Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"It's very easy to use. That's one of the advantages for the business, that you don't need to struggle to configure your website and your app service. Microsoft made sure to make it stable and very easy to configure." "The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far." "The product is scalable." "Overall, all of the features are very good." "Azure data factory is a good tool." "It's a platform as a service, so we don't have to manage the infrastructure to hold the websites." "Debugging using Application Insights is a valuable feature." | "The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability." "We haven't had any issues with stability so far." "I'm not sure what the most valuable aspect of the solution is, but I can say that their finance and auditing systems are quite impressive. You can audit in different invoices right to procurement. It's all quite seamless." "Features they are integrating to the other services." "The most valuable feature is ease of use." "The product is pretty responsive." "The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect." |
Cons | |
"Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal." "I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use." "The solution is quite expensive. If you need more features, you need to pay for them." "I am new to the intervention and I find it difficult to find my way around the user interface. I have my own learning tool. However, it could be simpler for new users." "Lacking somewhat in template data flows." "The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side." "Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux." | "The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows." "I would like to have integration with Google." "The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors." "They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way" "The marketing automation needs improvement." "Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more." "If you have resellers or distributors, you just need to figure out a way to set up the system in the backend. Since every company is different, it takes a little bit of time to figure that out." "The initial setup is rather complex." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services." "Less than USD $100 per month." "We have no complaints about the pricing." | "It is an expensive program." |
