Cloud Administrator at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cloud migration has reduced hardware dependency and supports secure global access to apps
The best features Microsoft Azure offers are cloud scalability, virtual machines, storage, networking, security, monitoring, and identity management. Scalability is the most valuable to our organization because Microsoft Azure allows businesses to scale resources up or down based on workload demand. This helps manage traffic spikes without buying permanent hardware. Virtual machines are also valuable as Microsoft Azure provides cloud-based Windows and Linux virtual machines to run applications, servers, and workloads. Identity and Access Management is important, as the integration with Microsoft Entra ID helps manage user authentication, role-based access, and MFA. For example, employees access business apps securely using single sign-on. Backup and disaster recovery are also important because they provide automated backups and failover options to ensure business continuity. Microsoft Azure positively impacts my organization by reducing infrastructure dependency, improving availability, and enabling remote access. Teams can access applications globally without on-premises server dependency, and in terms of cost, it is very low-cost.

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

"The user interface is very nice and makes everything easy to use."
"As a software data center, we can put some pretty cool applications running there."
"Reduces work for our IT teams and saves us a lot of time."
"When configured and planned well, I think it's a very good product."
"The performance of Azure DevOps services is really impressive."
"Much more intuitive and more visual than AWS. More obvious where things are and how to change their configurations, etc."
"It is easy to deploy."
"It is a stable solution because it depends on the workload you expect. Based on that data, you can configure how many users it can handle."
"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."
"The initial setup process is more accessible than one of its competitors."
 

Cons

"The response time and stability of Microsoft Azure need to be improved."
"I would like to see better policy-based management and everything related to security management could have been better integrated."
"The management portal can be confusing sometimes. We have difficulty navigating the menus because the terminology is unclear, especially when referring to the content or actionable items."
"The technical support is good, but the response time is poor."
"Sometimes performance takes a hit on a slow network."
"There were some stability issues."
"The pricing could be better."
"I find that in many cases it's more expensive than AWS, and for no good reason."

"The solution needs to provide a bigger portfolio of services. The solution could use more advanced monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Azure is expensive."
"It is affordable, but its subscription price could be cheaper."
"We pay our bill in a monthly or 6 monthly billing cycle. The cost depends on how much you use during the period."
"It is not cheap. Its price could be a little bit less."
"There is a license for the solution."
"As of now, there are no monthly or yearly subscription fees."
"It is similar to AWS, where it is on-demand and is billed monthly."
