, ourselves.

Before Microsoft Azure, we did not sell any other product.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We do hundreds of deployments and each individual one is different.

The pricing model is subscription-based and it's not an expensive solution.

I would rate Microsoft Azure a ten out of ten.

We are partnered with both Microsoft and AWS. We use the Azure platform for our systems, and we are also a reseller that offers architecture and design services. One use case for Azure is building Active Directory Systems and creating a hybrid environment for the customers. Another is SQL Database. The third is systems like Linux 365. So we are reselling managed 365 solutions for our customers.

Onboarding customers is a challenge. Sometimes our customers don't know how to deal with the cloud environment. Maybe the customers are more comfortable with the old-fashioned on-premise environment. So it's challenging to move to a new environment in the cloud. Another area where there is room for improvement is maybe security. Also, the interface could use some work. And maybe Microsoft could add some new features for monitoring the environment.

Our company has been using Azure for four or five.

Azure is stable. I don't have any problems with it.

In general, Microsoft support is good. But in some cases, it takes a long time. 

The initial setup for Azure was straightforward.

I rate Microsoft Azure six out of 10. 

We use Microsoft Azure as a cloud-based platform.

The solution has made operations for our organizations better by offering flexibility and integration with multiple other products.

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.

The solution could improve by simplifying network management. 

I have been using the solution within the past 12 months.

The solution is very easy to scale.

The price of the solution can be expensive.

I rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

We help our customers to migrate from on-premises to Azure. 

We generally sell the infrastructure as a service, meaning we help our customers to migrate their on-premises VMware to cloud.

The process by which our customers can switch from one subscription to another should be simplified.

I cannot say for certain for how long we have been selling Microsoft Azure products, although I do know that we have been doing so for a long time. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

We are satisfied with the technical support. Customers who have signed up for premium service benefit from better support. 

The issue of installation does not concern us, as our job is solely to help our customers to migrate.

The licensing price is fine. We pay it on a monthly basis. 

The solution is cloud-based.

We feel the monitoring tools to be sufficient. The interface, monitoring and dashboard features are good. I cannot say for certain about the security features. 

While I cannot definitively say how many customers we have that are using Microsoft Azure, as I am not part of the production team, I do know that they comprise the majority.

I would recommend the solution to others contemplating its use. 

I rate Microsoft Azure as an eight out of ten. 

We use this solution to integrate with multiple versions of ServiceNow, for automatic ticket closure and ticket opening.

There are plenty of functions available that we have used extensively. It is a complete platform of services.

There was a time when the solution was updated on their side and all of our functions stopped working. This issue could be worked on to prevent it from happening in the future.
They must give us the information of when they are going to updates on the platform side so that we can take the appropriate measures on our side as well.

We would like to see more enhancements in the Azure Migrate services in the future.

I have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable and has good performance.

I have all different kinds of clients, from small businesses to enterprises.

The setup was straightforward and the documentation is good.

The price of the solution is reasonable.

I rate Microsoft Azure a seven out of ten.

We are a software development company and the primary use case of this solution is to create applications for our customers using the MSDN premium.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is that it is easy to use.

The pricing can be reduced.

I have been using this solution for between three and five years.

Microsoft Azure is stable and I haven't noticed any issues with it.

This is a scalable solution.

Technical support is good.

The pricing for us is higher because we are using IaaS.

Depending on the project requirements, I would recommend using Azure.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
