Microsoft Azure Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Easy understanding in technical terms, so administrations activities are not much complicated

Need more cost optimzation to be done by the teams.

Integration of Active Directory

Azuree gives us some additional insight into our environment that I personally have not seen with any other vendor. Any aspect of Microsoft integrated into our environment can be managed from Azure

There is a bit of a learning curve, something I have found to be common withing the Microsoft suite. If you are able to adapt, you will have a fantastic experience.

It is allowing us to blend our on prem alerting with our cloud alerting, allowing for an all in one experience with Microsoft that we have grown very fond of. Cant beat it.

Fully managed, right from fast writing/reading to core scaling to backups everything is natively built with strong native security. The best thing is the ability to scale UP/Down as demanded by application.

Nothing as such. You get a fully managed server database server with the best in class feature. However, there is further scope to integrate with Ai enabled reporting to figure out optimum deployability.

Managing databases at scale is costly. Azure SQL database embeds all the needed dB features into a seamless fully integrated machine enabling ease to integrate, operate and scale at fraction of cost when the management is self.

I can easily monitor database resource health on Azure app

I cannot execute sql query directly on powershell. Need to learn powershell in order to perform operation. Not as straightforward like MySQL.

Mainly just scalability as if storage space is running out we can get alert also.

Earlier, we were using the SQL database on our servers, that time we were managing all the stuff like permissions, access policies and networking with multiple platforms which was taking too much time to manage all the things. By using Azure SQL Database that issue has been resolved.

I don't have seen any issue with Azure SQL Database, but yes I can say the costing is very high. Also Azure provide the Pay-as-you-go modal so that we can manage the costing easily.

The managing of the Infrastructure, Networking, Access policies with the different platforms has been resolved with Azure SQL Database as it provides everything in one place.

It has many features for fixing issues that could otherwise not be changed in the backend for M365 UI; having the option to run a PowerShell window and tie-ins to resolve matters is terrific!

The UI could use some improvement to help people find the correct settings window; it can take quite some time to locate the correct window for the proper application.

We can clone users' security and distribution lists by running a script that makes it far easier to set up new hires. We also use Azure to sync with our AD and run VMs for employees to develop on.

The best part about Azure SQL DATABASE service is a top class database which provided by Microsoft. It is the best service for managing and maintaining database which is easy to use and will be available in a given budget.

Sometimes it takes much time to retrieve the data from the database and because of that we can't respond to the query in time.

We have a large amount of data that we set into the SQL database where it takes a lot of time to set that but Azure SQL DB took very less time to setup everything for our production environment.

It is one of the leading platforms in the market to work on cloud services. It gives all three types IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS. One can use azure for work on various IT technologies.

UI of this platform can be enhanced and be worked upon to keep it easy and minimalist. Apart from that, there is no particular point to be disliked. Azure keeps upgrading its services every now and then.

Our team widely works upon data analysis and storage. We store and commit our program files in azure containers to achieve a backup and desired secure space to keep them.

There are many things that I like about Azure Database, but one of the things that I appreciate the most is the ease of use. The Azure Database portal is very user-friendly and makes it easy to manage my databases. I also like the fact that Azure Database is highly scalable and can be easily scaled up or down to meet my needs. Overall, I am very pleased with Azure Database and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cloud-based database solution.

There are a few things that I dislike about Azure Database. First, it can be expensive. Second, it can be difficult to set up and manage. Third, it can be slow.

Azure SQL Database is solving the problem of managing and storing data in the cloud. This is beneficial to you because it means that you can access your data from anywhere, and you don't have to worry about losing it if something happens to your computer.

Azure SQL is helpful and easy to access database. I liked its easiness.

I didn't see any thing to dislike as much as I used it.

It makes accessing database easy especially for beginners.

Cost-effective. Eliminates hardware costs Less maintenance Low latency

Windows authentication is not available in the Azure-SQL Also will be helpful if extended stored-procedures and also the table partitioning been added

Azure SQL service has dedicated teams which focuses mainly to ensure the protection of the data centers, hardware, and services. Helpful in easy migration.

Very, very scalable and easy to build reliable cloud apps with. Also reliable and secure enough to store userbase login details on. If you pick up SQL once, it's easy to use.

New hires require dedicated training to learn Azure SQL DB if not trained already. Although there aren't any competitors that are any simpler. Relational databases are inherently limited in capability too.

Takes away the headache of hosting a DB instance yourself. We used Azure SQL DB for deploying our ecommerce app. Both our user and product data live on it and we haven't had any problems.

What is like most of Azure SQL database is that it is effortless to deploy and maintain. The cloud offering takes away the need for the infrastructure and physical servers. SQL database comes with high reliability, advanced security and scalability. Overall its a great service offering.

Azure SQL database is a great product and nothing to dislike

At Quest, we are using the Azure SQL database for creating and managing the backend repository for the Erwin Data Intelligence tool. It is very easy to login into the Azure portal and create an SQL database instance. Azure SQL cloud service comes with the backup and snapshot feature that allows us to quickly stand up an instance using the backup in cases of data loss. It is easily scalable by adding additional storage and rezise of the database.

I think the best part about using Azure is the fact that it is versatile and all the required functions fit in well.

basically nothing. The integrations are really good, and all functions are covered.

Automation - pipelines. code reviews & quality - with pull requests and automatic deployments & releases

Microsoft Azure is a cloud based software application to manage the Large amount of data. It provides a wide range of services to store large amount of data and can be used for data analytics

Azure provides very reliable storage service as Amazon Web Services (AWS) provided. Azure is chargeable per minute basis , it's costly than AWS.

Microsoft Azure is very secure and fast. It is flexible and more integrated. It has solved the analytical problems and made easier to use the cloud based computing.

Azure allows organizations to customize the cloud software to meet business requirement.

Cost compared to other service provider is bit high.

Azure provides services more secured way easy and customizable configuration based on requirements or bussiness needs.

Serverless Computing, On demand scalability, Integration of pipeline

For beginners cost of some services is high who are trying to learn and explore Azure.

Move data from on-premise to cloud and CI/CD using Azure Pipeline deployment.

Microsoft Azure is one stop solution for cloud storage any format of file to buying licence for embedding or for app registrations. Azure allows to create security groups for maintaining active directory groups for an organization to maintain security. It even provides ETL tool named Azure Data Factory.

Azure costs almost for each and every service it provides. And the cost shoots up like anything if proper precaution are not taken.

It reolved the licensing issue for Power BI embedding. It even helped to lift amd shift SSIS packages from on prem to cloud and to maintain security groups for sharing content.

Index recommendations, hot queries detection, flexibility to switch between vCore and DTU based, sharding support.

No such bad experience though I would recommend maybe better at DTU based model for IO operations as most of the time we felt the database is underutilized.

It helps to maintain our application data securely but at the same time making it better for faster retrieval and cheaper when compared with a private cloud hosting model.

Interface is the best and it is very user friendly

Could be a little more prompt. The ribbons are a bit cluttered.

It's making my work easier to handle and it gives me comfort

Azure provides with flexibility to test the functionality realted to newly introduced cloud concepts with free subscription membership, which makes us to utilize the functionality in Azure by having a sample prototype.

Azure related articles are hard to find and to understand, more demo videos can be provided in Azure portal for better understating. Also comments can be provided for completing certification.

Helps in resolving client needs in shorter span of time and also helps to understand cloud concepts in a better way. Free subsciption provided in Azure helps in using demo version of every functionality.

It's hassle-free service is top notch.Azure is having many services and each service will be launched with in short time and accurate as well. More over Azure will amaze it's customers with updated services.

Nothing much negative and no dislike about Azure. I liked it more than any other cloud provider

We use Azure for our Java project and is deployed in pods using kubernetes and azure provided use the best infrastructure ever. All the services will be up 24/7 and it's customer service also much faster.

It gives us insights on how best i can explore do day to day activities,tasks, bugs, and product backlogs for the companies with the skills gained from the Microsoft azure platform.

I feel azure DevOps is a little lagging at times and hope so it will be fixed soon as the performance for deliver continuous integration and continuous deployment will improve.

It helps me in completing tasks, bugs, and product backlogs for the project and also helps me in delivering the task on time which makes the client quite happy with the progress of the project

Azure services and availability, uptime.

Pricing is also fine, but sometimes can't bare

It provides end to end integration and cloud providing us the zero down time and it also helps in getting the infra ready in short span.

Being a long time C# developer it was very easy to transition from using localized SQL Server databases run on servers we control to SQL Azure databases hosted in the cloud. It was very easy to setup using Visual Studio and connect to my app/code.

Setting permissions at the user level can be a bit more challenging than it is using local SQL databases, but once you figure it out and get up and running with the correct permissions everything works great. Cost wise, it's pretty expensive in comparison to self hosted instances, but that's the cost of managed instances.

We don't have to maintain any servers, patch them with security updates, or worry about power outages or downtime (mostly). It's nice to be able to develop our systems and let someone else maintain the backend integrity of them.

Microsoft Azure made me feel to do all my compant works easily. Right from Azure Directory and Azure Devops and everything related to Azure made my tasks simpler and User Friendly.

I dont have much dislike about Microsoft azure. I liked most of the features of Azure. It would still help me if Azure Devops can be much faster in Chrome, because i felt Edge has much faster and reliability in using.

Azure Directory, Azure Cloud and Azure Devops helps me in doing day to day activities in company. It helps me to solve tasks, bugs and user stories in an organized and well manner. This improves customer and business relationships and helps to track everything very well.

Azure provides the better hybrid cloud support compared to other cloud supporters. Azure also covers many tools, frameworks, services like AI, devops, security and so on.

Microsoft Azure should expertise in providing support and maintaining the server properly. The frequent unexpected charges for data transfer is one major problem with Microsoft Azure

At my initial stage of experience with azure, I see there is no reliable on other services which is not good as it will take time to resolve all issues, but now I can see Azure give its best in this aspect.

Now i m going to clear AZ-900 and i am loving azure as m going deep

Little beat confusing to learn disk attachment and directories

At first i was unable to use security group i learned that from microsoft site and its quiet easy

What's not to like! With Azure I have been able to set up tons of Software solutions and deploy reliable infraestructure very quickly. It has a lot of ready to use resources which makes every developer's life easier. Particularly I like VM resources, Event Hub and Azure Virtual Desktops.

It can be very expensive to have the best configuration for your resources. This is good when you are already a big company, but when you are a small to medium size IT company, it can be challenging to get money to afford the right configuration for your Azure Resources.

On Premise to Cloud migration. CI/CD solutions. Web hosting, easy to set up blob storage services. Platform integration is way more easy with Azure ready to use resources. I provide integration of monitoring services of radio stations for music industry metrics in Colombia and Azure has made my job extremly productive.

Microsoft Azure takes the hard work or configuring environments and setting up infrastructure so dev teams can focus on program delivery commitments. Certain products such as the bot framework give it an edge over AWS albeit a small one.

The billing department needs more streamlining and transparency along with making it easy for a customer to manage their billing without having to go through support for changing payments or removing payments when closing services.

Microsoft Azure is allowing developers to focus more on problem solving and delivering applications and content rather than spending time configuring environments and managing dependencies.
