Microsoft Azure Pricing Overview

I've found Azure SQL Database to be an exceptionally reliable platform for both my personal and production environments. Its integration with Azure services streamlines my workflows and enhances the overall efficiency. The high availability and built-in intelligent performance features ensure that my applications run smoothly with minimal downtime, which is critical for maintaining a good user experience. Moreover, the scalability options are a breeze, allowing me to adjust resources according to the demand without any hassle. The security features, including automated backups and advanced threat protection, give me peace of mind, knowing that my data is well-protected.

While Azure SQL Database is a robust and feature-rich platform, it can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially when dealing with cost management and optimization. Sometimes, the pricing model seems complex, making it challenging to predict monthly costs accurately. Additionally, although rare, when technical issues arise, navigating through the support documentation can be time-consuming, and I wish there was a more streamlined process for resolving such issues.

Azure SQL Database allowes me to store structured data in a reliable fashion.

This database is more robust and secure. You can do store data in this database very smoothly and secured manner. And also perform curd operation here easy.

If I do compare with other database the i can say nothing to dislike here.

Its help me to store our data very secure on cloud. And it is also cost effective.

Very effective and powerful for database integration. As a result, it gives us many analysis options.Also, it's practical and easy to use every day with the correct assistance. We use it daily as primary database aslo the customer support is great. It is very easy to deploy and extend.

When compared to other cloud database services, Azure SQL Database may be more costly. I don't find any other thing to dislike apart from cost.

We are using as our relational database to solve machine learning problems and to receive cloud support.

The thing I like best about using Azure SQL Database is that our company has a best-in-class database without any of the upkeep. Not having to tune or update the database (because Microsoft handles all that) saves me a lot of time and effort. Working as the lone IT employee at my company, I appreciate how much of a force-multiplier automation and the cloud can be. Also, it is just a small part of what Azure has to offer and plays nice with Microsoft and non-Microsoft tech alike.

The only downside in my mind (which would apply to any cloud product) is that there is the possibility that the service can go down. In the years that we have been using Azure, I think it has happened once, for about 2 hours. The time I have saved and the ease of use and development that the company I work for has gained was well worth those couple hours lost.

Azure SQL is our primary data source, so it solves the problem of where our data is and how to connect to it. We have benefitted by being able to scale up our digital capabilities almost as rapidly as we can identify problems and solutions. It really has made the process of 'going digital' a fun event as opposed to a slog of warring against tech. I just can't imagine how it could be easier or more in reach for an organization of any size to gain some impressive capabilities at a very good price.

Scalability (can do auto-scaling when there is a need for more storage), High Availability and Disaster Recovery for business-critical tier, Security, and Performance if you tune the database properly.

The cost is high, there is limited control comparing to on-prem, and we have to do tuning to get the best out of the sql database and it is not so straightforward

Scalability issue, on prem if the storage ran out, we need to get extra disk and need to perform configuration for it to scale. Going to cloud, this is automated.

there are many things that can make someone like azure out of which my favourites were global community suppport, ton load of features, high scalability, easy devops integration and security of data with microsoft's assurance.

there are a few stuff i dislike about azure like the cost of the paid versions features, complexity wrt to alternatives like aws n gcp. Also the documentation is little bit complex which makes it bit hard to learn for beginners.

used it for learning cloud computing in college related projects. helped me get a good understanding of cloud based conceptsa and technologies and complete my college project

DBaaS is best when you are trying to onboard on database services its combination of cloud services and better that regular RDBMS the best thing is its cost efficient with high scalability and advance security metrices for data and applications

Limited control on database like we have full control on RDBMS but in this case we depend on solution provider of DBaaS. Security is compromised at one level because we outsource our data via third party and in worst case scenario if third party got cheated and data is leaked it will impact us also

DBaaS provides 24*7 support if we got stuck in qny issues the professionals are there to resolve major issues like perfomance issues and stability issues. Yes, it increases the productivity because of lot of automation

More user friendly and easy to understand technology. More secured. More features.

Nothing particular to mention reg disadvantage.

It reducing management cost and saving our time.
