"Nice for video sharing"
What do you like best about Azure Media Services?

Azure has become quite popular around the web and is offering quite a few services. Azure Media Services does now allow to upload and share all kind of media, from videos to audio, images, etc. It can be used with both business and personal accounts, including Microsoft Family, hence allowing to share either with coworkers or with family members. This significantly increases the scope of what can be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Media Services?

Competition is quite big and there are a lot of services similar to Azure. For example Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. While they do not offer the same possibilities and options as Azure Media Services, they are free and should be sufficient for most users. Azure Media is really only for those who need professional media and streaming services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid platform for media management, but with certain limitations"
What do you like best about Azure Media Services?

If one word describes this software is "adaptable." Not only does it feature dynamic adaptive streaming, which does an excellent job of choosing the appropriate bitrate needed depending on browser and other needs, but it adapts to your business needs by only paying for what you need. The price is very competitive and the software is fairly easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Media Services?

It feels a bit half-baked, while the platform itself is rather good, it's not particularly stable and needs some improvement. As of 2019, it feels as if the "Azure" umbrella has been left behind by Microsoft in order for them to focus in newer, better services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mostly is included with other Azure services purchased"
What do you like best about Azure Media Services?

we really never cared how much data we let employees upload to services like Stream because AMS offered so much space to us. it was also very easy to manage. some features are missing but thats what you get with cloud solutions, less customizations but more space. we're in the process of testing large video streming to 1000s of employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Media Services?

for such a cloud solution you can tell there some lack of stability. Microsoft always does that. they work on a product but don't develop it all the way. You can find a number of bugs but won't be fixed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great outsourcing for media use"
What do you like best about Azure Media Services?

This program can help assist with any organization task necessary for you to help keep all of your tasks in one place. Makes easy sensible instructions. Makes media usage easy and right at your fingertips. Keeps me where I need to be in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Media Services?

it a bit difficult to use and I feel it should be just a bit more user friendly. Needs to have some tabs that help direct you in the correct places as you go through the program. Could use some extra tabs and files for a bit more organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Azure Media Player: Stream on Multiple devices with just One player"
What do you like best about Azure Media Services?

Microsoft Azure Media Services allows for content to be served up with DASH, Smooth Streaming and HLS streaming formats to playback content. Azure Media Player takes into account these various formats and automatically plays the best link based on the platform/browser capabilities. Azure Media Services also allows for dynamic encryption of assets with common encryption (PlayReady or Widevine) or AES-128 bit envelope encryption. It can be easily integrated into web and app solutions and gives you integrated content protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Media Services?

Azure Media Player only supports media streams from Azure Media Services, hence outside streams are not allowed here.Flash Fallback features are not available on this tech due to platform restrictions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Other similar applications that can do as much if not more as this one. It really becomes a choice of personal preference on which one you like for ease of use, format, and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
