"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"It is quite easy to provision new virtual services for our use. The procedures are quite straightforward and simple as compared to other competitors, such as Microsoft or Huawei. This is what we are happy about with Amazon AWS. It is pretty mature in terms of the availability of most of the infrastructure components. If you want to deploy a server on your platform, everything is already there in terms of the operating system, network components, securities, and data encryption. It is also quite scalable and stable."
"The scalability of the product is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product is highly scalable."
"Works very quickly and is well managed."
"I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good."
"The performance of AWS is excellent."
"AWS's containerization is the most useful feature for us."
"The product is rather stable. We haven't had any issues with it in that sense."
"It's a great solution. It's so customizable. Every user can create dashboards to suit their needs. We can create and share them with our teammates easily, too."
"The integration with Databricks is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is so huge and so powerful. The best thing is the possibilities of things that you can actually do with it. If you do it right, you can work or host your stuff a lot cheaper than traditionally. Its security is good, and it also reduces the strain on internal IT."
"There are several products within Azure."
"The system is more secure, and this is valuable."
"The best feature in Microsoft Azure is that I don't have to change computers. I don't have to upgrade or if something breaks or a hard drive crashes. The lack of a physical aspect is the major feature for me."
"The technical support can take longer than expected sometimes. They could improve on this."
"There are some limitations for certain applications that happen regionally and it is an issue for us."
"Its subscription model or pricing model is too complex, which should be improved."
"The pricing of AWS is very unclear. They make it quite confusing."
"There is no control of downtime."
"Their support can be improved. In some cases, their support is not as proficient as it can be. They should be quicker at getting back."
"Amazon support could be better."
"The solution could offer better integration capabilities."
"It could be more flexible. If you look at all Mircosoft products, they are not up to the mark. For example, Azure Ready doesn't provide the same kind of access a domain administrator has and the kind of flexibility that they have when using Active Directory. Microsoft support could be better. Their service could also be better. For example, specific policies for templates suddenly become unavailable. When I checked, they said that certain things might be withdrawn based on customer feedback. This happened once or twice, and it wasn't available at all for five days, it just went down."
"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."
"I would say an improvement could be allowing for more external, third-party tools. However, I think that's their vision, how they develop the product."
"The cost of the product is too high. It would be ideal if they could lower it a bit for their customers."
"The diagnostics should have more logs."
"Integration with other services could be much better."
"Maybe Microsoft could improve its monitoring around the networking."
"Because it has a lot of features, a person just coming into Microsoft Azure might feel that it is a bit complex."
