Microsoft Azure Reviews

We work with a lot of cloud-related products, including Azure.

The most valuable feature is cloud-based storage.

All of the cloud-based features are helpful.

I would like to see better integration with other products.

We have been using Microsoft Azure for a few years.

I have not heard any complaints about the stability of Azure. Most likely, we will continue to use it in the future.

From what I understand, it is scalable. We are quite a big company and as such, we have quite a lot of users.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

In my experience, it has always been Microsoft Azure.

Azure is a good product and I can recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

Microsoft Azure

We primarily use the solution as a single point to check all our application metrics from tool to application. 

The solution is very simple to set up.

Right now, in Azure, with the solution they offer, it's a bit complicated. 

The application response time in particular consumes a lot of memory in terms of the CPU and application response time.

The control administration, every single control, every single application or service, has its independent dashboard. It's a bit complex to set up. It's simple to set up, however, when you want a metric for tracking or reporting, it's a bit difficult.

We've had issues with the login feature and have been looking into other solutions due to that ongoing problem.

The solution needs a more integrated password feature.

I've been using the solution for about two years.

The stability isn't that good as compared to AWS. Azure just seems to have more issues in general. It's not the worst, however, it's definitely not the best. We need to make a plan in case the percentage goes down. 

We sometimes have issues with the Azure login. It's been a problem for the last few years. We've also had a data center fail.

The scalability of the solution is good. I personally haven't faced any constraints. Therefore, if a company needs to expand, I don't believe there to be a problem in it doing so.

I'm not sure of how many users are actually using the solution at our organization.

I'm not sure if we plan to increase usage or not.

I haven't been in touch with technical support, and therefore can't really speak to their responsiveness or knowledge about the product.

In terms of documentation, we're making our own in-house. We are creating the policies and procedures for how our monitoring should be and we are creating an inventory of which services we have and which metrics each service must have. It's a work in progress.

We're currently looking into different solutions as we've had some issues with Azure over the last few years.

We may have previously used a different solution, however, I might have been new to the company at the time and don't recall what it was.

It's really very straightforward to set up the solution. It's not complex at all. You just need to set up the features your need.

The solution doesn't require too much maintenance.

We usually use the subscription model Azure has. However, that doesn't include monitoring. We're looking at a new budget for that. It would be apart from the main Azure consumption.

However, I don't know the exact pricing. It's not part of the work I do.

We're Azure partners. We have a business relationship with the company.

I'd advise others that Azure is good for monitoring for a small to mid-size organization. For those, it works well. For very complex scenarios, it will be difficult to manage.

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. It's much to complicated for larger organizations.

Public Cloud

Microsoft Azure

We used Microsoft Azure mainly for repositories and management.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is its ease of use.

Microsoft Azure could improve by being more secure.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately two years.

Microsoft Azure is a stable solution.

The company that I am working for had 100 users using Microsoft Azure.

I did not implement the solution myself, another team in my company did it.

I would recommend Microsoft Azure to others, it is a good solution.

I rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

On-premises

With Microsoft Azure, you can replace internal IT infrastructure platforms, and you can create new cloud-driven software developments.

Microsoft Azure is a large cloud computing platform. It's a large cloud service for Microsoft that is built on top of tens of thousands of services.

I would like to see it more easily accessible.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for two years.

We are using the latest version.

It is cloud software, and as such, it's not stable. Cloud software evolves quickly, but there are not a lot of new features.

The software is stable for the moment, but there is an ongoing development of the software that is creating several features. It is fine as it is.

Microsoft Azure is built for scalability. It's perfect.

We have 60 users in our company who use Microsoft Azure.

We plan, to increase the number of users. All of our colleagues will be working with the software in the future.

We use Teams for Virtual meetings.

As a cloud solution, there is no installation.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering using it.

I would rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

Public Cloud

We are using the solution for applications.

There are several products within Azure.

I have been using the solution for four years.

The solution is stable in my experience.

The solution is scalable.

The service is good.

The cost structure is like most cloud-based services. The solution could be cheaper, it is always better to be cheaper.

I recommend this solution.

I rate Microsoft Azure a ten out of ten.

Public Cloud

The most valuable feature is the interface.

The price could be improved as well as the interface speed, and technical support.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for four years.

This solution is stable.

Microsoft Azure is a scalable product.

We have more than ten users.

I am not satisfied with the support. It seems that they outsource to different companies with people who don't even know the basics. 

You get asked several questions but never get any resolutions.

The initial setup was easy and it only takes a few minutes to install.

The cost is a little high and can be more competitive.

Microsoft Azure is a good service and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Hybrid Cloud

1) Windows Azure supports ASP.NET and Node.js, among other platforms. 2) Due to the Node.js supported library, Azure is capable of supporting the Map Reduce Infrastructure, Hadoop, for distributed data processing and number processing. 3) With the help of AppFabric Internet services, it can support Java, Ruby, etc. 4) Since the underlying Azure OS runs on Windows Server 2008 edition, it supports running all Microsoft Enterprise Applications, hosting services like IIS and many more. 5) Using Windows Azure Connect, various Virtual Machines can be easily connected with each other 6) Has support for multiple users & roles for management purposes.

1) It is a well known fact that Microsoft has yet to upgrade its IaaS technologies for providing a near zero interruption triggered by Load balancers. 2) Physical security of data is a major concern for various IaaS service providers, and Azure is no different. 3) Though having data served from multiple data centers improves performance, it has increased the risk of data security. 4) Compared to other IaaS service providers out there in the market, Azure is a bit expensive.

It's true that to run various Microsoft Enterprise Solutions, Azure is the best option, keeping aside minor caveats. Unless your requirement makes it mandatory to use IIS, you should consider other IaaS service providers available in the market, which are comparatively cheaper as well. It has good support for various platforms like Java, Ruby, and PHP for websites. Windows Azure provides API's built on popular and robust technology like HTML, REST, and XML.

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.
