What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

While AWS and GCP is good in cloud market, I think Microsoft Azure provides lots of features and capabilities which are quite unique from others. And their tight integration with Microsoft 365 and Active Directory is something, which enterprises love and find easy to make a switch to.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The documentation, user guide, training and support of Microsoft Azure is something which is absolutely stunning. They have detailed information on almost all of the services which they offer and lots of free trainings as well which helps many people to get a good understanding of the platform.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only thing I can think of is that sometimes the cost of some azure services can be little on the higher side which is something that might make small companies to think twice before adopting.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Overall Azure is a great product, perhaps one of the best cloud provider out there. It has great set of documentation, trainings, support and features. It can bring a lot of value to your organization.
