Promotes clear, logical structures preventing impractical configurations and offers seamless integration
The only thing is regarding the management of multi-cloud environments. That's not really possible. So basically, it's wonderful if you manage Microsoft clearly and if you manage Microsoft Azure, but if you need to consume external services and have a global overview of all your consumption, it's not the case. Google, for instance, has tools that help you manage multiple environments, which makes sense because Google is really the cloud provider. So that's why they need to be compliant with the others. But for sure, Microsoft's approach is different, and it's wonderful when you're one hundred percent on Azure. But if you'd like to have something more of a multi-cloud strategy, that's a bit of a gap where they could improve.

Performance and availability of services need improvement
NTT Cloud needs to analyze feature offerings from AWS and Azure. Additionally, they should do marketing and be more vocal about the services. They should further ensure the availability of the services as well. I rate NTT Cloud a three out of ten. In comparison, AWS and Azure are easier to fit into the environment in terms of reliability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration between all of the components in Azure."
"The solution provides multiple well integrated services which happen to work together seamlessly and provide flexibility and scalability for use cases all around the industry."
"The stability is very good. The performance is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Azure for me are its ease of management, recoverable virtual machines with backup support, excellent customer support, and user-friendly interface."
"It is a very straightforward solution that provides a wide range of services."
"This product is quite easy to use and is available on-demand."
"I appreciate that everything is basically shift forward from a security standpoint."
"The ability to scale down is a big thing."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great. For example, if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner. Solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer this level of service."
 

Cons

"I believe that some of the services need to be available on the on-premises version and not only based on the cloud."
"The pricing needs to be a bit lower. It's an expensive solution right now."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Technical support is lacking right now. It needs to be better."
"Technical support could be better. They need to be more responsive."
"Predictability and quality. Make sure things work predictable, as expected, and documented."
"The tool should add an interface that is similar to AWS."
"The initial setup can be improved."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
"The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are added costs to the company or for scaling for most premium products."
"I pay for a yearly subscription."
"Its price should be optimized so that we can use more features."
"The pricing is fine."
"The product is expensive."
"The license cost could be reduced."
"It is operational expenditure (OPEX). There is no cost upfront. When you start using it, you have to pay the charges. Initially, the cost is less, but after you start using it more and more, the cost will go higher. It is a little bit costly, but that is okay because you get better resources. You also get better support in terms of how you create the resources. Documentation is available, and the SLAs are met."
"The cost is something that could be improved."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
