Fast, scalable and easy to use IaaS infrastructure. You can create VMs in few click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Perhaps, a little bit expensive especially the VMs with Microsoft license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to manage the Cloud Infrastructure in Microsoft Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maybe there are some limitations, like modify some deployment setting after the deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The virtual machines from Azure has multiple ways of spinning one up, Portal, PowerShell, Json Templates and other SDKs. The virtual machines are easy to spin up, and they are usually quite easy to use and setup with the NSG, data disks and all the other things Microsoft tries to cram down people's list.

When the VM RDP/SSH connection fails, it's really hard for the users to get it fix by themselves. Yes, there is redeploy, reset password, run commands and serial console but it doesn't help us to get it fix for the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

still exploring the pros and cons, as of now I find the VM environment very good and easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. It saves time in efficiency in falls and backups, since my supplier company is well equipped to solve any problem that happens
2. Rapid implementation of software already tested by many users
3. Great ability to customize applications and their configuration
4. Automatic updates that are very fast and effective arising from the experience of many users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Disadvantages
1. Vulnerability of the privacy of our data, access with security managers and https protocols reduce the danger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Creating a virtual machine is very easy , it is more of a do-it-yourself process. A lot of readily available VM options to choose from depending on the needs and purpose of the VM to be created.
Clarity on the pay as you go model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
there is nothing to dislike. Microsoft is doing its best in the cloud industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall its easy to setup and run virtual machines within the azure platform. You get instant access to additional azure platform services that you can integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall azure pricing can be a tad bit costly, I did try development using the azure platform but in the end I treated the VM as just any old vm service's server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Using Azure Virtual Machines thanks to Microsoft's donation to NonProfit associations, this is a huge advantage for those associations that maybe can not afford some exclusive services offered by Azure. I feel very well and I could not do without it. I can create unlimited virtual machines, obviously always controlling costs, and managing them in one screen. Many operating systems are available and also the number of usable functions is noteworthy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having all the functions condensed in a single platform the service is occasionally chaotic and not very clear its use, you must therefore contact the assistance for help or search online and in most cases always find the solution.
I found some difficulties in activating the product, it is not very simple and without the support of an expert it could be impossible.
Support is also available in Italian even if complicated to contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Azure has a wide range of VM images and an easy to navigate user interface. Besides the marketplace has a wide range of solutions and VM images that can be easily deployed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
VM pricing is a little steep for the specifications and data storage / use. Besides, it would be helpful to include the per hour cost which was previously displayed. It doesn't seem to be shown in the "sizing" menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love just about everything about Azure VM's. I couldn't say that a few years ago when the GUI lacked several key options (2nd network adapter option anyone?) that were only available via Powershell. I do love that I can use Powershell to deploy a VM, but sometimes you just want to go through the GUI for a quick build. I like how quickly I can deploy a virtual machine and I like how easy it is to set up the networking and NSG of my VM. Backups are a breeze and it's trivial to setup hardware monitoring and alerting.

I dislike that I don't have a console. I don't like the screenshot gimmick, and I really wish Microsoft would figure out how to make a console happen. I also don't like how long some tasks take. Often I'll kick off a VM related job, and the little spinny thing at the top of the screen spins for 10+ minutes before finally completing the task. I wish we had a better status option (percentage maybe? time remaining?) than wha twe have now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
