Scalable and reliable cloud database.

10 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

One of the key benefits of Azure SQL Database is that it offers extremely high levels of availability, which is one of its amazing benefits. This solution also has the advantage of being scalable up or down in accordance with the organization's specific requirements, which is one of its most significant advantages.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It has the ability to create elastic pools that can house multiple databases, allowing the less-used databases to share resources with the databases that are more heavily used. Additionally, we have high availability at all times around the world for all of the users of our applications, and we provide solutions for business continuity and disaster recovery thanks to this software.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It does not offer many options for tuning and customizing the hardware. It lacks authentic SQL database experience, including the ability to write queries and move between databases. The prices are a bit high since you cannot control how much each database within an elastic pool can use; the limits apply to all the databases.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This product has a number of features that make it stand out from its competitors, including an on-demand auto-scale cluster. Because the data will be protected and the data will be stored in an encrypted format, there will be minimal security breaches. For better query performance, the self-performance tuning advisor is used.

Pros

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

A very useful tool from Microsoft.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

A cloud computing service from Microsoft is called Azure. Utilizing scalable platforms and frameworks, commercial entities may use Azure to create, manage, and deploy software on Microsoft's worldwide networking. It is robust, serves as a layer 7 backend, and gives me all the offloading resources I could possibly need.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We have seen significant success utilizing it for computation, storage, and intermodal. Azure offers a large variety of locales, unlike other cloud service providers. One of Azure's greatest strengths, in my opinion, is how straightforward it is. The Azure SDK and QuickStart templates are just two of the many free tools that Azure offers to make developing apps easier for developers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

My impression of its unidentified incorrect things was not great. When there is a conflict in the Pull request, it occasionally keeps telling me that I can't scroll around the screen and that I need to restart the page. Payment support is not in a rush to provide specific answers or even to solve any issues.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

One of the major cloud service providers that contributed to our modernization is Azure. By utilizing compute, storage, and other Azure capability, we have been able to utilize, administer, and control massive applications and platforms. It provides log storage that can be accessed from anywhere in the world at any time to gain knowledge that drives IT and business choices.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
