A great PaaS tool

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

When comparing to AWS you will find that Microsoft and Azure itself has a much bigger focus on infra whereas AWS is much more focused on development. it's ability to function with offerings like o365 and Intune (MDM) is great, not something AWS offers. When comparing to GCP the main advantage here is pricing and maturity. GCP costs much more and lacks in several areas.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to manage, control and develop via PowerShell is extremely appealing.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The constant GUI changes which come somewhat forced when using Azure, a minor issue but annoying nonetheless.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

A great tool for SMBs and up, well priced with a good number of engineers who work with the tool already, great services and features too.
