"Reliable Database Solution"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

It offers all the benefits of a traditional SQL Server database, including good performance and scalability, strong security, and high management capabilities. Integrating it with web applications and implementing it is simple. I use it on day to day basis for the purpose of development, analysis. One of the greatest feature I love about it is scalability and ease of integration. Because amount of data increases everyday, so the database should scale in the same way. Customer support for any issues related to database are being handled quickly.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Based on the volume of data, I feel there is issue related to performance.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can get rid of on-prem traditional SQL Server database and forget about patching, management.

"Cloud data made easy (and relatively inexpensive)"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

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.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Great cloud native SQL database"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

It`s a great well-known SQL database but cloud-native. This means that you don`t need to manually install, setup and manage database. You will have fantastic scalability out of the box. If you need to increase throughput of your database for a short time (black Friday, for example) - no problem, just switch it at the Azure console and wait several minutes. Then you can decrease throughput back to save money. Also it has an excellent SQL performance analyzer.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The throughput of this database is expensive. For the fast one you will pay significant money.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scalable SQL data store for the web application. The main benefit is on-demand scalability options.

On Azure SQL Databse can not edit or export schema like SQL server also to modify or update need to write a query instead in SQL server directly wi get options to perform on columns.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connectivity to other platforms also some more features to edit like SQL server and one standalone application might helpful for developers and analyst to work on

"DBaaS is best for current database solutions scenario"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

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

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

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

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

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

"Best Cloud Database"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft Azure Databases provide the ability to use as needed, it's scalable and avoids buying bundles more than I need. and it's online 24/7 noway database has gone down.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The limitation of editing, some times when we have legacy software that needs some specific setting we could do it in the on-premise version, but on the cloud version er didn't.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Azure Databases provide a high level of availability that is very expensive if I need to build the same infrastructure on the host, especially when we have a small database volume.
