"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.

"Business Critical tier of Azure SQL database has point in time restore"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

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

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

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.

It is server less databases we can configure on Azure. It is easily scalable we can increase the database size. And there are other benifit as well like we can configure backup on Azure as well.

"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.
