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.

Good stability and scalability with excellent additional services
The features that are on offer are pretty standard. 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 solution has quite good documentation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All services in the cloud are easy to set up, the services are ready to use from the outset."
"Everything is very good by way of performance."
"It's a scalable product, because it's a cloud service, there is an infinite opportunity for scaling."
"It provides a great ROI."
"Stability is straightforward"
"We have installed many competitive products, such as Appigee and IBM, but Microsoft Azure is the easiest one to install."
"Microsoft Azure provides a valuable Data Factory, particularly for analytics."
"Easy and fast provisioning of Cloud Services including Web sites, Virtual Machines and Databases."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
"The pricing and services that surround the solution are great, and if we need to find a partner in a country where they do not have a cloud, they will help us find that partner, which is a level of service that solutions such as Amazon and Oracle do not offer."
 

Cons

"Integrate as a service. A lot of Microsoft software licensing options aren’t yet in Azure. Also, the ability to integrate with other technologies, such as other options on the market based on RISC Technologies."
"The initial setup is quite complex because of the number of options that are available."
"Microsoft is not an innovator for this cloud computing platform."
"Sometimes technical support is not as fast as I needed on the first call, but once they are engaged, it is really easy to get an answer."
"There were also a lot of constraints with the serverless parts."
"There is a need to be better on-premise solutions that are more helpful."
"At times, the support is terrible."
"Something that could be added to the solution is the use of deep learning, which is going to grow in the near future."
"The solution needs to provide a bigger portfolio of services. The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
"NTT Cloud’s performance could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Microsoft Azure overall is an expensive solution."
"The pricing model can be improved because we find that Azure pricing is a bit high."
"Customers pay for our software and use our solution as a service through monthly payments. They don't pay the licensing fee directly to Microsoft."
"I believe that we have a three-year license, and I'm happy with the pricing."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive and the pricing model could be less confusing."
"With adequate knowledge, I think you can come up with a good model where the pricing won't be a constraint."
"All cloud services are expensive."
"I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
