Versatile integrations and reliable customer satisfaction elevate cloud service experience
For Microsoft Azure improvement, they need to enhance their support system. The first level of support should be improved in terms of quality and response time. They need more technical support at the first level, as there are currently only one or two technical people among five to ten staff members at this level. They should ensure that the first level support is more technical because we normally provide services to technical users ourselves. When an issue arises, it usually escalates to the second or third level. When facing first level support, they may have limited knowledge and only collect screenshots to forward to their seniors. They should ensure that the first level support is aligned with L2 and L3 to better assist us, especially since we mention in the ticket that our issues are related to specific problems and require that sort of support.

Good stability and scalability with excellent additional services
The features that are on offer are pretty standard. 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. The solution has quite good documentation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of the pricing from Microsoft is reasonable."
"When choosing a vendor what's important to me are stability, a lot of features, variety, and good support."
"The tool has proven to be valuable for our organization by enhancing the availability and reliability of services. Our website and several applications hosted on it now benefit from improved availability features and increased reliability."
"We have a full Azure plus Office 365 implementation for servers and desktops, authenticating users on Azure AD over 802.1X switching and wireless, with no on-premise servers, domain controllers, or file servers."
"The solution is very stable for Windows setups."
"We like that you sign in only once and that grants access to all of the Microsft applications, as well as others such as ServiceNow and SAP Concur."
"We have found the scalability of the solution to be good."
"It is really scalable and easy to use."
"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great, and if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner, which is a level of service that solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
 

Cons

"I think Azure Active Directory and also the backup solutions provided in Azure need to be improved by Microsoft. The backup solution is not a very enterprise solution, and it is very simple. I think in comparison with other backup solutions like Nakivo and Veeam Backup, it can be improved to have a lot of options."
"There are many bugs in the solutions and we already have a ticket to Microsoft. Their content team is working on that."
"We work with Azure, which is okay, but very clunky and complex."
"I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales."
"They need to make storage easy and offer more interconnectivity between solutions."
"Microsoft's technical support could be improved."
"Could be more user friendly; security features should be improved."
"Its pricing should be better."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
"The solution needs to provide a bigger portfolio of services. The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The license cost could be reduced."
"It is competitive with other public cloud providers, and its price is very close to different cloud providers. There is not a noticeable difference between different cloud providers. Otherwise, it would be a risk for them to have services that were much more expensive than their competition. They're pretty much neck to neck on pricing."
"The licensing price is fine."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced. We are not able to create a free account in my country."
"Microsoft Azure's pricing is reasonable. We pay around 5000 dollars per annum."
"We have approached our clients about using Kubernetes or Docker because it's cheaper when inflation is considered."
"Customers need to purchase additional services because of the complexity of it."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
