- 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.

Limited personalization compared to a self-managed SQL Server, a lack of support for features such as Windows Authentication, extended stored procedures, and table partitioning, potential limitations on what can be done with data due to restrictions on T-SQL syntax, and possibly much higher costs for complex workloads that do need extensive control over database management.

Switching to Microsoft Azure from our On-Premise environment has been one of the best decisions of our Organisation. Its easy to understand and implement features has been the highlight for me. Along with this, the customer support of Microsoft Azure is available 24/7 either via chat, email or even a phone call. In my work, I have to use Microsoft Azure on a daily basis. Initially it was scary to switch to cloud but Microsoft Azure has helped us to easily integrate our work to cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's actually not much to dislike about the Microsoft Azure, but if I had to choose something that could be made better is the cost which Microsoft charges. Although all the cost is justified by the product, but it is still not easy for small business to afford this cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
