Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Azure Compute solving and how is that benefiting you? The major problem is security , we want a dedicated security team to investigate how our azure environment is protected. In case of any vm issue ,the diagnose page will give the solution for the same but it recommends it own tools , instead it can give a clear cut solution will be better. And also the monitoring is not granular , we need to dependent on prometheus or any other monitoring tool to get the granular data. We have integrated our prometheus & vrops tools to monitor azure .
