What do you like best about Azure Virtual Machines?

I used virtual machines in azure portal to study for my administrator exam. And when I started using it, it was very user friendly and the configurations were very simple to set up. It was not much complicated compared to AWS and the UI was also simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Virtual Machines?

It would be helpful to know if any of the virtual machines were still on before turning it off... I know that we can set up notifications but if we can see on one go if we need to shut down any VMs before heading out it will help with minimizing costs in our bill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps in setting up DNS servers, learning to set up Kubernetes, practicing storage account operations and shared storage facilities. It was very easy to set up in order to learn and dive deep into azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

I used whiz labs to help me prepare for the AZ 900 exam and I found the course and practice tests very helpful in assisting me with passing the certification. I will use whizlabs for all my azure certifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The only issue was there was a lot of material to cover, and specific topics I still do not feel confident in but I will after I take some more courses from whiz labs I am sure my knowledge will increase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are no issues currently other than having to review the online documentation to see if there are any updates on the topics you are looking to gain further knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bastion connection is quite slow and doesn't transfer the audio output to host system which makes it unusable for Media consumption purpose, beside that there is no way to select perticular amount of memory etc . you have to select predefined sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Azure offers so many things from data security to cloud server hosting. You can run your entire business off of it without ever buying a server if your really wanted to! But my favorite feature (the one thing that Google and AWS can't offer you with their competing products) is their DLP offering. We have a pop-up when you save a document asking you how it is classified, then if you try to save a restricted document to a non-company computer, or e-mail it, or whatever, it will stop you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The cost. This may be the best service out there, but it's also the most expensive. Using the features that are unique to Azure and then using AWS for other services is the way to go if cost is a concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

DLP, server management, automation, access control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Simple UI with great features of ML as a service provided by the platform. Moreover, the certifications/training that they provide helps greatly in gaining the market value as well as hone our skills for the latest industry problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

There is nothing much about Azure, but they can surely adapt the cloud shell, and improve the Code as a service program a bit to be flexible with different languages as well as easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Azure:

Definitely use it, and to know more do complete the certifications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Providing the ML as a service is great for me, compared to others it's affordable and easy to manage the pipelines on the easy-to-use and understand UI, I really appreciate their work in this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

- Probably the most efficient tool right now to maintain the complete lifecycle of a project

- Azure Boards, Azure Repos and Azure Pipelines are the key features

- We can automate any kind of solution on Azure Cloud using CLI scripting or PowerShell scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

- Microsoft should add support for more integration tools to help the developers

- Notifications about the tasks which are expiring in a few days could be handled better

-Dashboard design can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Azure:

Go through the services offered by Microsoft Azure. If you are looking for complete SDLC platform, then go ahead with Azure DevOps platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Azure DevOps is probably the best service available right now when we compare the cloud side of things. It is a complete platform which comes in handy for every business to handle the entire Software Development Life Cycle. Within Azure DevOps, we have Azure Board that helps in the Project Management side of things; Azure Pipelines for automation within the project, and Azure Test Cases for managing the test cases.

The ROI is also higher with Azure DevOps as we can have frequent code deployment and the time to recover from an incident is also very less when compared to having separate platforms like GitHub and Jira together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

From my experience with it, the UI is very useful and easy to use. Services in it are easy to understand and every service has its documentation so it was easy for me to get started with Microsoft azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The networking-related functions for VM are quite hard to do on the console level it takes a while to get used to that. Some of the services are of high level for beginners so it is time consuming to get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Azure:

When starting with Microsoft azure please refer the official documentation as it will be very helpful for you to get started with your career in Microsoft azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is solving the issues of organizations regarding the migration of the on-prem server data to the cloud which is essential nowadays. And the best is the TCO as it helps to estimate the cost which is very beneficial to the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
