Excellent cognitive services for innovation

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
What differentiates Microsoft Azure from other similar products are the cognitive services. There are two services in particular that appear to be unique: those are Bing Search cognitive services, and the format of the speech to text API.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favourite aspect of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform is the cognitive search feature, which returns relevant results from Bing search, which can be fed into finding a relevant image from a contextual text search.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I dislike most about Microsoft Azure is the complexity of the reporting services. To date, I have not managed to figure out how to have simple reports detailing the usage of products. I also dislike the support services of Microsoft Azure, which were slow and completely unable to resolve an issue.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
At the date of writing, Microsoft Azure offers $200 of free credit for 30 days. I recommend anyone considering Microsoft Azure to take advantage of this, to get an idea if this is a good architectural fit for you.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
Cons
- Less Efficient Service
- Less Effective Service
- Less Caring
