What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft Azure is a simple and easy-to-manage cloud platform. We can easily create VMs, and file servers, Perform Backups, Manage Disaster Recovery sites, configure Virtual firewalls and many more. Azure is a safe and secure venue to host infrastructure on the cloud. It acts the same as an on-prem data center, and we have to pay for what we used. It is suitable for small as well as large organizations. Also, Microsoft's support service is excellent. If we have any issues related to billing, configuration or anything, they are ready to help.

What do you like best about Azure Virtual Machines?

Virtual Machines are everywhere and part of all infrastructure. With increasing use, Azure does make it easy to use Azure VM and integrate it with larger infrastructure. It is not only configuration, but also integration with other mechanisms and control over it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Virtual Machines?

It can be inherently more secure. We need to configure certain security aspects and just cannot spin off the virtual machine and forget about it. This is sometimes tricky and requires more review and expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Virtual Machines solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is quick, and It can be used for multiple purposes. Great for setting up a temporary test infrastructure. Modifying the infrastructure and then understanding the behavior is very important. Azure Virtual Machines help us with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
