One should consider the integration with Azure Active Directory ( /products/microsoft-entra-id-reviews ) for security purposes. If the cut and paste functionality can be improved, it would enhance usability. I rate Azure Bastion a nine, and I can recommend it to other users.

The only minor improvement I would suggest is the integration of AI features for connectivity issues. I rate the overall solution very highly. Overall, I had a very positive experience. I rate the overall solution on a scale of 1 to 10 as 10.
Whether Azure Bastion handles network latency and large-scale connections is irrelevant as it is not something that is valid because it is just used as a code for configurations. It would not be right to frame a question where one asks how HTML CSS handles the network connections because network connection, bandwidth, connectivity, and concurrent connections are areas that depend heavily on the infrastructure as opposed to the code. The area revolves around code matters, but infrastructure is the key component. As Azure Bastion is there to create the infrastructure, it is not valid to discuss whether it can handle network latency and large-scale connections. Azure Bastion is a secure tool. I have not seen any AI capabilities in the tool. People can create complex infrastructure and a hierarchy, but it all depends on how they organize their code and files. If they organize it the right way, the entire solution and the entire infrastructure would be smooth enough to be deployed with Azure Bastion. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
The product improved the security posture of our organization. We don’t have open ports and connect them to servers using it. We can carry out two-factor authentication to protect the devices with conditional access features. It would be nice to have a feature to copy and paste the files into servers. I rate the product a nine out of ten.
Azure Bastion has helped us save time and money. A traditional setup would take at least a day to build. However, the solution is up and running in 30 minutes. I rate it a nine out of ten. Documentation helps to solve a lot of complexity.

I rate the solution ten out of ten. We're delighted with the product; it does everything we need it to do, and it does it well. My advice to those considering the solution is to have a clear picture of your environment and use cases. Important questions include how many hours will the connection be working? Extra features depend on your specific requirements, and consulting with an architect over the implementation is a must, as it could become challenging otherwise.
I'd recommend it if you want to maintain security. You should not go over the internet for RDP and all similar things because that's not safe. There should also be data protection. If you are doing RDP from your system to any virtual machines, you can do x y z. If you type the mstsc command on your machine, there is an option to attach your local machine disk to the remote desktop. Data privacy should be there. Bastion should not allow you to copy any data from your local machine. You have to play around only within the network. Overall, I'd rate Bastion an eight out of ten. A little bit of modification is required, but the service is very good.

We're Microsoft partners. I'm not working as an administrator. I'm a consultant working with the IT company that is delivering Azure to our customers. I'm deploying Azure Bastion for the customers. I even give some knowledge transfer to the customer, the Azure administrator, to manage their virtual machine using Azure Bastion. If you have an Azure virtual machine, you have to use the Azure Bastion. We force the customers to use it and avoid mapping public IPs on the VMs. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We are Microsoft partners. I'd advise users to consider the solution. As a cloud product, physical servers are not required. It's very convenient that I can use it from my desktop or laptop. there is no dedicated device needed. The only thing that is required is an internet connection. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
Azure Bastion is a service you deploy that lets you connect to a virtual machine using your browser and the Azure portal. The Azure Bastion service is a fully platform-managed PaaS service that you provision inside your virtual network. It provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly from the Azure portal over TLS. When you connect via Azure Bastion, your virtual machines do not need a public IP address, agent, or special client software.
One should consider the integration with Azure Active Directory ( /products/microsoft-entra-id-reviews ) for security purposes. If the cut and paste functionality can be improved, it would enhance usability. I rate Azure Bastion a nine, and I can recommend it to other users.
