Many OS we can choose to use from Windows OS to Linux Distributions. Also we can scale up the VMs easily and just a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some changes still need to restart VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall would give Azure Virtual Machines an average rating. Nothing special here and will definitely be upgrading in the next few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall interference can be hard to navigate and is not super user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part about Azure Virtual Machines is that it is easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it takes awhile to load certain features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of services available for users. You can create everithing from Virtual Machines to Serverless functions in several clicks. Readable documentation, good powershell module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI is not very fast, so you`d better use Powershell. Support is a bit slow, sometimes you able to find silution by yourself while they are thinking on your question Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to manage virtual servers in the cloud is the best part for us. We can also replicated our critical services there to have on stand by in case we have a critical outage on site. It is nice to know we have those for fail over purposes. If we were to have a disaster such as a long term outage or our data center gets taken out by a storm or other disaster, we can be back up and running quickly on their off site cloud infrastructure. We can also keep things synced with our software we use to make sure the Azure virtual server are up to date to a reasonable point in time so as not to have a significant difference in our data on our on site servers.

It is a bit confusing to navigate until you figure out where things are located. And since we are a vmware shop, we have to do some learning about Hyper-V although as I understand it, they have a solution where they can manage it at Microsoft with little interaction on the customers side, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few clicks and servers are ready in a few minutes. Cost effective, don't have to manage monitoring as you will get the alert as per your requirements.Never have any performance issues, boosts the performance as per your needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The on-premise backup and restoration. Disk encryption for critical apps/data. Cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's absurdly easy to set up extremely powerful web infrastructure for your application. You can have a web app set up and deployed in minutes if you know what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Azure is less affordable than AWS in my experience, and is optimized for Windows development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I actually used Azure virtual machines to run large Excel files that were crashing my local machine. It was great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The service tiers are designed primarily around server-related tasks, so for my own purposes, I could never find quite the right tier to provision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft have gone out of their way to simplify the process of creating and managing cloud assets in Azure. They do not push you down one particular way of doing things either; they let you do it your way. If you want to create or manage resources through the portal, the .NET API, PowerShell, REST, etc. it is up to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The blades in the Azure portal are a novel idea but they do get cumbersome at times. They are also a little buggy. If I want to delete a resource, I right click on it in the list, and a new blade pops up with the resource's properties. I need to scroll back to the previous blade and right click it again for the context menu to actually display. Very annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
