Microsoft Azure Reviews

A lot of customers are turning to Microsoft Azure. We are using the latest version and we are a Microsoft Gold partner. We use it as a backup solution. It is also used for authentication and cancellations. We are providing these types of solutions as a live requirement, and we are moving customers to their Cloud Station.

The system is more secure.

It could be more stable, but we think this is due to Microsoft making changes too often to their setup. We also think the configuration could be easier. Sometimes performance takes a hit on a slow network. Microsoft does not appear to pay enough attention to the platform or the account solution.

We have been using Microsoft Azure for a few years.

Microsoft Azure is very scalable.

Microsoft does provide good support and enables our customers to obtain the results they need.

Initially, it was difficult to setup. The complexity comes in when there are more items to configure. We pay our bill in a monthly or 6 monthly billing cycle. The cost depends on how much you use during the period.

I would rate Microsoft Azure 8 out of 10. 

We are primarily using the solution for DevOps purposes.

The installation of the product is very straightforward. It's quite easy in general.

The product is very stable. The performance has always been reliable.

We've found the solution to be extremely flexible.

I cannot recall anything really specific that needs to be addressed within the solution. There aren't any features that are missing as far as I can tell.

It would be helpful if it offered more integration with other platforms.

I've been using the solution for a couple of years at this point. It's been a while.

The solution is very stable. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It is reliable and the performance is good.

The scalability overall has been fine. We have about 500 users in the solution currently.

If a company needs to expand it, or scale it, it can do so. It shouldn't be that hard to accomplish.

We do plan to continue to use the solution into the future.

I rarely have any issues with the solution itself and therefore don't have too much experience with technical support. We don't have any complaints, to be honest.

We did not previously use a different solution before implementing Azure. This is our first tool in this area.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very easy and very straightforward. The process shouldn't give a company any trouble.

I can't recall the exact length of time it took to deploy the product.

The pricing is likely reasonable. If you compare it to other cloud providers, there isn't too much of a difference. It likely is competitive in the market.

We are customers and end-users.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using at this time.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. Our experience so far has been mostly positive.

Overall, I would rate the product at an eight out of ten.

One of the use cases that we have is with our installation of SAP on private. We also have some apps that we have developed that are public, and we use the security system that they provide. We also use Microsoft Sentinel, which is the SIEM that helps us to align with the alerts and the incidents. We have a combination of public and private clouds, but everything is in Azure.

Its ability to scale is most valuable. There are certain periods of the year when we are busier, and we're able to scale up and scale down with Azure depending upon our needs.

They're already doing quite a bit. I'm not unsatisfied with anything that they're doing right now. They can maybe make the transitions a little smoother and improve its pricing. The pricing for the end-user packages is a bit high.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable. It is very simple to scale.

You have to go through a lot of preliminary levels before you finally get to someone, but you can get a difficult problem solved. There is a process that you have to follow.

As far as the setup goes, most of it is pretty simple. When we started working with Microsoft Intune and a little bit on the unified labeling, it became a bit more complicated, but we're getting through it.

Shared active directory and multifactor authentication (MFA) are a little bit difficult to introduce because once you put something on it, it affects all of their Office products and anything that deals with Microsoft, whether it is SharePoint, OneDrive, or something else. Often, we want to activate it for an app and not so much for everything else, but that's our peculiar quirk. I don't think there is anything that Microsoft needs to change necessarily.

The pricing for the end-user packages is a bit high. It is full of very interesting services, but I would still like it to be less expensive.

I would rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

We use this solution to host applications for our customers. We're implementers, we support our clients.

We have 32 customers using this solution. We have a technical team that handles all maintenance-related issues. We have multiple teams in place for each and everything. For each platform, we have an integrated team in place. 

Microsoft Azure is flexible and the performance is great.

From a security perspective, it could be improved. A little bit of automation would also be nice.

I have been using this solution for four years.

Microsoft Azure is both stable and scalable.

The technical support could be faster.

Overall, the initial setup is quite straightforward. Installation takes roughly four to five days.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

We sell Microsoft products, and licensing that is involved in an Open License.

We sell a variety of solutions to our customers.

Microsoft Azure is a very good solution for many customers. We prefer to offer hybrid solutions to our smaller-sized customers.

The online will be through Azure or 365 and the databases we prefer locally.

It is used with Exchange, all of the mail, team, and the share products such as SharePoint.

Also for security with AI, which we are still testing.

Microsoft Azure has a large scope, it can do many things.

Everything is very easy to work with.

I believe that some of the services need to be available on the on-premises version and not only based on the cloud.

There are some security issues in the cloud that cannot be solved. Some countries will not allow you to store certain types of data on the cloud.

We started using Microsoft 365 in 2009.

The stability needs improvement. At times when there is a problem in one area, everything gets stopped, which is not good.

If the problem is the bandwidth and you have a number of redundancies or lines that link to Azure, you will have few options in Azure.

it is a scalable solution.

We haven't had a lot of issues. In our company, we prefer to learn about each product, and by doing this, we have fewer issues.

The installation is very easy.

Most areas of the application can be installed in a few minutes, but the configuration is a different story.

The configuration is dependent on the demands or the environment.

it can take hours or it can take days.

Most of the pricing from Microsoft is reasonable.

The prices are very good for the services.

If Microsoft Azure meets the demands of the company, we would recommend it.

Other companies, may require products like Amazon, or they use their own data center. It depends on the company.

I would rate most of the areas in Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

Within our organization, there are roughly 15 people using this solution.

It's a great solution. It's so customizable. Every user can create dashboards to suit their needs. We can create and share them with our teammates easily, too.

Microsoft Azure is also very user-friendly.

I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved.

I have been using this solution for five years.

Microsoft Azure is both scalable and stable.

The technical support is very responsive.

I evaluated Amazon and Google Cloud.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. Deployment depends on your requirements. Typically, I can deploy it within a weeks time.

There are monthly and yearly payment plans. We save more in the long run with the yearly option.

I would absolutely recommend this solution to other users.

Microsoft Azure has all of the latest cloud services with all high availability and scalability. It's also very secure. The cost is more or less the same across all cloud service providers, too. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine.

Due to the pandemic, I haven't been able to utilize their full resources.This has made it complicated to scale up. I hope this will be resolved after the pandemic.

The primary use case of this solution is generally for infrastructure service, and also for VC-migrations and district modernization using the platform service. We're a consulting firm so we use this solution and also deploy it for our customers. I'm an architect/project manager and we are partners of Microsoft.

The main beneficial features the product provides are security, scalability, and elasticity.

The technical support could be improved. When we leave tickets, it can take some days before the issue is dealt with. 

I've been using this solution for four years. 

We haven't had any issues with stability in the last 12 months, prior to that there were some small problems. 

The scalability is good, most of our clients are enterprise size organizations. 

The initial setup is straightforward, the environment is mature with a lot of documentation. 

The price of the solution is okay although it depends on the region of the deployment.

A company should look at the suitability for their use case before choosing a solution. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

Within our company, there are around 150 employees using this solution. We have a technical team of about five or six people. 

I like that it's cloud-based and it's 24/7, theoretically. I am also happy with the licensing fees. It's quite competitive in the market. They sell Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and level 5 licenses, and one of them is compatible with PowerPoint. The licensing fee is quite cheap for what they're offering.

A few different vendors from Fortinet, from Barracuda, from Forcepoint, all use infrastructure from Azure from time to time. A problem with Azure is that the architecture that they have is not really compliant — not really connecting with the endpoint Cloud. It's a different type of architecture, so that's a mistake from Microsoft. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.

It could be more secure actually. Microsoft Defender is not very secure. The platform is also a bit slow, to be honest. It takes a few seconds to load. Although, it does update quickly now. It's one-click — Microsoft takes four seconds and Google takes two and a half. It's minimal.

Better integration with other vendors and third-party systems would be a nice change.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for roughly five or six years.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

Microsoft Azure is cloud-based, so it's definitely scalable. 

We didn't have any problems setting it up.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Azure a rating of eight. It's a good product. It does have a few flaws but it's solid.
