Azure ExpressRoute is super efficient!" 5/5 What do you like best about Azure ExpressRoute? The most helpful thing about Azure Express Route is that it saves time. Instead of having to do research and coming up with marketing, it posts the information that you want people to see about Azure for you! Using Azure expressroute has allowed other people on my LinkedIn profile to read more into Azure and the articles that are shared. Azure Express Route has allowed our team to work and share information as efficiently as possible. It has allowed us to share information on our database from offices in New York to Texas, to United Kingdom, to Japan. During the Pandemic, businesses struggled to find a way for people to work remotely and I feel that Azure express route has created a work environment that is easy and provides the right amount of data and just made for a smooth transition from going into the office all the time to working remotely.

SG Stever Jose G. Senior Service Delivery Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/30/2018 "To solve problems of slowness and security of connection to our data in azurre." 5/5 What do you like best about Azure ExpressRoute? Participate in the management of a project where we migrated the datacenter to azuree and implemented the Azure expressroute for the quick and secure way to access the information in the cloud. High transmission speeds available (50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps). The implementation was quite simple and we had the support of the provider at all times to clarify the doubts we had. High levels of service SLA. Reduce the latency of transactions when searching for information or uploading to azure, example in the project we had a core application that sales executives consulted customer information and that application was uploaded and before using azure expressroute the latency for consulting the info was almost 10 seconds and with the implementation of azure expressroute we managed to lower it to 3 seconds, helping to avoid that specific problem that had generated a lot of noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure ExpressRoute? It has a very high cost, but depending on the type of information in our case it was for core applications of the company turned out to be the best solution. Services are limited for MS Azure & Office 365 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Azure ExpressRoute: If they have latency problems, or secure access to the information they have in azure, it is an expensive solution but it gives us the peace of mind to accelerate the times by improving the performance and security of the private connection to avoid losing data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Azure ExpressRoute solving and how is that benefiting you? Have a private connection between the company and Azure that gives us speed and security of the connection and data. The connections are redundant, which means that we have high availability. Azure expressroute has a limit of simultaneous circuits (10 in total) more than enough, I take it as a non-extraordinary benefit since we can have several circuits with a single subscription and if it requires more than 10 I think you can ask the provider an extension.
