Microsoft Azure Reviews

I'm working on cloud-based systems and I'm using Microsoft Azure for storage and for other purposes.

The most valuable features I have found to be the auto-scaling feature and the interface.

Microsoft Azure could improve by being more user-friendly and the interface could be better.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for approximately six years.

I have not contacted support.

I have previously used Amazon AWS.

The installation of Microsoft Azure is straightforward.

I did the implementation of the solution.

The cost of the solution could be reduced. However, I am using the free version.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

We use it to host virtual machines and migrate new web applications to the cloud.

With Microsoft Azure, we have a platform that lets us easily deploy applications to the cloud.

They should create integrations with more platforms.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for a couple of years.

It enables great scalability.

We are satisfied with the support from Microsoft.

It was quite easy to setup.

The current pricing is on a pay-as-you-go subscription.

We are using this solution to provide backend services to our customers. I am not very technical but we are using the document and storage services of Azure.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

I have found Microsoft Azure to be stable. We have large corporate customers and it is working great.

This solution is highly scalable and this is one of the main reasons why we are using it. 

In our organization, we have five administrators using the solution. We are providing services to a few thousand clients on Azure infrastructure and we plan to increase usage.

The technical support has been very responsive in dealing with our issues.

The price of the solution could be cheaper.

Before we used this solution we evaluated other cloud platforms, such as Google and Amazon. We choose Azure due to data policy reasons.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure a ten out of ten.

It is a very easy-to-use platform, and it is very powerful in terms of data backup and Blob storage. It has very good features, especially if you are using Microsoft products, such as Windows, Microsoft SQL Server.

They should optimize their pricing so that we can use more features. I would also like to see more auditing and more security for the Blob storage feature.

From a technical point, it has very good features for Microsoft products, but for non-Microsoft products, it may have some limitations. I have mostly worked with Windows-based integration, and now I am trying to use it for open-source systems. It is good but not as easy as Microsoft products.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is a stable product, but it also depends on the configuration.

It is very scalable.

It is quite straightforward.

Its price should be optimized so that we can use more features.

I would rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten because my environment is Windows-based. For a non-Microsoft environment, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Everything we have is hosted on Azure, include our email, as well as applications that we use like SharePoint and Office 365.

The most valuable feature is the single sign-on with multifactor authentication. Our staff uses an accounting system, they visit different bank sites, and the sales team uses Salesforce We want to be able to access all of these things with a single sign-on. In total, there are more than 50 sites. We are still evaluating this and it is not in production, yet.

The cost of Microsoft Azure could be lowered.

The subscription licensing is very complex and we would like to have it simplified.

The ease of configuration and use should be improved.

We have been using Azure for about four years.

Azure is quite stable.

I would say that this solution is scalable.

Technical support for Exchange and Sharepoint is quite good. Their response time is really good.

The initial setup is not complex.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

With Microsoft Azure, you can replace internal IT infrastructure platforms, and you can create new cloud-driven software developments.

Microsoft Azure is a large cloud computing platform. It's a large cloud service for Microsoft that is built on top of tens of thousands of services.

I would like to see it more easily accessible.

I have been using Microsoft Azure for two years.

We are using the latest version.

It is cloud software, and as such, it's not stable. Cloud software evolves quickly, but there are not a lot of new features.

The software is stable for the moment, but there is an ongoing development of the software that is creating several features. It is fine as it is.

Microsoft Azure is built for scalability. It's perfect.

We have 60 users in our company who use Microsoft Azure.

We plan, to increase the number of users. All of our colleagues will be working with the software in the future.

We use Teams for Virtual meetings.

As a cloud solution, there is no installation.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering using it.

I would rate Microsoft Azure a nine out of ten.

Microsoft Azure is an directory and identity management solution in the cloud, similar to an access gateway.

It has enable me to secure our office 365 tenant

Multifactor authentication, cloud App security. The features are easy to manage within the cloud application, has good performance, and is secure.

The solution could improve by being more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

The solution is stable.

very good

The technical support has been responsive but sometimes the agent does not have the knowledge required for the proper immediate assistance.

we are previously using Hosted Exchange. We migrated in other to take advantage of rich collaborative features of o365

Initial setup was straightforward. Migration managed with out issue

In -house

95%

We are on an annual subscription. However, there are other options available.

The smooth operation of the solution depends on the ability of the administrator. How the infrastructure is deployed overall and how it is optimized.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure an eight out of ten.

We have been using it to modernize customers' environments. We propose that the customers consider moving a number of things into the public cloud instead of building and maintaining everything on-premise. 

The organization can focus more on real business problems instead of IT problems. It can also reduce the time spent setting up the infrastructure. This then makes the organization more agile and, in a lot of cases, more reliable. With the public cloud, if your design is okay, the chance of running into a serious outage is, in most cases, lower than that when relying on your own on-premise IT infrastructure, particularly in the case of companies with 50 to 500 people that typically don't have very big IT budgets.

I think the most useful feature has been the remote desktop. It has been very helpful when customers have old applications that are not architected to run remotely.

In my opinion, what could be improved is making the actual costs more predictable. It is very difficult to estimate the cost or the budget you are going to need to run your environment in Azure Cloud. You have to be a specialist to understand how you will be charged, which constantly changes.

As for additional features, it would be great if the pricing could be cheaper for those trying to study and use the cloud. Having a discounted pricing scheme or even a free usage scheme, like a sandbox that is free to use on a continuous basis, for those who are studying would help them to actually generate more business later on. The more people learn to use the clouds, the more business they will actually attract.

They will start pushing solutions into the cloud, but if they have no time or opportunity to learn to use it, they will not be confident in proposing cloud solutions. So until they have been able to validate it in a test environment or a learning environment, they won't take the risk and propose a cloud solution.

I've been involved with this solution for one year.

I think Microsoft Azure is fairly stable. It also depends on how you set up your design.

As advertised, the scalability should never be an issue. The only thing that would stop you from scaling would be that your application has an architecture that is not scalable.

For public clouds, customer service/technical support is okay. In general, the documentation is very good.

For those who are familiar with Azure, the initial setup is not that complex. However, for those who are using Azure for the first time, it's probably a bit more involved because they may need to create their own virtual data centers in the cloud with the necessary security measures. I think that often this is a bit underestimated mostly because of a lack of knowledge on the part of the new customer.

Software licensing models can be expensive depending on what you need compared to open source solutions, for example. However, if you don't have the technical skills, you may be better off paying for a license and support instead of trying to use open source solutions.

I would rate Microsoft Azure at eight on a scale from one to ten. 

I would advice others to take the time to study it carefully because there's a lot to understand and a lot to know before putting a solution in the clouds. Don't underestimate the complexity.
