Microsoft Azure stands out for its comprehensive suite of cloud services that support a wide range of business needs, from simple app hosting to advanced AI and machine learning solutions. Its global reach with an extensive network of data centers ensures high availability, low latency, and regulatory compliance across regions. Azure’s integration with Microsoft products like Office 365, Active Directory, and Dynamics makes it incredibly easy for enterprises to transition to the cloud. I particularly appreciate its security-first approach, with built-in threat protection and compliance certifications, which gives great peace of mind. Additionally, Azure's flexibility in hybrid cloud setups and its strong developer ecosystem make it a top choice for modern digital transformation initiatives.

While Microsoft Azure offers powerful capabilities, the platform can be complex and overwhelming for new users, with a steep learning curve compared to some competitors. Pricing structures can also be confusing and sometimes unpredictable, especially when scaling services across multiple regions or using specialized offerings like AI and advanced analytics. In addition, support response times can occasionally be slower than expected for non-premium customers, which can be frustrating when dealing with critical issues. Finally, some services feel less polished compared to competitors like AWS, particularly in areas such as documentation clarity and portal performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Azure web apps provides my team a secure and fully managed service that enables us to deploy business intelligence applications with minimal environment setup. The service supports various programming languages, especially Python, and integrates seamlessly with our on-premises SQL Server system, even for data-intensive workflows.

- For most of the services they provide good SLA, however if there are any issues, eg. Network timeout for consumption based logic apps, Azure Data factory, then even if we contact the support, there is a high chance that the support team may not be able to provide you detailed log info, and you have to implement a retry or some sort of workaround.
- Sometimes due to temporary outage of services, alert firing might be missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed can be an issue for some businesses, Because opening a cloud account is a fairly simple process today, an empowered individual with spending responsibilities could approve a Microsoft Azure account without the business or ownership approving of the action in the first place. Although 90% of Fortune 500 companies are using Azure, it may not be the right value offering for every business, especially some startups or new SMBs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
