Compare Microsoft Azure with other popular tools in the same category.
azure container is a service that allows us to be able to save information in a docker with a 2.0 registry that this is a much wider security system than the cloud system, I like it because it is a system where I can save all my important information and images and in this way delete the information from the computer but keeping the information in the cloud docker in this way is sure, it is a very wide system and offers a free trial that allows you to test the system, the best thing about the services is to add filters to share the images with other people and decide when not to share it.
I do not have any specific problem with this software because it allows me to save all my images on your system, it offers different types of capabilities and that can be one of the most common problems for users since, although it offers us a free system, it should be expand the server since it is not enough with the free trial offered it is necessary to purchase a package.
Previously we needed images and it was necessary to email us the information, however we discovered that this can be a bit dangerous since the loss of important information during the sending of these emails can be very common, so we decided to use a docker service where I could save all the images for campaigns, advertising and in this way keep these images safe as well as help to improve the capacity of my computer by passing the images and freeing up space, very happy for its easy and simple purpose.
Azure is a good and easy-to-use product with many features, such as storing and managing containers and automated implementations. It is one of the most powerful services we have used, it is simple and can store images and is very flexible.
I think it could improve its interface a bit to make it more pleasant for users, I would also like to see a little more space since there are other services that offer more space and look more complete, it is the only negative point of Azure.
We used to use another service, but then we realized that Azure was much better, since it is easy to create containers and integrate applications, it has been very useful.
Best thing in Microsoft Azure Blob Storage is that it saves the internal memory and every data on cloud
Microsoft Azure Blob Storage depend upon Internet so blob might get missed
Problem of storing data without using internal storage can be solved using Microsoft Azure Blob storage
El hecho de que todo esté organizado en un solo panel realmente es genial, además de ahorrar dinero generando nuevos contratos también ayuda a tener todos los servicios organizados y ordenados. Lo que más nos gusta es la "interface" y el método de creación de dichas máquinas virtuales. Son muy customizables y además ofrecen saldo gratuito para probar los servicios.
Tal vez si tuviéramos que decir una cosa sería el precio. Aunque te deja elegir facturar por hora o por mes sigue siendo algo costoso, al menos para nosotros.
Con Azure virtual machines lanzamos aplicaciones y las dejamos en segundo plano. Son aplicaciones necesarias para el bien funcionamiento de la empresa y debemos tenerlas operativas en un lugar seguro y sin caídas de servicio. Azure de momento nos está ofreciendo lo que pedimos.
The best part about Azure was that it was easy to find everything on the dashboard. Their UI is very easy to follow.
I do wish that they had better keyword researching tools.
I am using machine scale sets to help my business learn more quickly. It has helped my products sell a lot faster.
Very flexible setup for this application. The security features are pretty good. Also they have very good user control features. Really should be apart of every modern day IT shop.
Depends on how you set up. If not done correctly it could be a pain in the butt.
Great for SSO applications and mobile device management with Intune. It's crazy how good it goes with Microsoft 365 environment.
In Azure Virtual Machine creation and configuration process is easy and it require less efforts. Integration and deployment with other tool is simple. Database hosting and setup process is seamless. Scalability wise it's good enough and we can scale it any time according to business requirement. Performance wise its efficient and database availability during the peak time is great even there is a lot of traffic and parrallely other jobs and backup processes are in running state. In case of database security this is exceptional as DB encryption provides high level of security on the cloud. API's good enough documentation is available that is greatly helpful to configure and manage the resources.
We can scale the resources in good way but higher number impacts on price and some time it's a bit complex to understand the impact so for newbie user there is some learning curve.
Managed the large scale databases and improved the availability/access of same. Database backup and restoration activities are super easy.
Azure Virtual Machine rappresenta il miglior servizio IaaS su public cloud. Permette la scalabilità verticale delle macchine virtuali in base alle esigenze aziendali. Le configurazioni sono facilmente implementabili dirattamente dal portale Azure.
Alcune funzionalità non sono disponibili dal portale web. E' necessario utilizzare powershell.
Molti server sono stati migrati su Azure diminuendo notevolmente il workload delle risorse On-Prem. In questo modo è stato implementato l'Hybrid-cloud.
azure kubernetes service works well, installs easily, is robust and is constantly updated.
I don't like that azure kubernetes service still doesn't support autoscaling of nodes,
we use Azure kubernetes service for microservices scheduling for our customers on cloud.
This system is perfect in Linux systems, free software is very stable and virus free, with this service I make several virtual machines and test everything I need by controlling the capacity of my process to optimize everything. I like it because the configuration is very simple, this service is stable and works great. When I'm starting I use a free trial, it's great because I see all the benefits before paying.
I love Azure Linux Virtual Machines, I have no problems with this system.
Application development and everything related to my work from Linux is perfect because it adapts well to everything I need.
This program is perfect because I was able to test the trial version first before paying for the product, I also like that I increase or decrease the capacity of the processes. The configuration of this program is easy and you also ask for support and guide you for its installation and configuration. Compatible with Linux and SQL Server.
I don't find anything negative with this program, it works well for my needs.
I work 100% all on Linux, it is more stable, free and secure for my project, the Cloud service helps me a lot.
How well thought this was. Microsoft does excel in what it does and Azure vms are the proof of that. Pratically no downtime and you're assured a good coverage, no matter where in the globe you want to deploy. African servers planned soon!
not much to say here. I wish I had an instant notification whenever the servers I use are down,
There's no travelling anymore. You can use Azure whenever and wherever you want.
I like Azure Linux because it is easy to use and I can increase or decrease the capacity of the processes, this makes me control more the resources of the PC, also the online virtual machine compatible with the cloud. It is compatible with SQL Server and Oracle.
I would like service plans more accessible to your pocket, with respect to the program I have no problem.
I develop from a virtual machine in Windows or Linux without any problem, deciding on the capacity of my PC resources.

HI, I have been using Amazon virtual machines since 2013 . Its a very novel product very usefull to IT techies to test products and add more servers when we need more for handling traffic. I had my SQL , ERP, CRM servers on them also worked to the best. As for budget. Boy its good. only pay for the use. Like fire up use and close. Only pay for the usage.
the bad part is if it had a cut off or auto shutdown with time or date would have been nice. as sometimes if some one forgets to log out and shutdown he is kept on billing.
I use them as my Backup servers and also as my production.
Compatibility with Linux, Windows Server, SQL Server, Oracle and much more. Free Trial. Increase or decrease the capacity of the processes. The setup is easy. Many plans for all needs. Use Powershell Online virtual machine with Cloud environments very easy to use.
Personally Azure Linux Virtual Machines works perfectly on Linux and Windows, I have no problems with this program.
Implementing Cloud services and development services, all this in Linux.
The power of postgresql is multiplied with the scale of azure One click solution to enable azure database in my project Integration with all azure products including azure cloudshell and azure vm
It is not clear how data encryption at rest and in transit is supported Takes some time to provision It is not clear how my data is replicated under the hood and how many data centers do my data live It would be benefical to have an URL that I can connect to the database via HTTPs with my certificate to manage using my existing commandline tools instead of having to go to the Azure web site to manage the Azure db for postgresql.
Store database of alerts Query database of alerts in time series windows Send notification across sites using a single postgresql database on azure

I have been using azure storage explorer since 9 months. Being an Cloud Engineer I absolutely love how this tool on your local machine works exactly as the azure portal interface. You can download very big files in just few seconds. You do not have to login to portal each time to upload files to your blob. You can just do it from your local machine just giving your one time credentials. You can see all your storage account names in the left side pane for easy access to each blob.
One thing that comes to mind is frequent updates reminder. Every alternate day I see an reminder asking to update the azure storage explorer version. Although it is not very annoying to see the updates, I think Microsoft should inform the users what the update is about.
Ok, before whenever we want to upload a large file (say 300mb) we used to upload them via azure portal which is very slow.I believe it used to take around 45 mins. to upload the file to blob. After the introduction of Azure Storage Explorer, the time took to upload the same file was around 2-3 mins. Also we were able to do other tasks on Azure Portal while the upload is in place in Storage explorer.
It meets the needs of performance and capacity-centric applications and gives you a complete hybrid cloud storage solution for enterprises.
Lack of Hyper-V snapshot support, Inability to upload custom Images.
Accelerate disaster recovery , improve compliance.
Load Balancer is simple to create and well integrate with other Azure resources such as Scale Set, Web App and it provides almost feature we need with layer 4 Load balancer: Destination selection, Port forwarding, Automatic reconfiguration, Health probes... We could use the Basic SKU for free and it has all the features we need for small or medium applications
Documentation is not clear enough and configures health probes base on backend service in the portal is confusing
We create VM scale set with Load Balancer and it works well. It supports scale up and down, distribute traffic to all VM in scale set and we do not need to care about VM scale set just Load Balancer Load Balancer provides good build in metric and Resource health report to troubleshoot issue
1. It saves time in efficiency in falls and backups, since my supplier company is well equipped to solve any problem that happens 2. Rapid implementation of software already tested by many users 3. Great ability to customize applications and their configuration 4. Automatic updates that are very fast and effective arising from the experience of many users
Disadvantages 1. Vulnerability of the privacy of our data, access with security managers and https protocols reduce the danger.
The investment in physical machines and the maintenance they entail have been simplified. The configuration process has been streamlined and has allowed us to adapt our systems to our needs with complete flexibility. I can also monitor the performance and predict if it is necessary to scale or not our machines.
Starting with the standard offering, it's great for caching least accessed data. I usually ccache all software builds on extra standard HDDs. They're remarkably cheap per disk access and letting Azure manage it reduces the cost for on-premises deployment and management. The SSDs though are the real deal. Fast software development leaves plenty of time to focus on what matters the most (bugs bashing, improving and implementing features, etc).
They're costly. If you can squeeze out the resources for SSD, it is awesome. Otherwise you're pretty much stuck with their standard offering. Trust me, the lower tier is only good for storage, that's it. Also, you're pretty much limited with the size selection. HDDs allow variable disk size. I guess having variable size for higher tiers will make it more cost effective and ensuring only the amount required is allocated and deployed.
We mostly automate software builds on our virtual machines powered by the Azure managed disk storage. Our code is stored on SSDs while any local caching is performed on the standard tier. I know this causes a little bottleneck but most software changes (such as releases) usually require a complete clean build.
The following are the few points which I like the most about this tool: - Highly customizable - Easy to Use - Easy to Setup, provided the user needs to go through the steps available on its website ( just during the first attempt. ) - Highly Secure
The most important thing which I don't like about this product is its cost, it is expensive and cheaper alternatives are available in the market. Another point which could be improved is its user interface, for a beginner it could be difficult to remember all the sub options available.
We deploy our product on the Azure Linux Virtual Machines and offer these machines for development/testing purposes to all the members of our team. This product plays an important role in achieving Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment.
I like the authenticating and managing access the software provides to keep containers secure.
I thought the training function was lacking.
We have used Azure to integrate our cloud based applications to all employees.
I have used it for our Postgres database and would surely say that it is one of the best deal out there .No hassle,pretty advance options,timely automatic backups,you don't need to install bloatwares on your system ,the cloud based services helps a lot
The transfer of your on premise services to cloud is tricky
Managing our postgres data is pretty smooth now
Before using Azure for PostgreSQL, I am sure an architect or developer has already done some research and chosen PostgreSQL for some reasons. PostgreSQL is open source making it an easy choice for many researchers or low budget development. It is one of the most advanced databases, and has for sure stood the test of time. It has a great community that supports and maintains its integrity. Azure Database for PostgreSQL is simply the deployment of PostgreSQL database on the Azure cloud. It's as simple as logging onto the Azure database portal and creating a new PostgreSQL database instance. You can add database owners, and set up security procedures for your database.
PostgreSQL is a relational database, and if you are storing data as documents or objects it might be more efficient performance-wise to use a No SQL database such as MongoDB.
Open source database used to store customer requirements.
Azure Container Registry provides an Azure-native container and all the Azure security / access control features comes with it, which is very handy when managing Enterprise-y applications.
There is a little bit of a learning curve if you are inexperienced with containers and Azure, but after you've got the basics things start to get more straightforward. If you are experienced with Azure CLI, you will find it more intuitive.
Azure Container Registry provides a robust way to implement microservices and experiment with containerised applications through Azure Container Instances. It became quicker and more reliable to deploy and test our applications.
I liked the simplicity of adding your VMS to availability sets then being able to easily target and set health probes and rules to the selected VM's
The inability to add an existing VM to an availability set
I am testing how to evenly distribute work on a set of virtual servers.
No need to setup a server and install software. Service runs as expected.
Tiered performance levels leave some interesting issue to troubleshoot at lower levels, bit can easily be upgraded.
Database as a Service in Azure. No need for server setup, configuration, and maintenance.
