What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

- Azure has vast varitiy of serivces, be it PAAS, SAAS, or IAAS, so depending on your solution needs you can choose your prefered option.

- Integration with 3rd party tools is easier to implement and secure with OAuth 2.0 approach (based on Azure service principal)

- Do you want to host a simple static website -> just use Storage account, or VM, or App service, choice is yours!

- Facing any issues with any of the implemented solution? Just get in touch with Microsoft support (you need to have the basic support plan) and they will help you to sort out the issue in the best way possible.

- The Azure portal interface is simple and easy to use, resource are grouped using resource groups, so segration of Environments can be done on Subscription and resource group level.

- Analysing the cost is easier at scope of resource group or subscription level.

- There are multiple ways by which you can monitor your application and setup alerts as per your solution's requirement.

- Permission management & assignment is easier with Role based access control.

- Being a frequent user of Azure for more than 5 years, I would highly recommand the use of Azure for your next solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

- For most of the services they provide good SLA, however if there are any issues, eg. Network timeout for consumption based logic apps, Azure Data factory, then even if we contact the support, there is a high chance that the support team may not be able to provide you detailed log info, and you have to implement a retry or some sort of workaround.

- Sometimes due to temporary outage of services, alert firing might be missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microsoft Azure has highly available services, due to which hosting a solution is easier, and mainly that means you can access it from anywhere in world, this means less of maintaince, making sure of the hosting services are up or not, and more of actual work that can be done!

Compared to other cloud platforms some of the solutions are cheaper / simply better on Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Functions?

In my use case, the Azure Function has been useful, especially for implementing a scheduled service via a timer Trigger. The main advantage is that when a schedule starts, the Azure Function does not instantiate another run until the current instance has finished or times out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Functions?

There is a maximum timeout limit of 30 minutes. For implementations that involve long runs, it is better to choose a durable function implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Functions solving and how is that benefiting you?

Implementation of scheduled processes, with data retrieval and processing from different integrated systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I dislike about Microsoft Azure is for sure the time to learn all the tools and offerings from its side. Someone with some knowledge can take sometime to get used to its vast offerings and tools. The pricing for some tools is also steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
