"Azure Data Lake is useful. We are in the process of populating the data lake for our current project. Also, we are directly importing for Power BI to using PowerPlay."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"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."
"Offers many data security features including securing network access."
"The automated connectors to some of our critical enterprise systems are an important feature. These are very large, critical, global HCM systems."
"Azure is a good networking solution from a WAN perspective."
"Microsoft Azure has been easy to use in my experience."
"Microsoft offers free courses and an exam on their products. Many of my colleagues who use Microsoft Azure take advantage of those free courses to help them learn about the solution in depth."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"The response time and stability of Microsoft Azure need to be improved."
"Integration with other cloud environments can be tricky at times."
"For deploying multiple resources in a big number, such as in hundreds, we need a streamlined process and more user-friendly scrips. The scripts have to be more user-friendly, and they should also supply some standard templates to deploy multiple resources at a time. Currently, it is very easy to deploy a couple of resources, but if you want to deploy multiple resources, it becomes complex. The material that they provide for integration with an existing on-prem data center is complex. They have to make them user-friendly. The scripts related to resource management need to be simplified."
"They should optimize their pricing so that we can use more features. I would also like to see more auditing and more security for the Blob storage feature. From a technical point, it has very good features for Microsoft products, but for non-Microsoft products, it may have some limitations. I have mostly worked with Windows-based integration, and now I am trying to use it for open-source systems. It is good but not as easy as Microsoft products."
"A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud."
"The authentication method only allows me to have up to 90 users, and there are 2,300 people in the company."
"The design of the platform is not so easy to navigate. It's not very user-friendly."
"Its pricing should be better. In terms of features, I am yet to explore the whole solution, and the current features seem okay."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
