Microsoft Marketplace Reviews

I am currently using Microsoft Intune for endpoint management devices, and we are exploring different types of solutions for demonstration purposes. Because we are on a Microsoft tenant, we have a complete Microsoft product solution, and we are using Microsoft Intune.

I work with Microsoft Azure services and cloud services. The company has been using Microsoft since its start in 2005 or 2006. I joined this company almost two or three years ago.

We are using a private cloud for our devices, but in some locations, we have deployed a hybrid solution as well. In our office, we are using a private solution on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, while we have some on-premises environment as well, though we are not configured as hybrid.

Azure Marketplace's best features for us include the fact that we have a Microsoft solution, which is why we are using Microsoft Azure since we have all other applications such as Microsoft 365, Microsoft Intune, SharePoint, Teams, and all applications.

Azure Marketplace's interoperability with other Microsoft products is very important since Microsoft has a large number of products such as Microsoft 365, and within Microsoft 365, there are many applications we use such as SharePoint, Power Apps, and Power Automate. These applications integrate easily with Microsoft services, whether it is Azure or Azure DevOps, where we require some interface. Azure Marketplace could be better in this regard, though other cloud services are also good if we only deploy applications on the cloud side.

What could be improved about Azure Marketplace is that in the past, we have deployed applications on EC2 instances and Microsoft VMs using Azure. Currently, we are migrating to Azure Container App Services such as Container App Services or AKS in containerized form, as that is much better than using VMs in terms of cost. We are trying to move all our customer applications to Azure Container App Services as it is the best solution.

I have total experience around seven years in my current sphere, working with different environments such as Microsoft, AWS, and OTC, Open Telecom Cloud.

There were some difficulties when we deployed Azure Marketplace. It depends on the environment dependencies, such as what we are using on-premises and which type of network we have on-premises. When we configure it with a hybrid environment or deploy on Microsoft Azure, I see some issues, but it can definitely be done.

I assess Azure Marketplace's stability as an eight or nine.

I rate the scalability of the product as a nine.

The rating for technical support of Microsoft depends on the region or location. We are in the Asian region, and when we create tickets, we receive responses from India or the UAE, so it could be a six or seven. It definitely needs some improvement, though it depends on the region or location since we are in Asia, and Asian engineers need some improvements to provide more valuable support.

We are using Azure Marketplace for some applications, as we are a software house creating applications for our different subsidiaries. Those applications are running on Microsoft Azure and some are deployed on-premises.

It depends on the environment or applications that we are using, creating, or developing, and the location where these applications are running. According to the environment, we have to decide which type of service we have to use in Microsoft Azure, which is best for resilience or high priority, where there should be no issues facing downtime or such types of concerns.

I do not use Azure Marketplace's seamless integration with Azure. I am not directly involved in decision-making for detailed product listings and customer ratings on Azure Marketplace as it depends on the project management side. The project manager decides which service or requirement we have to meet, then they suggest or choose that service, and then we have the order to deploy that service on Azure.

I do not have any idea about the value of Azure Marketplace's curated partner solutions. I am overall satisfied with the pricing for Azure Marketplace as it is balanced. In some services, there is a cost, but overall, it is balanced.

My overall review rating for Azure Marketplace is nine.

I do work with solutions from other vendors, such as Microsoft Azure or AWS. Specifically, I am working with Azure Databricks and Synapse, along with Azure VMware and Azure Automation.

Azure Marketplace has significant benefits in terms of easy access and user-friendliness. If we want something, we could get it immediately, and if we don't have it, we can contact someone from the desk or the support.

It integrates easily with any Microsoft software with no issues.

Regarding the impact of Azure Marketplace tools and resources on my deployment efficiency, they help me to do it much faster.

The return on investment I see now is time because, instead of developing and gathering a lot of data resources, businesses literally just open a link and have everything instead of asking everyone to send them what they want.

The pricing is definitely something that could be improved. When I need to add a server or any service, I need to pay for it, so the pricing is something that requires improvement.

I have been working with Azure Marketplace for maybe two and a half to three years.

I do not need any assistance; I can do it by myself without help.

I would rate the technical support of Microsoft at six or seven out of ten, with ten being the highest.

Positive

I do not remember if I am currently using the ServiceNow platform, but I understand it was a while back that I downloaded reports on product ServiceNow.

The deployment does not take much time since everything is connected to DevOps, and we are using DevOps to deploy from one environment to another. It is just a matter of a couple of minutes, and I do not need to spend much time on it.

I am working with everything Microsoft, and I simply wanted to share my opinion on it. I am familiar with Azure solutions.

Since I am working with data, the client I am working with is using Microsoft. Since I am working with data, it helps because integrating the data from the different tools I have to Azure Cloud is essential. The final result is having a dashboard in Power BI, and either my team will develop it, or another team will develop it. The main thing is integrating data into Azure, so we can transform it to anything we want to.

It is important for me because everything is there, and we use it on a daily basis. I have been working with data for literally ten years.

After working with Azure Marketplace, it is easy to transform what we work on or my team to Power BI dashboards. My overall rating of Azure Marketplace is nine out of ten.

With detailed product listings and customer ratings on Azure Marketplace, the information is very helpful for decision-making.

This seamless integration is the fastest way to integrate, which helps business processes.

I use Azure Marketplace's seamless integration with Azure.

Azure Marketplace interoperability with other Microsoft products is very important for my organization's workflows.

It's one of the most important features in this case.

In terms of graphical interface, the pricing could be lower and more AI features could be added.

Regarding pricing, I think it's a little expensive.

I have been working with Azure Marketplace for seven to eight years.

When it comes to supporting this particular product, I rate Microsoft's technical support at eight because I think it's good.

Positive

When it comes to deployment of Azure Marketplace, I find it quite good.

It's quite easy to deploy with nothing complicated.

I work together with my team for Azure Marketplace installation.

It's the same amount of people, the same engineers.

For time frames needed to deploy Azure Marketplace, I usually spend one or two hours.

Regarding the beneficial features in Microsoft Marketplace and Azure Marketplace, there are many aspects to consider.

I think it's very sufficient now for Azure Marketplace.

I rated this solution a 7 out of 10 to differentiate it from my other ratings.

I have used Azure services and Microsoft services extensively. The service is really good. I appreciate the service because everything is provided through the GUI.

Customers are not completely aware of the services because we provide them directly. They are not fully aware of what kind of service we use behind the architecture. We have to decide what kind of architecture we will need to use, and they can just use the services that we deliver. They just wanted to know about the security. During that period, we highlighted that we used Azure and Microsoft security services or cloud services to Microsoft Cloud services to handle the security. They are not much aware of it, but they are happy with it.

The organization I worked with has a partnership with Microsoft.

I have worked eight years in Azure overall. My overall experience is 12 years, but I mostly work in Azure and Microsoft platforms. It has been good. Earlier it did not provide all the services in one platform, as AWS provided, but now I can see everything is more neat, clean, and handled in a more secure way in Azure Marketplace.

Because these are internal organization channels working on internal organization channels only, it is more secure as it is not publicly available. If there is no connection with the public, then no one can access outside the organizations, which makes it really secure.

I can see it is more costly than other services.

Everything is fine except for the price, which should be modified and lowered. Regarding technical support from Microsoft, they are actually responsive.

I have been using Azure Marketplace for approximately six years.

I would rate Azure Marketplace an eight out of ten.
