Microsoft Azure

Pros: Perfect for Microsoft systems integration. Makes user accounts seamless across all workstations.

Cons: There are some minor functionality drawbacks. Can be a bit cumbersome on the back end.

Overall: Great for cross company company communication and work flow.

Pros: Azure is fast and offers support with many third-party integrations. Microsoft Azure provides reasonable price and it's one of the best cloud infrastructure service.

Ease of use

Variety of storage types like Table, Queue, Blob etc.

Secure

Cons: Needs significant understanding to use Secure access token capabilites

Pros: It has a lot of different features that should have you covered in the majority of cases.

Cons: As any MS product, it is made with "dumb" users in mind. This is a problem when you are trully aimed to professionals.

Overall: I work with Azure because of project requirements. It works OK but I will be happy when I leave it behind.

Pros: It's API is easy to use to validate co-workers on our terms. You are able to create your own groups and give permissions. It offers MFA. The API returns a lot of important information.

Cons: Can't find a way to give a custom message when the user doesn't have the correct clearance.

Overall: We love using it and it allows our employees to have one login for many different tools.

Pros: I feel the best part about Azure backup is Microsoft's promise of having a reliable cloud server for its clients. Backups are easily stored and can also be done using scheduling. Folders can beorganised categorically in the cloud. easily accesable from any platform.

Cons: Uses a lot of data, which can be a problem in non enterprise environments. A beginner might struggle with the interface.

Overall: A very neat software for professionals. It can put our mind to ease knowing that our backups are safe with Microsoft.

Pros: Updates are frequent to fix any issues that may arise; this shows the concern with the customer. Every function or process you may need is there, simple as that.

Cons: Azure appears to be slower than other tools. Maybe it's because of Microsoft's attempt to make it easier to use.

Overall: Of all the platforms we use, Azure was the easiest to assimilate and deploy. It's great if you have multiple users accessing data simultaneously. Well worth it.

Pros: Good dashboard which allows to quickly identify the elements you need and navigate between the different Microsoft products you need

Cons: Backup ups are limited in the number available per day and speed

Pros: The simple plug and play into your environment was well received. I also liked the ability to scale your DW units up or down as needed and even found a way to schedule it to save money during non-peak times.

Cons: While better at managing views, the storage speed was a little slower than a simple SQL DB. We ended up winding it down in favor of a standard SQL DB as the speed was better for our need.

Overall: Finest experience I've had with any Microsoft product. Best of all it is Virtual and you can shut it off and not pay for it any time you want.

Pros: Azure is a paltform where all the needed tools have been collected and you just need to pick the ones you need and use them as soon as you pay. In Azure you can find the product for various kind of areas for example you want to deploy a webpage and you need a server just choose the right resources and pay according to your decsion and go on, you want a database and choose and pay you are done, there are many areas like this which you need to manage the infrastructure of your company. Morever the management and maintenace of this paltform is easy. They have really nice customer service and they are always ready to help you.

Cons: When I have used this platform first time I was very frustrated or a guy with less experience it is a bit complicated but by the time you can easly learn the things.

Overall: I was working with a software team and we were using it for he web server and database server. As it was startup project we were using with the limited money but the money that we paid and what we get is more that excellent and if I ahve the same project in future am more than welcome to use Azure again.
