They deployed and maintained our cloud infrastructure.
There should be the improved ability to speak directly to resources over the phone, rather than just through tickets and emails. Logicworks provides DevOps-as-a-Service functionality and is not really a software solution. My only issue with them is that it is difficult to talk to anyone live, as they manage all their service tickets through emails or their ticket portal. Perhaps, an enhancement that could be a button on the portal which could connect you via a web conference with the resource assigned to the ticket, would be helpful.

Cloud migration has reduced hardware dependency and supports secure global access to apps
The best features Microsoft Azure offers are cloud scalability, virtual machines, storage, networking, security, monitoring, and identity management. Scalability is the most valuable to our organization because Microsoft Azure allows businesses to scale resources up or down based on workload demand. This helps manage traffic spikes without buying permanent hardware. Virtual machines are also valuable as Microsoft Azure provides cloud-based Windows and Linux virtual machines to run applications, servers, and workloads. Identity and Access Management is important, as the integration with Microsoft Entra ID helps manage user authentication, role-based access, and MFA. For example, employees access business apps securely using single sign-on. Backup and disaster recovery are also important because they provide automated backups and failover options to ensure business continuity. Microsoft Azure positively impacts my organization by reducing infrastructure dependency, improving availability, and enabling remote access. Teams can access applications globally without on-premises server dependency, and in terms of cost, it is very low-cost.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stable environments, outsourcing of IT allowing us to keep very light headcount for the DevOps are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Microsoft Azure has proven to be beneficial for our organization due to its quick deployment capabilities. Setting up virtual machines or any required infrastructure is fast."
"Azure cloud is a platform for many things, such as hosting, file services, application or power apps, and data lake."
"I like everything, overall."
"The solution is very simple to use, is pretty dynamic, and has a lot of great practical applications we really appreciate, from quickly configuring our environment and adding notes to leveraging powerful testing capabilities like load balancing and scenario testing from an infrastructure point of view."
"The product has been quite stable."
"We are going to use Microsoft Azure to move some on-premise servers into the cloud so that our data can be held there."
"This product is quite easy to use and is available on-demand."
"The best Microsoft product in my opinion Azure Stack Hyper-Converged Infrastructure or Azure Stack HCI."
 

Cons

"My only issue with them is that it is difficult to talk to anyone live, as they manage all their service tickets through emails or their ticket portal."
"Support could be improved. If you pay for a higher plan, it's okay, however, the lower plans don't offer as good of a service experience."
"As compared to AWS, Azure can improve its functionality. In terms of the feature list, it is still lacking a bit as compared to AWS. AWS supports lots of types of operating systems, which Azure is still catching up with. Azure is mainly focused on the Windows system, and it is not yet there in terms of integration with other operating systems like Linux, Unix. Azure is slowly catching up."
"Integration with other cloud environments can be tricky at times."
"The initial setup can be improved."
"It is pretty secure, but it can always be more secure."
"Price could always be cheaper. Its licensing and usage aren't always cheap."
"A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud."
"The design of the platform is not so easy to navigate. It's not very user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is more or less the same across all cloud service providers."
"Microsoft Azure's pricing is reasonable. We pay around 5000 dollars per annum."
"Licensing costs for Enterprise are on an annual basis."
"With adequate knowledge, I think you can come up with a good model where the pricing won't be a constraint."
"The pricing is better than AWS."
"The price is good, but it can always be cheaper."
"Azure costing can be multi-layered."
"Several thousand dollars and counting, we haven't needed to upgrade on premises hardware (In fact we eliminated all of the old on-premises hardware and run 100% on Azure) or pay for it's maintenance, power etc."
