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 platform has supported reliable growth and collaboration but customer support still needs improvement
In my opinion, the best features Microsoft Azure offers are the scalable solutions and serverless solution, Platform as a Service and Software as a Service. There are categorized services I can get. Based on my need, I can use and get most of those things. Regarding Microsoft Azure's AI capabilities, I think the governance and security are fine and the AI is consistent and I was able to get reliable outputs. Governance and security-wise, I was also satisfied with the performance, encryption-wise and the data transmission, transparency-wise. Regarding Microsoft Azure's AI capabilities, output-wise, the outputs are very much reliable, so I can depend on those things. There's nothing more to add and I am satisfied with the accuracy because it's more than 90% accuracy that I can find. That's fine for me.

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."
"Virtual machine services, in SaaS services, M365, and Data Lake are all popular with our clients."
"Azure is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the single sign-on with multifactor authentication."
"There are many useful features. We use web apps, so instead of starting a web server, we just have machines running some web services. This was helpful for us in terms of the scalability of the application. We also use Active Directory for authentication and some services for the data backup. It is a very good and reliable solution. It was easy to implement this solution. It fits very well into our plans and covers our needs to provide infrastructure in the cloud. The portal to configure new resources is very easy, and it is very easy to allocate new resources."
"The most valuable feature is the possibility of using Microsoft and non-Microsoft services on one environment."
"The solution is easy to use, it's great for ready-to-use services, and it's set up to handle any cloud requirement."
"It is a very easy-to-use platform, and it is very powerful in terms of data backup and Blob storage. It has very good features, especially if you are using Microsoft products, such as Windows, Microsoft SQL Server."
"Azure is a scalable platform, with more than 10,000 people in the organization using it from an application standpoint, including managers and employees in a variety of roles."
 

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."
"A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud."
"The technical support could be faster and the information should be more precise."
"Sometimes technical support is not as fast as I needed on the first call, but once they are engaged, it is really easy to get an answer."
"The Azure Billing API could be so much better. It only provides billing metrics for a set duration."
"We are looking for the Azure to get involved in the case of other applications, like the Java application."
"If you're not aware of how things work with Azure, it's not easy to understand. It's not clear for customers and sometimes even for Microsoft people themselves."
"I have found Microsoft Azure has many components to use and it's very difficult to understand every component."
"I would like to get a forward-looking view of the services I want to cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its pricing model can be improved. It is variable, and if you do a simulation now, within a few months, the price can change, and your simulation would no longer be valid."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution, which could be cheaper."
"It's a very expensive machine and I would like for them to improve the price. There are smaller sized competitors who offer cheaper prices."
"The price is good, but it can always be cheaper."
"With adequate knowledge, I think you can come up with a good model where the pricing won't be a constraint."
"The long-term cost is higher than if you set up the servers on-premises, which is something that could be improved through more competitive pricing."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"There is a license for the solution."
