Microsoft Azure Reviews

I am a Team Lead of Information Security Control. We currently have 200 users working with Azure in our organization. 

Capacity planning has played an important part in working with Azure because it estimates all of the business goals and translates messages into the technology that is required to support.

The ability to create the actual resource on the private cloud is easy to manage with Microsoft Azure.

The response time and stability of Microsoft Azure need to be improved.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for four years.

The maintenance of this solution is done through Microsoft's partner, I would consider the service acceptable.

The initial deployment was done by Microsoft. The integration experience was good. The deployment and configuration was easy.

I would recommend working with Azure as this is a easy tool to use. I would rate this solution an 8 out of 10.

Our use case is infrastructure as a service and backup.

Azure is a cloud-based service, so its version is always current.

Infrastructure as a service is most valuable.

Its costing can be improved. There should be better cost management.

I have been using this solution for probably eight years.

It is very stable.

Its scalability is very good. We have around 10,000 users. We have two people for maintenance.

We have plans to increase its usage.

Their technical support is good.

The reason for switching from the previous solution was the move from on-premises to the cloud.

It was straightforward. It took just two weeks.

We had a consultant.

We have seen an ROI.

Its costing can be improved. Its licensing is monthly. In addition to the standard license fee, there is a transactional cost.

Ensure that you apply correct governance to the solution.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

We use Microsoft Azure for our internal systems during elections. We monitored the election party and we had a database of 20 million users.

The solution is similar to a plug-and-play system, it is easy to use.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately two years.

Microsoft Azure has been stable

The solution is scalable.

The technical support of Microsoft is okay. However, there were times we had to speak to them in the US time zone which was not convenient. There are times we have to wait because of the time zone issue.

The solution takes two to five people to implement and for maintenance; if the environment is larger it still only takes two to five people.

The subscription models can be confusing and it would be beneficial for them to simplify them. We are on an annual subscription.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

We are using Azure to run cloud-based applications. 

Azure is good because it is a Microsoft product. 

I would like it if Microsoft communicated better about upcoming changes before they roll them out. Sometimes when Microsoft implements changes, they don't notify the users promptly enough. I would like to know about new features, especially Office 365.

I just joined this company not too long ago, so I've been using Azure here for about two months.

Azure is pretty stable, so far.

Microsoft Azure is definitely scalable.

Microsoft has a lot of partners in this area, and they have a lot of information available online, so it's easy to get support. Also, Azure has a large user base. 

Azure is pretty easy to deploy. It's not very complicated. 

I rate Microsoft Azure eight out of 10. 

I'm working on cloud-based systems and I'm using Microsoft Azure for storage and for other purposes.

The most valuable features I have found to be the auto-scaling feature and the interface.

Microsoft Azure could improve by being more user-friendly and the interface could be better.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately six years.

I have not contacted support.

I have previously used Amazon AWS.

The installation of Microsoft Azure is straightforward.

I did the implementation of the solution.

The cost of the solution could be reduced. However, I am using the free version.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

We are partnered with both Microsoft and AWS. We use the Azure platform for our systems, and we are also a reseller that offers architecture and design services. One use case for Azure is building Active Directory Systems and creating a hybrid environment for the customers. Another is SQL Database. The third is systems like Linux 365. So we are reselling managed 365 solutions for our customers.

Onboarding customers is a challenge. Sometimes our customers don't know how to deal with the cloud environment. Maybe the customers are more comfortable with the old-fashioned on-premise environment. So it's challenging to move to a new environment in the cloud. Another area where there is room for improvement is maybe security. Also, the interface could use some work. And maybe Microsoft could add some new features for monitoring the environment.

Our company has been using Azure for four or five.

Azure is stable. I don't have any problems with it.

In general, Microsoft support is good. But in some cases, it takes a long time. 

The initial setup for Azure was straightforward.

I rate Microsoft Azure six out of 10. 

I was working on a project with a Czech company related to big data architecture and Databricks. The main goal was to provide a robust architecture to create data lakes with Databricks and Data Warehouse, provide self-service to the business area, etc. And I have experience with SAP as well. So one of our systems connects to create the ETL to load all the data to the data lake and other data businesses like Oracle, SQL, etc.

Databricks is really nice because you have the power to process lots of data and you can create queries and provide big analysis for the business using a robust cluster.

Maybe Azure could add an address code to create your analysis without SQL or Python because some business users don't want it to code. So it's good to have a service application that connects to the data lake to conduct analysis and simplify the business process.

I've been using Microsoft Azure since 2018.

I rate Azure seven out of 10. It's really good, but maybe it's missing some features or some integration so it can work better with non-Microsoft applications.

It is the backend system to support our SaaS products.

We have its cloud-based latest version.

It is stable and scalable.

Price could always be better. The features come in quickly, so we're comfortable with the feature set that is available to us.

I have been using this solution for three years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. Currently, we have 10 users.

They are fine with regard to service and support. 

Its initial setup is straightforward. It took about two weeks.

We had an internal team. We had two people do the initial install. They were developers and
system engineers.

Price could always be cheaper. Its licensing and usage aren't always cheap.

We pay monthly.

I would recommend this solution to other users who are looking into implementing such a solution. I would rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of 10.
