What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

A portfolio of cloud-based solutions, Microsoft Azure, may be utilized alone or as part of a larger cloud computing system, depending on your needs. There are a number of cloud computing technology offered by Microsoft Azure that is intended for IT managers and software developers. Intellectual services including natural language processing, data analysis, and machine learning for open-[source] architectures like Tensorflow, MXNet, Keras, and others are provided by Microsoft Azure. In the service business, it is utilized based on consumer requirements. Assists with scalability as well as dependability and safety.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Azure offers a complete lifespan solution. You'll have a lot of alternatives to choose from, from creation to automatic deployment. As well, custom connector permits of existing on-premise assets. All services have excellent information, which makes it easy for a newbie to get started. The community and the Azure Technical staff provide outstanding help. In comparison to similar services given by other companies in the same area, BOT Services, Computer Vision Services, and ML Frameworks produce great outcomes.

What do you dislike most about this product?

A tiny part of the documentation is missing, and it can be perplexing. The jargon might sometimes be a bit perplexing for those who are brand new to the field. The primary downside is that you must have all the details before creating the Gateway, or else you'll have to configure it again. Automated deployment templates have a few flaws that need to be ironed out from time to time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Since this is the only native choice available, we're stuck with it, but if you study the material carefully, it'll be a lot easier to work with Microsoft Azure. In our firm, we have a number of user projects that use Azure, particularly in ASP.NET. When using SQL Server as a foundation, there is a certain amount of delay between the data server and the application server. We don't have an easy option to install Lets Encrypt on websites, everything has to be done manually for now. As a backup, we utilize rival G, which is significantly less expensive. It is important to us that our clients have a positive experience with our applications.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

Microsoft Azure support and infrastructure speed is a lot better than other hostings like Google Platform. It allows the capability with user friendly environment to engage and work with features. Microsoft Azure has great features with Tunnels, VM, Storage and DNS. Microsoft server 2019 can interact in a great way with Azure cloud.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Microsoft Azure is unique in its capabilities with Cloud Computing, Servers management, working with VPN tunnels and DNS records. It allowed us the capability to connect our multi-site that we were unable to do with local setup.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Microsoft Azure cost is high with Traffic, VM and other features. It should be reduced to an affordable packages

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would suggest anyone buying Azure subscription to go through CSP process with any vendor to make sure the environment is properly managed. If you are managing in house then you/your engineers should be Microsoft Azure Certified

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

1- Proactive and responsive support. We've worked with most other cloud providers - Amazon, Google, Oracle. Amazon Web Services' customer support is a black hole and their documentation is worthless. Google and Oracle are better, but Azure's support is responsive and their docs are pretty good. 2- Azure's Web UI is pretty easy to work with

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

1- The product is constantly evolving both in terms of features and user-friendliness. 2- Microsoft effectively tunes for their own applications 3- Microsoft Azure functions can run be hosted and run inside of Kubernetes. This allows solutions based on Azure functions cloud agnostic. 4-Azure Active Directory is the top of the list. No organization can be without a robust and capable identity management system for the users. having the identities managed in the cloud means that your people can potentially be authenticated to more systems everywhere, allowing more work to get done more securely.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I know cost is a barrier for many organizations. The retail prices may seem high and may be out of reach now, but with careful planning and negotiation, along with a realistic sense of what you can do now verses what you could be doing in the future, the costs should even out.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

During our initial stages with Azure (years ago), we had several hybrid scenarios going, where we had portions of a service on-premises while other portions were in Azure. Active Directory was a good example. The Hybrid story got better and better and made "jumping to the cloud" less of an abrupt jump and more of a careful walk. The Hybrid ease has probably only gotten better since then.
