What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

There are quite a few things - one of them is the access to cloud shell using browser which is a major win. Also the support for windows is awesome as it is Microsoft's proprietary solution

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Like I mentioned earlier, the ability to access cloud shell (azure cli) using the browser is amazing. Also the ability to easily send alerts on email and phone number is good.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It would be really nice if Azure has their own service for email instead of sendgrid as a marketplace. Or not have limitations for using sendgrid on azure platform

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Evaluate with all the cloud providers.
