Microsoft Azure Reviews & Product Details
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. It provides a range of cloud services, including those for compute, analytics, storage, and networking, allowing users to pick and choose from these services to develop and scale new applications, or run existing applications, in the public cloud.

Azure Service Fabric is seriously special. There are now many competing offers for creating an infrastructure by which one can have a variety of services, such as logging, data storage, API hosting, monitoring, and scalability. Namely, one thinks of Kubernetes, Docker, etc when thinking of container management and competing services such as Google App Engine when thinking of direct competitors. Service Fabric is seriously special because it not only allows you to tie all of these features into a single, easily manage, scalable package, but also because it is incredibly easy to use, and allows you to 'roll-your-own' package in the sense that it is NOT opinionated and does not force you to use any one feature or programming lanaguage.
There isn't a lot to dislike - it is simply a system which allows you to use whatever you are comfortable with, and empowers you to scale endlessly given your custom stack. It is the future of ecosystem management.
Pretty much any technological needs - when I worked at Microsoft, we dogfooded service fabric extensively because of its scalability, easy of use, and allowance for any technology. This realizes many benefits - we are putting together many pieces of the puzzle in one place, with guaranteed scalability and performance. Very few other services/offerings can say that.
Creating a virtual machine is very easy , it is more of a do-it-yourself process. A lot of readily available VM options to choose from depending on the needs and purpose of the VM to be created. Clarity on the pay as you go model.
there is nothing to dislike. Microsoft is doing its best in the cloud industry.
We are migrating our VMs from Hyper-V to Azure in order to save in house Infrastructure cost and time.
Offers a wide array of features and is a great option for cloud storage.
It is a fairly new product but I have yet to experience an inconvenience.
Cloud storage necessities
Ease of use and connectivity, very straight forward documentation. Built-in monitoring allows you to determine the actual usage of your MySQL server relative to your workload.
It's a bit pricey when compared to non Microsoft products
The biggest benefit of Azure Database for MySQL will be the ability to auto scale and respond to spikes in traffic by temporarily adding more resources, and then bringing them back down when they’re not needed.
This new software allowes use to easily migrate within minutes, offering more secuirtry with granular access control then the next best software!. It also allowes backups for our manged disk, with poin in time snapshots
Currenlty there is nothing we dislike about 'Managed Disks'. The software is next to perfect level! Very good indeed.
More secure disks for our VMs!
Ease of use, tutorials and marketplace...
Setting up network from ground up adding rules etc... Some template would be good to kick start a cluster of 2 Ubuntu servers in Asia for example...
PoC
The interface is easier to use and performance is pretty great. The price is also reasonable -- will definitely consider switching
Nothing - it sure beats my pre-configured Amazon AWS deep learning AMI. Great product
Completed tasks almost 340% faster
The product works really well and gives us a ton of storage. All of the management is done via the Azure portal and very rarely have we ever had the need to login directly to the controllers. I think the best part of this solution is the fact that you can easily setup backup and retention policies within the Azure interface. They're simple, intuitive, and easy to monitor once they've been set up.
I dislike that you have to have downtime in order to upgrade the firmware on the disks. I think you should be able to just pull the trigger, controller 0 does its upgrade, fails over, and then controller 1 does its upgrade. Currently, the process involves manually plugging your laptop into each controller, running some commands via Powershell, and sitting there for two hours while the upgrade happens. Not fun.
We use the StorSimple to manage our in-house file shares that serve the business. We also use it to house another copy of our Veeam backup data so that we have a repository on our ExaGrid as well as a copy on our StorSimple.
No having the need to keep it on out physical server. Ability to move from server with just clicks. Scalability and mirroring
First setup might be a little tricky specially the mirroring
Data storage
The PaaS model, with no virtual machines, reduces the attack surface thus aids with compliance. Think PCI DSS for example.
Some pricing tiers and the availability in some regions.
Compliance, once again PaaS simplifies it all.
