What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

Microsoft Azure is quite different from other software out there because if you have a small project or just working on a test project it will not charge you. You can use its predefined high powered machine learning API's very easily at no cost if you have an educational mail. Apart from that implementation and documentation is also very easy to use and understand.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this project is the machine learning models which help a lot and saves a lot of time during the development of apps.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is nothing to dislike about Azure as of now. I give a better experience than other platforms out there in the market.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would surely recommend trying this first as it is more beginner-friendly than other cloud platforms out there. And pretty simple to use with it's easy to read documentations.
