What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

Ease of Use, Low Cost

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For a small to medium IT department whose core mission is to maintain basic IT services like AD, DNS, and some Apps, there is no better choice than Azure since it can integrate really easily to already existing resources like windows 10 machines, SharePoint, .NET Apps, teams, and office 365, allowing a progressive and smooth transition of many of those services to the cloud. Many other cloud providers are better and cheaper at offering virtual machines but the bread of managed services Azure provides and how those integrate with each other, I have not seen in any other cloud provider, and for us, the use of managed services has made all the d

What do you dislike most about this product?

Since it's is fast-evolving technology, pricing and capabilities had changed a couple of times causing an increase in cost in most cases.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

A preferable product

  • Generous Negotitation
  • Over Delivered

Nothing I can think to dislike Microsoft Azure.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I will surely recommend azure as it is fully charged up team with good potential and offered services
