Top Rated Microsoft Azure Compute Alternatives
Microsoft Azure Compute is a really useful for virtualization of computing services. It's server less architecture, and scalability helps businesses not to incur huge costs for On premise systems for hosting their products and applications.
It uses Kubernatics to manage containers to run web services, and thus makes it easy to manage multiple apps. Batch processing is also one major use. It's usually a bit complicated to be implemented and specially it's difficult to transition from legacy code base to cloud based, and the dependencies often create problems. However Azure has excellent customer support and sometimes for big organizations dedicated resources to help and manage these services. However once set up, it's easy to use and manageable through one single portal. Integration with other softwares often poses a problem but Azure support often helps, and more importantly Azure offers almost all tools for a complete Application, starting from Business, to Agile boards, Test Management, CICD, Reporting. Once a business is transitioned to a cloud based platform like Azure, frequency of use is daily by everyone for all of these purposes by all stakeholders and maintain complete visibility and transparency of work.

The downside of Azure Compute is that it is sometimes complicated to be set up, specially when transition of services from on prem to cloud based is done. Also, cost of using is also good, but spending that amount is always better than all the benefits like scalability, maintenance on prem systems, etc are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about the Azure Virtual Machines is there's no need to purchase and manage the physical infrastructure and it can support various operating systems like Linux (ubuntu), Windows, macOS etc. It supports multiple versions of OS as well helping us to choose the most appropriate.

- Azure has vast varitiy of serivces, be it PAAS, SAAS, or IAAS, so depending on your solution needs you can choose your prefered option.
- Integration with 3rd party tools is easier to implement and secure with OAuth 2.0 approach (based on Azure service principal)
- Do you want to host a simple static website -> just use Storage account, or VM, or App service, choice is yours!
- Facing any issues with any of the implemented solution? Just get in touch with Microsoft support (you need to have the basic support plan) and they will help you to sort out the issue in the best way possible.
- The Azure portal interface is simple and easy to use, resource are grouped using resource groups, so segration of Environments can be done on Subscription and resource group level.
- Analysing the cost is easier at scope of resource group or subscription level.
- There are multiple ways by which you can monitor your application and setup alerts as per your solution's requirement.
- Permission management & assignment is easier with Role based access control.
- Being a frequent user of Azure for more than 5 years, I would highly recommand the use of Azure for your next solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- 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.
- Sometimes due to temporary outage of services, alert firing might be missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's hard to pick a tool within the platform that I like the most, as it's very comprehensive. However, I really like the integration with Microsoft Entra ID, where you can assign roles to users and also set access rules to resources within Microsoft Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Azure platform is really quite complete. So far, I haven't found anything I don't like, because it has worked very well in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed can be an issue for some businesses, Because opening a cloud account is a fairly simple process today, an empowered individual with spending responsibilities could approve a Microsoft Azure account without the business or ownership approving of the action in the first place.
