Microsoft Azure Reviews

We subscribed to Microsoft Azure, which is a platform as a service where we have our applications in the cloud. We use applications, such as Office 365, on the Azure platform and we are diversifying our infrastructure in the Azure environment from our on-premise solutions.

There are a lot of valuable features in Microsoft Azure, such as Kubernetes, pipelines, and development environments. Additionally, the Security Center is very useful, I always go in to look at the security features and how those assets in the cloud are being protected.

The solution could improve by having more security features around my data and the platform.

I have used Microsoft Azure for approximately one year.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have a lot of teams using this solution in my organization, approximately 20.

The technical support from Microsoft is good.

We have an annual license subscription to use the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

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.

Microsoft Azure is mainly used for legacy system migration. We also use it for platform development and new custom development package solutions.

The solution is very easy to use.

The product has been stable and the performance is good.

It's very flexible. We find that it is easy to integrate with other Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Office.

The solution scales quite well.

Technical support is very helpful.

There aren't limitations that come to mind. Whatever they have planned for the solution in the future, I will be happy with it.

The solution could always work to reduce its costs.

It would be ideal if the solution could offer more non-Microsoft-related integration capabilities.

I've been using the solution for two years at this point. It hasn't been too long just yet.

We have found the stability and performance to be quite good. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. 

The solution is very scalable. If a company would like to expand it, it can do so.

Currently, we have around 1,000 users.

We've found Microsoft's technical support to be good. they are helpful and responsive and so far, we are satisfied with their level of assistance.

I also have experience working with AWS, Amazon Web Services.

I was not a direct part of the installation, therefore, I can't really comment. I can't directly speak to if the process was easy or difficult.

The pricing could be a bit lower. It would make their customers happy if they decided to charge less.

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

We are customers and end-users, however, we are also advisors. We give advice on products to our customers.

As the solution is cloud-based, it's consistently updated and we are always on whatever the latest version is. 

We've been quite happy with its capabilities. I'd rate it at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to other users or companies that want to start exploring it.

I'm using the entire Microsoft Azure suite for storage applications and database applications.

I like the functionalities and the price. I'm very satisfied with Microsoft Azure.

It could be cheaper.

I've been using Microsoft Azure for at least five years.

It's a stable solution.

Microsoft Azure is scalable.

The price is good, but it can always be cheaper.

The fact is I, as a customer or anybody else for that matter, will value the choices in front of them before deciding. In this case, the functionality on offer and the price helped us choose Microsoft Azure. If I get something better in terms of these two variables tomorrow, I will certainly switch.

I would recommend this solution to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Azure an eight.

We just use it as a virtual environment.

It has been good financially because no CapEx investment is required for any of the on-prem infrastructures. It is an OPEX model, so it is easy for budgeting.

Its resiliency is most valuable. It is also a very scalable solution, so you can spend the resources on demand.

The interface for configuring the environment is not very intuitive. Certain things are at different places, and it is not easy to navigate.

They should have a more transparent licensing model. Currently, Microsoft's licensing is a bit clunky, and it keeps changing depending on the type of subscription you have. Different features are included, and sometimes, it is very hard to figure out the right licensing. So, the commercial aspect of the licensing can be improved, and they can make it easier to understand all the features that are included.

I have been using this solution for about a year and a half.

I can't complain.

It is a very scalable solution.

Thankfully, I didn't have to use support. We have a CSP, and we are dealing with our partner who deals with Microsoft on our behalf.

I am not sure, but I think this is the first cloud infrastructure that we have used.

It has a pretty straightforward deployment. There are just a couple of clicks. The deployment takes about a day.

We used the reseller.

Price-wise, it is comparable to other solutions for the features that we are using.

It is pretty straightforward. I would advise others to just make sure that you have an architecture that you want to implement. You need to understand what you want to achieve in order to build or configure the platform correctly. The infrastructure, architecture, and design are very important to fully understand what resource groups do you want to use because you're building around the resource groups. That's pretty much it. 

We are thinking of increasing the usage of the cloud, and I'm looking at alternatives. After all the research is done, we will see if it is going to be Azure or something else.

I would rate Microsoft Azure a ten out of ten because it is doing everything I want it to do, and I don't really have a comparison with other similar products.

It is a very easy-to-use platform, and it is very powerful in terms of data backup and Blob storage. It has very good features, especially if you are using Microsoft products, such as Windows, Microsoft SQL Server.

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.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is a stable product, but it also depends on the configuration.

It is very scalable.

It is quite straightforward.

Its price should be optimized so that we can use more features.

I would rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten because my environment is Windows-based. For a non-Microsoft environment, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We use it for various services and business applications. 

It is stable and scalable. It is useful for many applications and services, such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive.

They can add more documentation about the solution.

I have been using this solution for two years. 

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have around 100 people in the organization.

Their technical support is good. There are no problems.

It is easy to set up.

I would recommend this solution. It is a good solution.

I would rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

Implementation of Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery solution, where we used Carbonite Availability as the primary tool and Microsoft Azure as secondary/target location.

Real-time replication configured from one point to another for business continuity and high availability. 

Altogether, there are eight servers in the local premise which are entirely replicated to the cloud. The kept cloud servers are idle until a disaster happens with the on-premise servers. The project setup was successful even with real-time testing. It was done with automatic failover and failback.  

It has improved our organization. 

It was very user-friendly when setting up the virtual machines and console. It was an easy task for my team to create virtual servers and start replications. 

We able to manage resources wisely with a third-party tool.  

It should have cost optimization tools. Customers are required to use third-party applications to avoid usage complications. Also, charging on downloads is not a good option, especially when it moves to a production server. 

Two years.

Achieving business continuity was a nightmare. Project was done for a supermarket chain where they kept one machine in every branch directly connected to remote data center. The connection was done using VDIs. Whenever there is glitch at the remote data center, the entire infrastructure was in trouble, which in turns affected the business a lot. Setting up a disaster recovery data center was an expensive plan and maintenance was too heavy. Connecting Carbonite Availability with Azure was an easy options, as it reduced overhead and maintenance.

Monthly billing convenience reduced cost overheads up to 70 percent.
