Fantastic solution for data transference.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
Azure allows for very large files to be transferred via their service. Overall this is a tool that greatly helped with productivity during the recent pandemic, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a solution to data transfer. Most similar services allow for much smaller files to be transferred or at times they implement limits on how much can be done. With Microsoft Azure this is much more lenient.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
With a perfect broadband connection, files in excess of 20 GB were possible to be transferred at an acceptable pace.
What do you dislike most about this product?
This product is very heavy on the internet connection, as it transfers the files in full size rather than as zip files, which makes it considerably time consuming in the event that the individual does not have a fully open or dedicated internet connection strictly for this.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you need large files to be transferred throughout your organization, this is definitely the tool for it.
Pros
- Security Protects
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
