Microsoft Azure Reviews

The information is confidential, so I cannot discuss what we use Microsoft Azure for. 

The diagnostics should have more logs. We must pay a surcharge for our dependence on the Azure monitor. Each platform comes with its own logs. 

The stability is good. There is compliance with the SLAs and we have not encountered any issues in this domain. 

The scalability is fine and this option exists with many of our products. 

I have not had occasion to make use of technical support. 

The initial setup is simple. It's not a big deal.

There are added costs to the company or for scaling for most premium products. 

I did not really evaluate other solutions before going with Microsoft Azure. 

We work off an app service environment. We are end-users of Microsoft, although my specific role is in IT architecture. 

I rate Microsoft Azure as an eight out of ten. 

We use Microsoft Azure as a cloud-based platform.

The solution has made operations for our organizations better by offering flexibility and integration with multiple other products.

The solution is very flexible, it is not limited to Microsoft solutions. It integrates well with other solutions, such as Oracle. There are a lot of templates we are able to use allowing us to reduce the time for configuration.

The solution could improve by simplifying network management. 

I have been using the solution within the past 12 months.

The solution is very easy to scale.

The price of the solution can be expensive.

I rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

I am a customer of Microsoft Azure and this solution is for my personal use. 

Compared to other solutions, I find Azure to be the best organized in terms of user interface, access, and features. The Google cloud platform is very awkward, access is not easy and it's difficult to see the prerequisites for your needs. With Microsoft, everything is easily accessible, you see all the preconditions, all the requirements with great monitoring, and at a good price. They do a lot of promotions so I was able to get the Azure subscription with my Visual Studio subscription. 

It's possible that the performance could be improved, but it's not a big issue. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

I haven't had experience with Microsoft's technical support because they offer good insights in the platform itself.

I would recommend this product. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We use the solution as our cloud service provider for product and project management.

The most valuable features of the solution are for management, such as dashboards. 

The solution could improve by providing better tutorials and documentation. There was a point when I was trying to understand how the board works and there was not any documentation that could articulate it properly. We had a whole team who had to go online to check other sources in order to understand.

I have been using Microsoft Azure in my organization for seven months.

Microsoft Azure is stable 99 percent of the time.

The solution is easy to scale. We needed more servers in the past months because of our application growth. It was a very easy process, you use your credit card online, authorize funds, and you have more servers.

We have approximately 2,000 people using this solution in my organization.

We have not needed to use technical support because we have not had any issues.

The installation of this solution was straightforward.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

We are using this solution as a cloud computing platform.

The solution could improve by providing a better user interface and more organized workflows.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately four years.

The solution is stable.

Microsoft Azure is highly scalable. It can be scaled to our needs easily.

The technical support has been excellent.

I was previously using AWS and we switched to Microsoft Azure because of the new project's use case.

I rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft Azure for application sourcing and migration.

We use the cognitive service, virtual machines, and customer DB.

We like that Microsoft Azure is scalable and easy to install as well.

The market place can be raised, and the CMT can be more sophisticated to create more opportunities for the end users. Nowadays, if I want to go and do a cloud management platform across private clouds and public clouds, then I would need something more out of the box and easy to use.

There's a huge need for platforms, like vertical platforms, where you've got to create the platforms out of the box to sell to those with particular domains. For example, aviation. They might be using their own platforms underneath CAPEX and OPEX that are not distributed. So it would be nice to address the security until you can provide a mutualized solution with CAPEX- and OPEX-based cloud platforms.

It would be good to have out-of-the-box modernization capabilities because the industry is always looking for modernization. So, it would be good to have an out-of-the-box AIML-based solution that would reduce the time needed for application modernization.

I've been using it for two years.

Scalability is out-of-the-box, and you need to design things, picking up the right service that is available. So, I don't see a challenge with scalability. It's all up to how you build it and fuse things together.

As for the initial setup, it's very straightforward. You can automate, create a blueprint, credit stack, etc. It's not complex.

Pay as you go pricing always helps, but you need to be very careful while considering the services. You would need to consider how it all works and how you will be charged. With adequate knowledge, I think you can come up with a good model where the pricing won't be a constraint.

There are a lot of good solution architect references on what Azure offers, so one should start looking at those. Then, you can correlate them to your problem and do a little mashup and create your solution by well-architected principles, like CAPEX, low cost, security, performance, and scalability.

I would rate Microsoft Azure at eight on a scale from one to ten.

We use the solution for analytics, storage and retention, for just about everything.

The solution is fantastic, with Teams, the works. It's just an amazing product.

It is stable and collaborative. It also helps that every person has Microsoft. So, the ease of use and the compatibility between users is fantastic for collaboration.

The biggest area needing improvement involves the licensing cost. The cost of actually acquiring the solution is of much significance to small to medium enterprises, especially in countries that have a negative currency. The biggest challenge we face in Africa is the lack of awareness among overseas, European and American vendors of the massive impact that the exchange rate has in the South African market. A cost of $20 for you can equal 300 rand for us. This is what most vendors neglect to realize, that a price affixed to something for the European or American market cannot be applied to the rest of the world or to a continent like Africa. The disregarding by vendors of the importance of the exchange rate amounts to ignorance or arrogance.

My issues are not with the product itself, which I think is great, including Microsoft's strategy concerning respecting it and the consolidation. The pricing, in terms of what can be referred to as traditional third world countries, needs to be addressed. 

The main takeaway that vendors should leave with is that they should not neglect the market in South Africa or in Africa. It is not enough for them to want to have a presence or sell a license. They should also show a desire to sell a value proposition.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for the last two years.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is very scalable.

I have clients who use it and there are plans to increase its usage.

In respect of technical support, Microsoft's skill level in the African market is great. There has been swinging about in terms of Microsoft's skill-set over the last three years and I think this boils down to the company having undertaken much training and education. McAfee can learn from Microsoft. 

As it is a cloud-based solution, there is no installation involved. It is more about configuration.

We pay for the license on a monthly basis. 

The solution is cloud-based.

I utilize it both for my personal use as well as that of my organization.

We have a group company and I think this amounts to around a thousand users.

I would absolutely recommend the solution to others.

Taking into account the usability of Microsoft Azure, I would rate it as a seven out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution in our lab. We use it for critical services for the most part.

The solution is very scalable. 

The stability is very good. The performance is excellent.

 We found the installation to be very easy and straightforward.

The cost of the product is too high. It would be ideal if they could lower it a bit for their customers.

I've been using the solution for about two to three years or so. It's been a while. 

The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is reliable. 

The scalability of the solution is very good. A company can expand it if it needs to.

We have six users on the solution currently. We have one project manager and five general users.

I can't speak to the technical support services or Microsoft. I can't say that I have used them.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's very simple. It's quite straightforward.

The solution is too expensive. They need to work on the pricing.

I can't speak to the exact cost our company pays in order to use Azure.

As it's a cloud-based solution, we're always on the latest version. it automatically self-updates.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've mostly been quite happy with the capability of the solution.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and other organizations.
