Microsoft Azure stands out for its comprehensive suite of cloud services that support a wide range of business needs, from simple app hosting to advanced AI and machine learning solutions. Its global reach with an extensive network of data centers ensures high availability, low latency, and regulatory compliance across regions. Azure’s integration with Microsoft products like Office 365, Active Directory, and Dynamics makes it incredibly easy for enterprises to transition to the cloud. I particularly appreciate its security-first approach, with built-in threat protection and compliance certifications, which gives great peace of mind. Additionally, Azure's flexibility in hybrid cloud setups and its strong developer ecosystem make it a top choice for modern digital transformation initiatives.

While Microsoft Azure offers powerful capabilities, the platform can be complex and overwhelming for new users, with a steep learning curve compared to some competitors. Pricing structures can also be confusing and sometimes unpredictable, especially when scaling services across multiple regions or using specialized offerings like AI and advanced analytics. In addition, support response times can occasionally be slower than expected for non-premium customers, which can be frustrating when dealing with critical issues. Finally, some services feel less polished compared to competitors like AWS, particularly in areas such as documentation clarity and portal performance.

Microsoft Azure is solving critical infrastructure and scalability challenges by providing a reliable, secure cloud platform for hosting our applications and managing our data. It removes the burden of maintaining physical servers, simplifies application deployment with services like App Service and Kubernetes, and ensures high availability with Load Balancers and Application Gateways. Azure's managed databases and storage solutions solve data management and disaster recovery needs, while serverless options like Azure Functions help us optimize for cost and performance. Overall, Azure enables us to scale efficiently, innovate faster, reduce operational complexity, and deliver better service reliability to our customers.

The best feature in MS Azure that I absolutely like is it's ability to scale the resources up/down to match demand.

The pricing of MS Azure is undoubtedly complex and as a platform it has a steep Learning Curve.

For our business, we need scalability + Microsoft ecosystem synergy. And this is exactly what MS Azure offers us.

It's hard to pick a tool within the platform that I like the most, as it's very comprehensive. However, I really like the integration with Microsoft Entra ID, where you can assign roles to users and also set access rules to resources within Microsoft Azure.

The Azure platform is really quite complete. So far, I haven't found anything I don't like, because it has worked very well in the company.

Microsoft Azure has solved bottleneck problems in the data transition that we had in our operations through scalability and process automation. This has generated satisfaction for our customers, as well as savings for the company, which now has the freedom to dedicate itself and develop innovations.

I like services like Azure blob, azure function, and for source control management azure devops.

There is not much i dislike, but have minor issue in some of services.

It helps in efficient, simple, cost-effective storage and cloud management client applications.

Microsoft Azure is one of best Cloud service provider. Provide the services for IAAS, PAAS, SAAS, as per the solution we can choose the services and pay for that only. it has very user friendly and customizable dashboard. As it's a microsoft application so it can be intregrated with other application very easily. There are multiple ways to monitor the application and you can set up alert as per your requirement. As I am also working with Azure from last few years So It's highly recommended. as it's a microsoft product so you can trust on security part as well. Provide the great customer supoort with techinal person to resolve your issue. Implemention is also very easy with Azure.

As such there is nothingh which I didn't like about Azure. Overall it's a great solution but some like Application Gateway and Azure congnitive of the services that I feel costly.

It's a great solution for small organization as well, they don't need to spend buying any infrastructure setup to run their environment without taking care of backend support, for rest of the technical issue can be resolved by consulting with Microsoft team.

Its an great cloud platform to manage your resources which are scable upto a great instant without so much hustle. Its very easy to implement, use and integrate to other microsoft services like office 365, AD etc..

Quite high costing is an concern for azure servies. Also they are countunious changing a lot, which sometime became quite difficult to manage or find settings.

It is an combined bundled cloud platform to manage your services or instances. And when it comes to organisation having windows machine in Ad like ours, then it becomes very easy to manage all the IT or devops stuff. We can manage our VMs, cosmos DB, Kube services, various resource groups- according to projects, blob storage services etc. from an single platform. It also have its data centres across globe and its market share continuously increasing which make it popular among others. And for security it always set on high as it have azure key vault, defender which continuous check for any vulnerabilitis and you can remidiate them accordingly.

Ease of subscription, creating VMs, data storage, and configuring pipelines. Ease of integration with other platforms. Scalability is perfect.

The dashboard looks a little clumsy. All the created resources need to be figured out.

Developing, testing & hosting my applications. Databases inclusive. Configuring pipelines.

- Azure has vast varitiy of serivces, be it PAAS, SAAS, or IAAS, so depending on your solution needs you can choose your prefered option. - Integration with 3rd party tools is easier to implement and secure with OAuth 2.0 approach (based on Azure service principal) - Do you want to host a simple static website -> just use Storage account, or VM, or App service, choice is yours! - Facing any issues with any of the implemented solution? Just get in touch with Microsoft support (you need to have the basic support plan) and they will help you to sort out the issue in the best way possible. - The Azure portal interface is simple and easy to use, resource are grouped using resource groups, so segration of Environments can be done on Subscription and resource group level. - Analysing the cost is easier at scope of resource group or subscription level. - There are multiple ways by which you can monitor your application and setup alerts as per your solution's requirement. - Permission management & assignment is easier with Role based access control. - Being a frequent user of Azure for more than 5 years, I would highly recommand the use of Azure for your next solution.

- For most of the services they provide good SLA, however if there are any issues, eg. Network timeout for consumption based logic apps, Azure Data factory, then even if we contact the support, there is a high chance that the support team may not be able to provide you detailed log info, and you have to implement a retry or some sort of workaround. - Sometimes due to temporary outage of services, alert firing might be missed.

Microsoft Azure has highly available services, due to which hosting a solution is easier, and mainly that means you can access it from anywhere in world, this means less of maintaince, making sure of the hosting services are up or not, and more of actual work that can be done! Compared to other cloud platforms some of the solutions are cheaper / simply better on Azure.

It is very easy to use, integrates very easily with Microsoft technology, has an endless number of tools, and works very well for daily use, and they have support that is worth gold.

its price can be very high, which is why it is worth considering

The infrastructure always available, with redundancy and easy management of its platform, especially the elasticity.

Microsoft Azure offers some of the best cloud services at low costs. It is one of the most popular cloud platforms used by many large organizations it provides user-friendly interface that makes it easy to identify and create services. microsoft azure offers a variety of services for different use cases based on pricing tiers and budget you can choose services like Web apps, Kubernetes, Azure functions and many more, depending on your needs. they also provide certifications and courses to help users understand the portal.

I don't dislike anything about Azure but some services like Application Gateway and Azure Cognitive Services can be a bit costly.

Microsoft Azure helps our organization host applications without any upfront costs and without the need to worry about infrastructure. It provides a pay as you go model allowing us to deploy applications without concern for underlying costs.
