What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

Throughput Limitations, sometimes if in case our tier is a low tier and we have to handle busy scenarios it wont work and message size limit it wont work for larger payload messages. When dealing with topics and understanding and implementing topics and subscriptions is not an easy in one time go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?

It is effortless to integrate this in your Azure projects; they offer incredible ways to scale your systems without spending too much money on it, and with Azure function, they are just delightful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

As with many Azure services, their principal use is with other Azure services; this is limiting sometimes but still worth using if you are already on Azure, although this doesn't mean that it is not useful with other technologies, just that is easier with other Azure solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used them as the main way of communication between microservices in a monolith-to-microservice migration, mainly to transport payloads of data between different stages of the system, this permitted the processors were independent of each other and were able to process their work independently of congestion in other services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?

High scalability with the ability to trigger an Azure Function directly. There are many settings to adjust according to the use case, so it's a very flexible solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

Tricky to monitor properly, though the tools exist natively to do this. The documentation on this is getting better, but still requires hands-on experience to get it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Handling a large volume of messages that need to be handled with different levels of priority. Not having to deal with the infrastructure side of things is a big advantage for time-to-market sensitive projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?

Thanks to the SB, we can have decoupled architecture and scalability easy; you can let the SBQ accumulate the message and let your systems handle them as they can without paying enormous expensive resource for a couple of minutes of high traffic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

Depuration is hard. The Azure Portal UI SB is hard to use since it does not have a lot of options for visualizaation; you can use the unofficial SB explorer tool, but it isn't lovely, and I would rather have an official tool for SB exploration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Service Bus:

Create your own debugging tools for testing and reading the service bus messages, and adjust them to what you need to validate since the official azure tool won't be of much help in particular problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Microservice architecture connected by PUB/SUB protocol instead of a direct protocol like HTTP, each service is responsible for providing or reading a message from the SBwhat the next system does is not the microservice responsibility so it works as a black boxs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?

We used azure for purchasing and payments to suppliers. I like the dashboard and the ease of approvals using mobile. I didn’t use this as much as my employees, but the workflow was efficient. I also liked the ability to see everything in one snapshot. The suppliers thought it was more user friendly than other software they used for their clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

I hated approving things from the PC! Honestly, if I got an approval request on my pc, I would pick up my phone and approve it from there. I also didn’t like that if I got a reminder to approve something I may have missed, there was no link to see it. I had to go tot the sight and manually log in.

What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Purchasing tangible items. Workflow for purchasing approvals, especially across multiple site work locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?

Perhaps the biggest advantage of Microsoft Azure is its ease of integration with other Microsoft products. If you're used to using Excel, Access, SQL Server, and other Microsoft products, Azure will fit in nicely.

Azure does a good job at pointing the user into user-friendly methods for data capture and analysis. In fact, I think Azure does the best job at this compared to competing tools.

Microsoft Azure has recently made strides in implementing advanced analytics, such as machine learning. Their advances are great and integrate nicely with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

Risk of regression. Since all applications are talking via a centralised entity, any change to the entity bears a risk of introducing a regression. Mitigating this risk is an expensive undertaking, usually requiring investment into automated testing. Never have an ESB without continous integration and very high automated test coverage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Azure can be beneficial to any organization if planned appropriately. One of its great benefits is that you pay only for what resources you use. Easy to deploy and manage. Perhaps not suitable for your organization if you already have in-house systems that accommodate your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?

Never been trained or expose to Azure and the simplicity of their UX made me self-thought and complete my goal. Every clicks and changes and consistent so it's easy for me to navigate and follow the Knowledge Center instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

Might be just cosmetic but the color scheme. Wish we can customize it to it would look seamless on our company color theme. Some of the standard object/field as well, I wish can be repurposed. Since API will be the same name we plan to use but it's part of the standard object, it would be easier for our developer if they can just repurpose it rather than creating a similar name -- for easier coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Service Bus:

Community probably that can help me see the use cases and contributions for Users on how to combat the issue. Getting with Support team might be troublesome in some ways so having me find the answer on a Community board is really satisfying and rewarding because it gives me more idea on how I can improve on my use cases.

What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our developers' typical spend on serious mapping and still would have encountered the problem of transforming related data from one set of complex structures to another. So having the ‘Complex Data Restructuring’ Using the ‘List’ Operations in the Service Bus EAI/EDI Mapper saved their developing effort tons of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?

Obviously, Microsoft has products that go beyond the portal itself.

The value to the reader is getting a deep understanding of exactly where all the capabilities can be found on the portal. Often we hear of the capabilities of Azure but it is rarely mapped directly to the Azure portal. By learning about Azure through the portal you will have a clear idea of where to go to get the capabilities you need. As you now, Azure is constantly evolving so this just represents a snapshot in time. I will do my best to keep this updated moving forward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?

Not user friendly at first for those who are incompetent with computer software. I also experienced lag and delay issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?

any companies need built-in support for a relational database. They also don’t want to spin up (provision) a VM and install SQL Server or MySQL. Luckily, as you’ll read more later, you will learn that both SQL Server and MySQL are offered as a service.

This dramatically simplifies management of sophisticated web sites that have a database back-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
