Versatile integrations and reliable customer satisfaction elevate cloud service experience
For Microsoft Azure improvement, they need to enhance their support system. The first level of support should be improved in terms of quality and response time. They need more technical support at the first level, as there are currently only one or two technical people among five to ten staff members at this level. They should ensure that the first level support is more technical because we normally provide services to technical users ourselves. When an issue arises, it usually escalates to the second or third level. When facing first level support, they may have limited knowledge and only collect screenshots to forward to their seniors. They should ensure that the first level support is aligned with L2 and L3 to better assist us, especially since we mention in the ticket that our issues are related to specific problems and require that sort of support.

Performance and availability of services need improvement
NTT Cloud needs to analyze feature offerings from AWS and Azure. Additionally, they should do marketing and be more vocal about the services. They should further ensure the availability of the services as well. I rate NTT Cloud a three out of ten. In comparison, AWS and Azure are easier to fit into the environment in terms of reliability.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to use. It is also stable."
"The integration with Databricks is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Access Management and the PIN modules."
"The benefit of this integration in Microsoft Azure is that it is very flexible and beneficial to users, bridging internal integration, all kinds of applications, databases, and services such as Entra and other tools."
"I have found all the features to be good."
"We use the solution to manage and secure my users' email for the Active Directory."
"Great features at a good price."
"The data factory feature."
"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great. For example, if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner. Solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer this level of service."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
 

Cons

"Dashboards and reporting could be improved."
"It would be nice to have faster support."
"The process by which our customers can switch from one subscription to another should be simplified."
"I would like to see it more easily accessible."
"It would be beneficial if Microsoft could enhance the free version to allow for more exploration and development. That's my only suggestion regarding Azure."
"There are so many services available that the interface is a little bit messy, and when you're looking for a specific service, you have to know exactly where to search."
"There should be more language options for the Azure Functions apps. It supports programming languages, but there are only a few options. It could have more programming languages."
"The platform should be available at the same price worldwide."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
"The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs for Enterprise are on an annual basis."
"I would like to see it more easily accessible."
"The cost is a little high and can be more competitive."
"It is important to consider ROI when looking at the cost of a subscription."
"The license cost could be reduced."
"Everything involves an annual commitment with a monthly charge."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"The current pricing is on a pay-as-you-go subscription."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
