Microsoft Azure Reviews

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.

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.

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

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.
