Rafath Noor - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead DevOps Engineer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
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.
Famir Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Operating Officer at Merchuian Solutions
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

"I have found the solution to be flexible, easy to use, and the documents are straightforward to understand."
"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 didn't have any problems setting it up."
"The solution is very simple to set up."
"Everything is very good by way of performance."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the value for money and flexibility."
"The product brings a lot of value to our business and customers."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the product's AI capabilities and real-time data processing features."
"The pricing criteria can be improved with broken-down terms that can be understood easily."
"The local support is fair but it is sometimes limited, the service could be better."
"At this point, the latency is too high to use Azure in our production environment."
"Azure could be made more user-friendly. For example, the configuration wizard should be more intuitive for the users."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Microsoft's technical support could be improved."
"It is constantly updating. There are weekly releases, sometimes daily releases, and there should be fewer that are consolidated into one."
"The solution needs to provide a bigger portfolio of services. The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is paid on a per-use basis."
"Pricing is comparable but from a cost perspective, this solution is the cheapest."
"The solution does not offer very many free services which can become expensive. We are on an annual license."
"We have approached our clients about using Kubernetes or Docker because it's cheaper when inflation is considered."
"Be careful with Azure Cool storage accounts; if you are dealing with high object counts, then it can be more economical to use Hot storage because of the high storage access costs associated with Cool."
"It's a metered environment, and it's pay-as-you-go. That's the big challenge with a metered environment."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution, which could be cheaper."
"The pricing for us is higher because we are using IaaS."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
