Youngest Blood in Cloud Providers

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
Azure is the most feature rich and broadest functionality cloud. Being a new contender in the cloud provider world, it has researched the pros and cons of every other cloud provider and provided what other clouds lack of. This results in some of the functionalities so thought out and feature specfic to user need.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Since many of the customers have a huge infra running on Windows and Azure having the most native support for windows helps easy-to-use migration strategies. Moreover being feature-rich in all the aspects of cloud, a professional cloud user will be able to implement the most niche solutions with ease.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The documentation is certainly something which lacks as per compare to its rich features. I have found most of the documentation either too complex or too random. Moreover being a new contender in the cloud world, it also has less community forums and discussions which might cause tracking in case stuck on an issue.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are profession cloud user and have experience of at least 2 years in Cloud, then Azure would be the best bet to move your infrastructure to. Moreover cost wise also Azure is more cheaper as compared to its alternatives. Also make sure to go for premium support initially during migration since it helps keep the wheel moving faster and issues can be solved much quicker with support as community forums are still building.
