"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."
"I have not had a problem with the stability. It is reliable."
"The stability has been excellent."
"The product provides a host of security tools."
"Microsoft Azure has a lot of useful features. They have databases, application services, PaaS solutions, such as platform and infrastructure services. The virtual machines' functions and services are good."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"Dell EMC ECS could improve by having Relational Database Services(RDS) to review progress. Additionally, if the training was provided it would be a benefit, it would be good for our engineers."
"Dell EMC ECS should support segregation of duty, particularly for role-based access controls. Having a single pane of glass for smarter observation and better control mechanism would also make this solution better."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"If Dell ECS would be available as standalone software, so you can use any hardware with it, would make the solution better. It would also be good if Dell ECS had more integrations with other products."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team."

"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."
"There are times when using a service in Microsoft Azure can be confusing because you have four or five options that do similar operations. It would be helpful if there was a clear decision tree around those features. Microsoft does provide a lot of decision trees around a lot of their services, but it's not for everything."
"In a month, there is a plan to increase pricing, which is something we are not looking forward to."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The solution must improve its pricing."
