Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."It's set up to handle any cloud requirement."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is the Area feature. Additionally, the SQL Server DB as a serverless pool is useful, storage-wide external tables are helpful, and PolyBase is very good at reading external data. The capacity of Synapse to analyze in analytics is very good and it supports a range of data."
"The most valuable feature is the interface."
"We find that it is easy to integrate with other Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Office."
"The data factory feature."
"We've found the solution to be extremely flexible."
"The application services are the most valuable in Microsoft Azure. I'm not using them directly but I am using the function and the web applications. I don't need to pay a lot for the maintenance. I do not need to have a DevOps employee."
"It is a very straightforward solution that provides a wide range of services."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by being more user-friendly and the interface could be better."
"The initial setup can be improved."
"The solution could be easier to use. However, when comparing it to AWS it is a bit easier."
"Scalability is definitely in need of improvement. Azure is a very good solution but it still lacks the performance of other cloud platforms."
"The solution should be more intuitive and provide better support. We often do not receive frequent updates or comprehensive support, even as partners."
"Microsoft's technical support could be improved."
"Microsoft Azure can be pretty advanced and difficult to understand. I would like it to be simplified. The licensing especially needs to be simplified."
"Dashboards and reporting could be improved."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"It would be beneficial for the QuickBase team to focus on improving the integration of cloud-based storage platforms within their product. In use cases like ours, where QuickBase serves as a centralized source of truth for construction projects, having seamless integration with platforms like Dropbox or OneDrive would greatly enhance the product's capabilities."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
