One of the top cloud providers
Likeliness to Recommend
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.
Pros
- Helps Innovate

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing software; this was my first cloud subscription, and Azure is the only reason I continue to use and rely on cloud services. Prior to utilising Azure, I didn't believe cloud services could be so secure. I performed a lot of research on cloud services before subscribing to Azure, but giants like AWS, Oracle, and Vultr didn't pique my interest. I'm only using Azure for VM services right now, but I intend to leverage Azure's SQL database services instead of Digital Ocean in future projects. This assessment is based on VM services, as stated in the last line.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The nicest thing about Azure AQL Database is its incredibly versatile and scalable platform, which provides a wide range of tools and services for developers to build and deploy applications as well as manage cloud services. It offers data protection with backup and restore tools that aid in the recovery of lost data. It also includes a Data Encryption function that encrypts sensitive data so that unauthorised users cannot access the data saved in the database. Price is fairly flexible; you only pay for what you use. I strongly advise anyone searching for cloud-based database solutions to use it.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Presently, Azure is only properly accessible from a computer; we can only send commands for existing resources or VMs that are already operating from the Android app. We must first log in to the web and create resources before we can utilise them in the app, but the main issue is that the web is not built or optimised for mobile phones, so creating resources from the online is difficult. I believe the app was created to monitor Azure Insights operations, however I recommend that developers grant users full Android app access. As a result, Google Cloud services outperform Azure because their website is also designed for mobile phones.has conte
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Azure offers numerous options for developing, processing, analysing, and deploying applications or web services that leverage cloud-based databases. It offers Databricks, Bot Services, Computer Vision, Recognizer, and other features. All of this aids in the management of various aspects in applications and web services. The integration with many providers is really smooth and secure.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
