Best cloud computing platform solution

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Automation from other similar products?
The most crucial public cloud platform for our entire cloud architecture and online apps is Microsoft Azure. I must confess that all of the capabilities offered by this cloud platform—including those related to big data, SQL, virtual machines, AI/ML, and many others—are incredibly user-friendly and highly efficient.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The price and billing structure with the savings programs that this cloud platform offers, which gives us numerous options to lower the cost of the cloud, is what I appreciate best about it. This has a pay-as-you-go option, an Enterprise discount option, and a restricted saving plans feature. The virtual machines are another excellent feature for me it is a must for me.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The only thing I don't like is the pay as you go feature. It's a good feature, but it's also quite expensive for me. With this feature, I only have to pay for usage, but the cost of the pay-as-you-go instance type is really high.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The most cost-effective, efficient, and safe public cloud infrastructure platform is Microsoft Azure. I must admit that this is a really amazing cloud platform for running the business applications and platform. We have been using it for a very long time to run our platform load, infrastructure, and some mission-critical business applications.
