Microsoft Azure Reviews

The pros of using Windows Azure are- 1) Windows Azure Virtual Network which enables virtual private network creation for enterprise usage 2) Support for Python, PHP, JAVA, .NET 3) More focus on application deployment, rather than infrastructure 4) Provides an application interface built on REST, HTTP, and XML 5) Content Delivery Network

Few cons on Azure are- 1) Poor debugging and logging management for applications 2) Increased competition for development resources 3) Pricing 4) load balancing causes interruption in many of the stateful applications

Windows Azure is a cloud computing platform from Microsoft for running windows applications and working with data on the cloud. It is based on the architecture of HyperV and windows fail over clustering to support redundant instances of application with zero downtime. It's built to quickly deploy application with .NET, JAVA, SQL, Python, and other cloud services. It works on the combination of SQL, azure, and AppFabric, along with other cloud services.

-Windows Azure is available in multiple data centers around the world, enabling you to deploy your applications close to your customers. - Its enables you to use any language, framework, or tool to build applications. Features and services are exposed using open REST protocols. -Windows Azure’s distributed caching and CDN services, allow you to reduce latency and deliver great application performance anywhere in the world. -Giving power back to the users to concentrate on the application and take away all their worries from the hosting and provisioning point of view.

-Systems mirroring is currently not available within Azure, unlike Amazon Web Services. -Lose account control to MS. -MS has calibrations to compute how much you used them, and how you plan to validate it.

The Windows Azure platform, which provides a range of functionality to build applications that span from consumer web to enterprise scenarios, includes a cloud service operating system and a set of developer services. With Windows Azure there are at least two instances of each role that the application needs and therefore, the Fabric controller load balances users’ requests between them. What this means is that there is no guarantee two requests from the same user will go to the same instance. This may be a problem with some applications that need a stateful connection with the user. A stateful connection is one in which some information about a connection between two systems is retained for future use.

Yet another powerful and reliable product from Microsoft. Windows Azure is a very reliable cloud computing platform, coupled with Microsoft data centers. More positives are that it can be used with non-Microsoft based data centers. It is fast and secure. It stands first among all other cloud platform providers.

Microsoft is not an innovator for this cloud computing platform. Still some of its products, like Dynamics GP 2013 online, are not compatible with iPad, iPhone, and some Android based devices.

I love Microsoft's products because they are simple yet powerful and secure.

We used Microsoft Azure mainly for repositories and management.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is its ease of use.

Microsoft Azure could improve by being more secure.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately two years.

Microsoft Azure is a stable solution.

The company that I am working for had 100 users using Microsoft Azure.

I did not implement the solution myself, another team in my company did it.

I would recommend Microsoft Azure to others, it is a good solution.

I rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

On-premises

With Microsoft Azure, you can replace internal IT infrastructure platforms, and you can create new cloud-driven software developments.

Microsoft Azure is a large cloud computing platform. It's a large cloud service for Microsoft that is built on top of tens of thousands of services.

I would like to see it more easily accessible.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for two years.

We are using the latest version.

It is cloud software, and as such, it's not stable. Cloud software evolves quickly, but there are not a lot of new features.

The software is stable for the moment, but there is an ongoing development of the software that is creating several features. It is fine as it is.

Microsoft Azure is built for scalability. It's perfect.

We have 60 users in our company who use Microsoft Azure.

We plan, to increase the number of users. All of our colleagues will be working with the software in the future.

We use Teams for Virtual meetings.

As a cloud solution, there is no installation.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering using it.

I would rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

We are using Microsoft Azure for hosting our applications in a secure environment. We are using AI and machine learning models.

Microsoft Azure has been easy to use in my experience.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately two years.

Microsoft Azure is stable.

We have approximately 50 people using the solution in my organization.

The local support is fair but it is sometimes limited, the service could be better.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I am able to do the implementation of the solution.

We have some system engineers and developers that manage the solution.

The price of the solution could be cheaper in general. We are on a monthly subscription to the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azurean eight out of ten.

Some features of Azure are very important for us. You can control access for your company, it's not complicated managing the solution either. I think the solution is very stable, secure and the documentation Microsoft has on their website is complete. You can use it to find the solution's problems or implement solutions. 

An issue I encountered was around the integration of Identity. I lost some important information and I would like to see improvements with this. 

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately 2 years now

Azure is very easy to manage

We are a Microsoft partner and implement in-house.

The pricing depends on the solutions I want to use, but I think the price is good because there are many free features in the solution. If you need something more advanced, like Azure AD Premium, you have other features available like risk management.

I would rate Azure a nine out of ten.

I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately three years.
