"The best database for the cloud"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

We've been using Azure SQL Database for a long time. It's the best PaaS offering for Microsoft SQL Server which features a 99.99% availability. You can leverage the 3 possible flavors of it - Managed Instances, Single, Elastic Pool. Managed Instance is basically the fully-featured SQL Server for the cloud where Single and Elastic Pool are more restricted(but performant) options. You can choose among a good variety of scalability options and service tiers. Azure SQL database implements Automatic performance tuning, built-in backups, and integration with Azure Active Directory.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

I would love it if it becomes a little more transparent in terms of Dynamic Management Views, advanced features and integration with SQL Server Profiler (although it's announced as legacy).

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

We have been using Azure SQL Database in almost every solution we are involved in. Typically it's used for the persistence of the core application data. Some solutions that employ the microservices architecture need more than one Azure SQL Database to store its information.

"Excelent performance and lots of plans to choose"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Running Virtual Machines on cloud using Microsoft Azure impressed me a lot. I was a little bit cetic about performance when running cloud environments, but it was really good on Azure. I/O performance is fair, even using mechanical HD's on VM's (because they are cheapper), performance are pretty much equivalend to a real mechanic HD. And its pretty cheap. You can pick vm's with 4 cores and a decent amount of RAM for a fair price.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

I can't really remember something i dislike about it. Everything worked well and without any problems. The environment is very stable.

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

Cloud Environments, Virtual Machine, Cloud Computing
