"Azure Is A Powerful Tool!"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft Azure PostgreSQL gives users the freedom to build, manage, and deploy applications easily and with very little or no investment. I like the ability to choose between Word press and other popular for launching websites.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

It's kind of hard if you don't have any previous experience coding and stuff. I got to the part where I tried to upload my free SSL certificate to my website, and I couldn't get it figured out even with a really good tutorial online.

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

I'm not really sure I solving any business problems with it. I mainly just use it for personal. I've got 2 websites on the Azure platform, And I ran out of free space Commerce or haven't been in there in I while but there is tons of Apps and software if your website builder to play with common in they give you a pretty generous amount of space, In a fully customizeable dashboard, which is fun.

"Excellent for quickly deploys"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

It's a powerful tool, easy to use and to create your virtual machine. You can deploy your web service very quickly and scale it when it needs it. The docs are easy to read and very complete. In case that you have any doubt you can solved it reading its doc available on the website,

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The only con is not related to the tool itself, it's related to the Azure console that it's a bit complex and slow. This console is shared with all the Azure tools, it needs an improved

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

We need to deploy a web service with the ability to scale when it needs it. This tool was the best option after test other ones. We can do it very quickly and with few efforts.

"Perfect for the Azure ecosystem"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The ACR service is fantastic for hassle free integrations with other Azure services, such as AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service). No need to worry about third party integrations, simply link a service principal from your app and you're good to go.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Some of the documentation is scattered but this has gotten better as the platform has matured more.

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

The ability to deploy many private Docker images is paramount is application and service development and the speed to market has been greatly increased with Azure Container Registry.

"Reliable and easy to use service. "
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

I have used many other similar services but Azure keep advanced options while keeping a simple flow to use it. The monitoring tools that you can add to the platform are also very well thought through and help to sport issues very fast.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

They could add a Database access like PgMyAdmin. But this it not a major issue as you can easily collect with other tools. I am guessing it keeps the over security higher as well.

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

We are a web agency that is making a platform for a client that insisted on us using Azure. Would not normally use it due to the higher price but glad I got the chance as you can see the positive side to why it more expensive.

"Azure Storage Explorer - An effective tool for Azure cloud storage management"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

It is very easy to install on the desktop machine and performs a lot of operations related to Azure storage. Managing storage accounts is a lot simpler with the use of Azure Storage Explorer. Being a DBA, I use the snapshot feature a lot and this tool is very efficient while managing snapshots. The Azcopy works just well and is a time savior.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

No cons available for the tool. Microsoft is working hard with the product and release bi weekly updates with bug fixes as well.

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

The storage explorer has given the ability perform copy/delete/modify files and folders from the blobs effectively which has resulted in increased productivity. The level of nesting it offers while looking at a particular file and its properties, was missing in Azure portal.

"Azure Virtual Machines for Scalability and Customization"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Virtual machines on Azure cloud gives are a lot easier to deploy with step by step process to follow. It gives you custom sizes to choose from which helps save time. The Hybrid license feature save about 40% of the cost of the Virtual Machine much used in our environment. Machines can be scheduled to turn off per requirement.which is highly cost effective.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

No issues with the Virtual Machine deployment and IAAS services.The product is going good.

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

We are moving our existing VM from Hyper V to Azure cloud in order to save cost of management and Infrastructure. All new deployments are taking place at Azure Cloud and are kept in the resource groups having scheduled turn off cycles.
