When comparing to AWS you will find that Microsoft and Azure itself has a much bigger focus on infra whereas AWS is much more focused on development. it's ability to function with offerings like o365 and Intune (MDM) is great, not something AWS offers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's difficult to create a resource that is reliant on other resources; nonetheless, there should be a straightforward way to do it. It's a web-based application that requires a lot of storage to upload files of any size, however this isn't something I completely despise about Microsoft Azure. However, if I may make a suggestion, I would want to propose that you improve your customer service.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Choose this flexible tool, which offers a cloud-based platform with a variety of features and simpler options for building websites and hosting data. Because you benefit from features like high availability, fault tolerance, security and resiliency, auto backups, and point-in-time recovery. Azure solutions are an excellent alternative if you require a cloud solution for your organization.
