I would tend to use all the solutions that are based on open-source technology rather than Microsoft-specific tools. Not all of the solutions inside Azure are based on open-source technology. Some are based on Microsoft-specific tools that Microsoft developed. And I would tend to stay away from those because they get you into a lock-in situation. Meaning that if one day you realize that Microsoft is too expensive and you want to move to an Amazon or Google cloud provider, you might have an expensive switch over to a solution that you locked yourself in, for example, if you are using Cosmos DB, that's a very Microsoft specific solution. Azure has quite a few tools that are Microsoft-only, so I would advise staying away from those. Overall, I would rate Azure Search an eight out of ten because , from a performance perspective, there is some room for improvement.

I am an Azure Search customer with an enterprise agreement, but not a premium one. I would definitely recommend using Azure Search, depending on your infrastructure. Overall, I rate Azure Search a six out of ten.
Azure Search provides plenty of benefits for business teams and sales teams. As it's a CLM system, it helps you find everything related to specific customers and deals. From an implementation aspect, you need to know what kind of data you have, and where is it stored. We're a small company so it was very easy to map and locate the data, etc. If you work for a large enterprise, data location should be the first stage before implementing Azure Search — you need to know exactly where the data is stored. On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

My advice to others considering this product is to just do your research beforehand. Know what you want and what you are getting yourself into as far as the product capabilities. You probably want to try the product as a test to see how it works for you. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Azure Search as probably a six-out-of-ten.

It is a good solution. I rate it a five out of ten. It should be better and more accessible in terms of support services.
