Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."
"I like a lot of features. For example, the Windows virtual solution has helped in such a way that our client-based application was converted into a web-based version through the use of the Windows Virtual Desktop."
"Installation is easy as it's cloud-based. Performance is good. It's stable and scalable."
"The solution is secure and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is that it is easy to use."
"It's been pretty useful in terms of migration and disaster recovery strategy."
"We use the cognitive service, virtual machines, and customer DB. Microsoft Azure is also scalable and easy to install."
"The tool's most valuable features are SQL servers and Managed Instance databases."
"We are satisfied with the technical support."
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."
"The integration pipeline could be a bit more broad in terms of applications."
"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."
"It would be nice if there was an on-premises version of the solution, and it wasn't just cloud-based."
"The solution could use mutual segmentation for servers. It would be ideal if you could constitute something like five or 15 groups among the groups of different computers inside Azure."
"The pricing in our region can be a bit high."
"Maybe Microsoft could improve its monitoring around the networking."
"There is a need to be better on-premise solutions that are more helpful. However, I don't think that is the goal of Microsoft Azure. They want the solution to be secure cloud solutions with cloud applications. This is their main goal at the moment."
"They are a bit closed on the customization side. If they open the customization then it will be very good."
