What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

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.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Azure is solving critical infrastructure and scalability challenges by providing a reliable, secure cloud platform for hosting our applications and managing our data. It removes the burden of maintaining physical servers, simplifies application deployment with services like App Service and Kubernetes, and ensures high availability with Load Balancers and Application Gateways. Azure's managed databases and storage solutions solve data management and disaster recovery needs, while serverless options like Azure Functions help us optimize for cost and performance. Overall, Azure enables us to scale efficiently, innovate faster, reduce operational complexity, and deliver better service reliability to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Web Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?

My business intelligence team uses Azure Web Apps to develop self-service analytics dashboards, which we embed into our internally developed applications for workgroups across the company. The service enables us to integrate various components into our analytics workflow, including Copilot, SQL, and CRM system APIs. Azure Web Apps helps us focus on enhancing our workflow rather than managing infrastructure and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

- Azure has vast varitiy of serivces, be it PAAS, SAAS, or IAAS, so depending on your solution needs you can choose your prefered option.

- Integration with 3rd party tools is easier to implement and secure with OAuth 2.0 approach (based on Azure service principal)

- Do you want to host a simple static website -> just use Storage account, or VM, or App service, choice is yours!

- Facing any issues with any of the implemented solution? Just get in touch with Microsoft support (you need to have the basic support plan) and they will help you to sort out the issue in the best way possible.

- The Azure portal interface is simple and easy to use, resource are grouped using resource groups, so segration of Environments can be done on Subscription and resource group level.

- Analysing the cost is easier at scope of resource group or subscription level.

- There are multiple ways by which you can monitor your application and setup alerts as per your solution's requirement.

- Permission management & assignment is easier with Role based access control.

- Being a frequent user of Azure for more than 5 years, I would highly recommand the use of Azure for your next solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

- 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.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Azure has highly available services, due to which hosting a solution is easier, and mainly that means you can access it from anywhere in world, this means less of maintaince, making sure of the hosting services are up or not, and more of actual work that can be done!

Compared to other cloud platforms some of the solutions are cheaper / simply better on Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplified InfraStructure, Businesses of all sizes rely on Azure, includes more than 1,800 models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

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.

Azure follows the DADSC approach to security: detect, assess, diagnose, stabilize, and close.
