We compared Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: When comparing Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS, Azure is praised for its manageable setup, support, and documentation. It offers a wide range of features, an intuitive interface, and strong integration with other Microsoft solutions. However, it may be challenging for beginners and lacks user-friendliness in certain aspects. On the other hand, AWS provides quick deployment, extensive features, and strong integration capabilities. Users appreciate its scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. However, some users find AWS pricing to be high and suggest improvements in areas like user interface, security, and billing.
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the S3."
"The installation and initial setup are easy."
"It's very stable and the performance is good."
"We use AWS for multiple purposes, such as developing APIs and API integration using API Gateway. We use API Gateway, Python Combinator, Lambda Glue, and ETL Process. We have used EMR for big data processing. If we need a tool for computing, we go with the Lamda DMS. There are many services available in AWS that meet our needs."
"Stable platform with a straightforward setup. It's user-friendly, with more reliable servers compared to the competition."
"In general, Amazon's performance is good."
"I am very impressed by the solution's stability."
"The product is nice and stable. Its performance is great."
"I have not had a problem with the stability. It is reliable."
"Being able to set up, change and configure VMs is easy - a lot easier than in AWS."
"It's a cloud-based application, so installation is straightforward and doesn't take much time."
"There are several products within Azure."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Access Management and the PIN modules."
"It has multiple features that can be used from the start."
"It is easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is its ease of use."
"As a result of the competency, I believe that most people are now leaning toward Azure rather than AWS."
"Amazon AWS could be improved by lowering the general storage price."
"The interface is relatively complex."
"Amazon AWS should integrate AI capabilities."
"A person with no AWS experience might find it overwhelming at first."
"When I try to enter the multi-cloud, they provide very poor support. Support is a concern with Amazon."
"Faster API response times and an improved console experience would be better. Enhanced performance across APIs and the console would streamline our workflows."
"An integrated platform would make it easier for administrators to monitor and manage."
"Could be more user friendly; initial setup is difficult to understand."
"The subscriptions are complicated."
"With Microsoft, our only concern is exchange rates because we're paying in dollars. It's very expensive for us because of the exchange rates. It would help if they partnered with someone locally so we can pay in our local currency."
"The price of the Azure license could be cheaper."
"A good strategy would be to include a feature for integrating with external ecosystems."
"Maybe Microsoft could improve its monitoring around the networking."
"They can improve the number of requests. Maybe they can increase it from 5,000 requests to 10,000 requests a month. Sometimes when you try to connect, it is quite unresponsive. When you want to communicate using the API, you get an internal error."
"Microsoft Azure can improve by adding more features for virtual machines, such as tier virtual machines."
