One significant benefit is the ability to have direct control over our infrastructure. Unlike before, where we relied on Rackspace for tasks like resizing VMs and managing databases, having hands-on access to our own products within Azure has proven to be a highly favorable aspect. Our organization's overall security posture has significantly improved. While we encountered various challenges with Rackspace, the transition to Azure, particularly with Azure Bastion, has provided us with a more secure means of accessing our VMs. This has been a substantial improvement, not only in terms of security but also in cost management. The move to Azure has saved us money compared to the nickel-and-dime expenses associated with Rackspace support. Troubleshooting and issue resolution have become more efficient. Previously, a task that might have taken an hour over the phone with Rackspace can now be accomplished in just five to ten minutes. The streamlined process has notably improved our workload and task completion times.
