What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

Azure is the best platform for backup and disaster recovery. Due to its ability to regenerate sites and other features, it is incredibly adaptable. Regardless of the language or operating system, we can back up all of our data. Due to the fact that it is a cloud-based platform, Azure has a built-in degree of flexibility. With more connectors than ever before, Microsoft Azure is used by many major international brands. More security and backup translate to greater freedom and trust in your work.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

DevOps and infrastructure-as-a-service cloud platform Microsoft Azure. It is simple to integrate and offers all the functionality developers require to connect with microservices. We have deployed new technologies, moved all IT processes to them, and destroyed our outdated infrastructure due to the adaptability of our business and infrastructure. We successfully employed it for computing, storage, and containerization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The issue of cost will be difficult for small and mid-sized businesses. Failures of the DRSync server are not always simple to recover from. After the fail-back was finished, our on-site servers stopped working. We must restart our servers after the fail-back.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The most scalable option is Microsoft Azure. We can more effectively set things in our customers' environments thanks to the monitoring tools in this product. The cloud-based Azure products can be used globally in practically any language, operating system, and location. Its multi-factor authentication contributes to the increased security of your data. Additionally, with a single sign-on function, you may log in to cloud apps on Windows, Macs, Android, and iOS devices. There are some complex configuration options that require research, testing, and documentation updates.

Innovative Cloud Platform.

Likeliness to Recommend

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

Azure functions generally regarding user friendliness for non-technical people, more remains to be wanted. It performs as intended, but I'm certain we aren't getting the maximum benefit from the software. The integration tools and deployment manager are both great. This makes it possible to maintain source code and assist safeguard software created by third parties.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The selection of services accessible is broad and configurable once you have mastered using Azure (although only for the core services they offer, other services are more cumbersome to configure). A great feature of the cost control is the ability to filter by tags applied to resources and see exactly where expenses are coming from. Creating storage accounts and virtual machines is quite simple.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Azure services are clearly the best, however since Azure does not maintain a robust alert management service and some of the resources deployed in West Europe regions have frequent outages, I think there is need for improvement in terms of health monitoring and alerting. Additionally, the cost estimator is inaccurate, and the client's fear about overspending is constant.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Yes, Azure is quick and responsive. When setting up our server, we can choose from a wide range of applications in its marketplace. Accessing the server and managing it are both very simple and straightforward. It is secure and safe. Many aspects related to big data, SQL, virtual machines, AI/ML, and other technologies are present in it.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
