Azure Implementations that Work

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Arc from other similar products?

Azure is a wonderful fit for clients that require a solution to place their servers in the cloud on a metered basis using products they are already acquainted with, like Microsoft. It eliminates the need to construct and manage your own data center, which on a bigger scale may be highly expensive. Using extremely sophisticated technologies that most people are unaware of, I've helped customers quickly determine the required CPU and RAM commitments for their hosts in Azure.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

enables the delivery of computation utilizing an OpEx financial treatment. For businesses searching for a real platform as a service solution, it leads the market. The PaaS industry is maturing, and Azure is moving faster in this space.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The API support for other platforms is insufficient, necessitating developer work to create the API. The load balancer for cloud services has very few features. Microsoft employs this "cloud-based network load balancer" to send web requests to your web servers. Sadly, it currently only supports round-robin load balancing. I want to see more choices. It does, however, automatically stop delivering traffic to web servers that are not responding or that are rebooting, etc.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

There are tools that analyze your environment and estimate your Azure workload. This makes it SO much simpler to decide which virtual machines should be moved first and how much the migration will cost.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity

Microsoft Azure: A ruse for happiness

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Arc from other similar products?

In order to get my customers on to my cloud platform, I am operating a cloud platform and utilizing Azure's Software as a Service package. I also utilize the Infrastructure-as-a-Service module to provide my customers with the finest Microsoft infrastructure.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Redmond's cloud computing platform is called Microsoft Azure, formerly known as Windows Azure. The service just underwent a name change as well as an expansion. In essence, Azure allows you to do everything that traditional, on-premises Microsoft software allows you to accomplish, including managing SQL databases, running SharePoint, and deploying Active Directory. Azure now gives enterprises more straightforward hybrid cloud construction as well as more reliable disaster recovery solutions.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Expensive. Prices for hosted servers do not include storage. We were thrilled by Microsoft's entry into the PaaS space; Windows Azure is a fantastic solution on a remarkable infrastructure. Although you might require a workaround in order to utilize your favorite language on the Azure platform, the platform's community and support staff will have you up and running in no time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Although Azure is a sophisticated and complicated service, it's also quite simple to set up and use for individuals who have experience with Windows-based computers. In fact, Azure stands out from the competition as our Editor's Choice for small company cloud services because of its great wizard-driven setup and overall simplicity of use. In this area, Rackspace lags behind Microsoft since it relies on users to get answers in text-based knowledgebase articles and FAQs. Furthermore, Azure outperforms Amazon EC2 and Rackspace in terms of performance.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features
  • Saves Time

What do you dislike most about this product?

The pricing module might be made more user-friendly by making all of the hidden fees accessible because it is not transparent enough. The pricing module might be made more user-friendly by making all of the hidden fees accessible because it is not transparent enough.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Overall, Azure has been a positive experience for me, and I would strongly suggest it to others. Whether it's a product, service, pricing, or level of customer support, Azure has it all. Hosting your environment on Azure will cost you much less money. Go for it if saving money is your main priority. Once you raise a problem with them, they have highly responsive customer service that will answer your calls, emails, and queries.
