Microsoft Azure Reviews

I'm working on cloud-based systems and I'm using Microsoft Azure for storage and for other purposes.

The most valuable features I have found to be the auto-scaling feature and the interface.

Microsoft Azure could improve by being more user-friendly and the interface could be better.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately six years.

I have not contacted support.

I have previously used Amazon AWS.

The installation of Microsoft Azure is straightforward.

I did the implementation of the solution.

The cost of the solution could be reduced. However, I am using the free version.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight 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

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.

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.

Microsoft Azure

Installation of SQL Server, Cloudera Hadoop, and MySQL. The performance has been great.

The benefit is the time to generate all these machines. It's in the cloud so I don't feel it.

I come from the DBA side so for me it's the easy maintenance; backups are very easy as well.

I would like to see more databases on the cloud, what they call today Big Data should be there. I think it's going in the right direction.

Stability is great.

Scalability is also great.

Personally, I have not used support, but the guys who do are happy with it.

Cloudera.

When choosing a vendor what's important to me are stability, a lot of features, variety, and good support.

My advice would be, try it using the free trial and I am sure you will be satisfied and take it.

Yet another powerful and reliable product from Microsoft. Windows Azure is a very reliable cloud computing platform, coupled with Microsoft data centers. More positives are that it can be used with non-Microsoft based data centers. It is fast and secure. It stands first among all other cloud platform providers.

Microsoft is not an innovator for this cloud computing platform. Still some of its products, like Dynamics GP 2013 online, are not compatible with iPad, iPhone, and some Android based devices.

I love Microsoft's products because they are simple yet powerful and secure.

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

We are using this solution to provide backend services to our customers. I am not very technical but we are using the document and storage services of Azure.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

I have found Microsoft Azure to be stable. We have large corporate customers and it is working great.

This solution is highly scalable and this is one of the main reasons why we are using it. 

In our organization, we have five administrators using the solution. We are providing services to a few thousand clients on Azure infrastructure and we plan to increase usage.

The technical support has been very responsive in dealing with our issues.

The price of the solution could be cheaper.

Before we used this solution we evaluated other cloud platforms, such as Google and Amazon. We choose Azure due to data policy reasons.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure a ten out of ten.
