Microsoft Azure Reviews for Indian Users
Alternatives Considered:
A necessary tool that can open up your account management and network management from anywhere
Comments: It is is robust directory services that gets its strength from being in the cloud and not tied to internal servers or connections. It is a industry standard user management solutions that allows us to run account lifecycles and connect with other software and programs.
Pros:
One of its greatest strengths is that it is universally used and able to connect and be used with almost all software and programs out there.
Cons:
Maybe the biggest con is that Microsoft products are not always the easiest to configure for special circumstances and Azure would fall into this category sometimes.
Azure-All your needs in one place
Comments: The Overall experience I would say was good and it has all the features from DevOps , database management to cloud storage that you would need as a software developer but it just takes sometime to learn all the features and to get used to using them.
Pros:
The thing I like most using Microsoft Azure is that it offers databases like SQL and also the DevOps features are great and helps a lot while building websites and apps.
Cons:
The thing I like least is that sometimes the services are slow and there are outages sometimes which lead to downtime
Avoid Azure unless you are an IT Technician, not for small businesses.
Comments: Bad, I couldn't get anything working due to errors constantly telling me I had missed weird items when setting up systems. When I tried to close the account that was just as hard. I needed CHATGPT to help me close as the help was no good.
Pros:
I thought this would be a platform that a business owner could use to drive their small business but wrong was I.
Cons:
The platform was so complicated, I was unable to use. Over time I found I was being charged for resources I had not started directly. Why we can't have a simple system for cloud computing that asks for disk, CPU and Memory plus O/S I don't understand. This is not user friendly unless you are from a technical background. I have been in IT over 20 years and was lost.
Alternatives Considered:
Feature rich and stable cloud solution
Comments: In general I am very satisfied with Azure. Especially all the features of Web Apps make it a superior solution hosting in plain IIS.
Pros:
Feature rich and stable cloud solution offering a multitude of options
Cons:
High prices, especially for basic technical support
Exploring MICROSOFT AZURE
Comments: The Overall Experience was Good and using Microsoft Azure was a great way to use developer tools and manage your app and adding AI features easily.
Pros:
The feature I like the most about Microsoft Azure is its real time analytics which gives real time data of apps and also its premade code templates which saves a lot of time.
Cons:
The thing that I don't like would be that it is quite difficult to integrate with non-Microsoft software.
