What I like most about the Azure Portal is the centralized visibility it provides across the entire Azure environment. As a cloud administrator, I can manage resources, security settings, networking, and monitoring from a single interface, which streamlines my day-to-day operations.

The portal can feel overwhelming at times due to the sheer number of services and configuration options available.

The Azure Portal provides a centralized and user friendly interface to manage all Azure resources in one place. It makes it easy to navigate across services like VMs, networking, storage, and identity without needing to rely entirely on CLI or scripts. The UI is well organized, and features like dashboards, resource groups, and tagging make it easier to manage large environments.

I also like how it integrates tightly with the rest of the Azure ecosystem, from Entra ID and monitoring tools to cost management and RBAC. The built in visualizations, metrics, and activity logs are very useful for quick troubleshooting and operational visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The portal can feel slow at times, especially when managing large environments or navigating between resource heavy pages. Some features are buried deep in menus, making certain configurations harder to find. There can also be inconsistencies between the Portal, CLI, and ARM/Terraform features, where some capabilities appear in one interface but not others yet. For repetitive tasks, relying only on the UI can become inefficient compared to automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using the Azure portal for the last 3 years, and I can say 100% that the kind of brilliant, easy-to-use UI Azure provides is something I haven’t seen elsewhere. Beyond that, Azure’s features and services are strong, and the support is very quick. On top of that, the Copilot feature in Azure is also one of the best things, because you just need to provide a prompt and Azure guides you through all the steps, also to find pricing of any resources is very easy as azure provides azure pricing website which helps to identify which service and tier should be beneficial for you.

Some of the services are too costly, and I don’t think every company can afford them. For example, the AI services feel especially expensive. Apart from that, one more thing that irritates me a little is that sometimes it keeps logging me out when I leave it idle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Azure Portal has unified dashboards where I can manage everything for VMs, databases, network, and storages in one place. The role-based access control (RBSE) makes it easy to assign permissions and manage security for teams. The built-in dashboards and alerts are great for tracking resources and performance. I appreciate the cost management tools with integrated cost analysis and budget features that help prevent overspending. The seamless connection with Azure DevOps is another plus, allowing us to run CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments. Also, it's globally available, which is handy for managing resources across multiple regions from a single portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the performance and responsiveness of Azure Portal. The portal can feel slow when loading or switching between services, especially for big subscriptions. Also, there are so many services available that it can become overwhelming to find what I need. Even though there's a search bar, the global search sometimes returns too many unrelated results. The mobile version of the portal lacks some features and feels less optimized compared to the desktop version. Additionally, the error messages could be improved with more actionable troubleshooting guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Azure Portal is how easy it is to manage different services in one place. I can switch between Databricks, Storage Accounts, Key Vault, ADF, and monitoring tools without needing separate logins or setups. The UI is clean and makes it simple to check resource health, logs, permissions, and costs. It helps a lot during deployments because everything is visible and traceable. The search bar is a lifesaver when you don’t remember where something is. Overall, it feels like a dashboard that keeps everything organized and easy to work with day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside for me is that some sections load slowly, especially when working with heavier resources like Databricks or ADF monitors. A few settings are buried so deep that you spend time clicking around just to find one small option. Sometimes the layout changes after updates, which confuses users. When there are many resources in a subscription, the portal can feel a bit cluttered. And for some operations, you still need to switch to CLI or PowerShell because the portal doesn't support everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once everything was set up, managing Virtual Machines and containers across storage was very easy. Being able to stop and start a VM with minimal effort was a nice bonus, and it was just as straightforward to manage the storage as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the storage containers some quick access items such as images should be visible in the portal only without the need of manually downloading them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
