Bad, I couldn't get anything working due to errors constantly telling me I had missed weird items when setting up systems. When I tried to close the account that was just as hard. I needed CHATGPT to help me close as the help was no good.

Pros

I thought this would be a platform that a business owner could use to drive their small business but wrong was I.

Cons

The platform was so complicated, I was unable to use. Over time I found I was being charged for resources I had not started directly. Why we can't have a simple system for cloud computing that asks for disk, CPU and Memory plus O/S I don't understand. This is not user friendly unless you are from a technical background. I have been in IT over 20 years and was lost.

Azure has been a fantastic tool that I will continue to use on a daily basis for my company. It's the best platform for cloud infrastructure that I've worked with.

Pros

Microsoft Azure is a leading cloud platform known for its affordable yet high-quality services. Widely adopted by large organizations, it stands out for its intuitive user interface, making it simple to navigate, manage, and deploy various cloud solutions.

Cons

I don’t have any major dislikes about Azure, but certain services, such as Application Gateway can be relatively expensive.

Overall the experience is fine with Azure. Based on the deployment it is good enough to start with and holding on your maintenance activities properly. One best thing we noticed that it is cost efficient and won't require much downtime.

Pros

1. Perfect hybrid cloud environment with good consistency.
2. Failover , high availability configurations are easy and one of the good thing in whole environment.
3. Highly secure , flexible and extremely scalable.

Cons

1. UI of the product is complex and not that much sorted and easy as compare to other competitors.
2. Slow support team with some time no support even.
3. Taking high resource utilization in machines than expected.

We switched from having classic Active Directory on site, to Azure Active Directory in the cloud. The GUI is a little daunting at first, but eventually becomes easy to use after the initial learning curve. It's a lot more modern of a design, rather than using classic AD's old and archaic design. Azure is the future of Active Directory.

Pros

I love that Microsoft Azure provides all of the same functionality of classic Active Directory, and more, but in the cloud. It makes migrating and digitalizing your infrastructure very easy.

Cons

I definitely did not like some aspects of the GUI. It can be very daunting to a new administrator and even a little difficult if you have experience. But as with anything else, practice makes progress. You will eventually get the hang of it and will know where all your frequently used areas are located.

Microsoft Azure is a powerful and versatile cloud platform offering a variety of advantages and has extensive service offerings but requires careful planning and management to fully leverage its capabilities.

Pros

Microsoft Azure is highly available, scalable and secure platform. It is very cost-effective, we can only pay for what we use, which significantly reduced our IT costs. It seamlessly integrated with other Microsoft products.

Cons

Managing Azure services can be complex with cloud expert staff. It can be expensive if not managed properly and optimized for efficiency. It is dependent on internet connectivity.

Microsoft Azure provides the perfect environment to design, develop, test, deploy, and monitor advanced analytics workloads on the cloud. We use Azure for data warehousing, Pipelines, and machine learning to extract and process data from various sources. The SQL-managed services handle infrastructure and resource allocation to simplify the provisioning process and help us focus our team effort on workflow optimization, solution improvements, and project goals. Azure Cloud is a Collaborative and inclusive development environment with an easy-to-navigate user interface and has efficient billing and cost management tools that help us better our teamwork.

Pros

Microsoft Azure provides reliable cloud storage, computing, networking, infrastructure, resources, and tools for solution development and deployment. The analytical services and SQL solutions are fast and integrate seamlessly with on-premises SQL Server systems. The platform is secure, easy to implement, and continuously adds new features and advanced AI capabilities. The customer support is friendly and responsive. Also, Azure has an extensive learning platform and solution architecture center to help developers design and optimize better cloud solutions.

Cons

Azure continuously adding new features is critical for success, but it is a bit overwhelming and requires continuous learning to keep up with the latest updates.
