Azure Portal Reviews & Product Details

It provides a clean interface to interact with all your resources on cloud as well as on-premesis. The UI is neat and easy to work with and the search bar is interactive and helpful.

The overall refresh pace of the resources may take a while to load on the portal but it's self-healing. The azure cloud is one of the biggest market share among the cloud providers and is at par with competitive pricing compared to GCP and AWS. It also has strong integration and migration workflows from other cloud platforms like VMWare which makes it easier to move to Azure. The support is best in class and the AI capabilities are ever evolving and the innovation continues at Microsoft on the lines of edge computing and Foundry models becoming better and better.

The Azure Portal provides a centralized and user friendly interface to manage all Azure resources in one place. It makes it easy to navigate across services like VMs, networking, storage, and identity without needing to rely entirely on CLI or scripts. The UI is well organized, and features like dashboards, resource groups, and tagging make it easier to manage large environments.

I also like how it integrates tightly with the rest of the Azure ecosystem, from Entra ID and monitoring tools to cost management and RBAC. The built in visualizations, metrics, and activity logs are very useful for quick troubleshooting and operational visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The portal can feel slow at times, especially when managing large environments or navigating between resource heavy pages. Some features are buried deep in menus, making certain configurations harder to find. There can also be inconsistencies between the Portal, CLI, and ARM/Terraform features, where some capabilities appear in one interface but not others yet. For repetitive tasks, relying only on the UI can become inefficient compared to automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like its integrated interface and monitoring tools. I also value its role management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is overwhelming and too complex for new users, especially at the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using azure portal we can access every services that provided by microsoft like entra id, defender for cloud and sentinel etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i oftenly use defender for cloud and it gives us recommendations about the VM's configuration that we never enabled that features in our enviroment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The catalog of services offered is incredible: databases, virtual machines (VMs), storage, serverless computing services, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The portal interface is not always the most intuitive, and sometimes it's a bit difficult to find what you're looking for or to move through the different sections. I think the user experience could be improved to make navigation clearer and simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using the Azure portal for the last 3 years, and I can say 100% that the kind of brilliant, easy-to-use UI Azure provides is something I haven’t seen elsewhere. Beyond that, Azure’s features and services are strong, and the support is very quick. On top of that, the Copilot feature in Azure is also one of the best things, because you just need to provide a prompt and Azure guides you through all the steps, also to find pricing of any resources is very easy as azure provides azure pricing website which helps to identify which service and tier should be beneficial for you.

Some of the services are too costly, and I don’t think every company can afford them. For example, the AI services feel especially expensive. Apart from that, one more thing that irritates me a little is that sometimes it keeps logging me out when I leave it idle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Azure Portal has unified dashboards where I can manage everything for VMs, databases, network, and storages in one place. The role-based access control (RBSE) makes it easy to assign permissions and manage security for teams. The built-in dashboards and alerts are great for tracking resources and performance. I appreciate the cost management tools with integrated cost analysis and budget features that help prevent overspending. The seamless connection with Azure DevOps is another plus, allowing us to run CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments. Also, it's globally available, which is handy for managing resources across multiple regions from a single portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the performance and responsiveness of Azure Portal. The portal can feel slow when loading or switching between services, especially for big subscriptions. Also, there are so many services available that it can become overwhelming to find what I need. Even though there's a search bar, the global search sometimes returns too many unrelated results. The mobile version of the portal lacks some features and feels less optimized compared to the desktop version. Additionally, the error messages could be improved with more actionable troubleshooting guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Azure portal provides a singular way to manage your compute and server resources under the Microsoft product lines. It links you to the most commonly used entities and allows for quick navigation and access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The information at times at Azure portal could easily get overwhelming. They should provide a more intuitive application type of view where specific service access and use is focused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Azure Portal is how easy it is to manage different services in one place. I can switch between Databricks, Storage Accounts, Key Vault, ADF, and monitoring tools without needing separate logins or setups. The UI is clean and makes it simple to check resource health, logs, permissions, and costs. It helps a lot during deployments because everything is visible and traceable. The search bar is a lifesaver when you don’t remember where something is. Overall, it feels like a dashboard that keeps everything organized and easy to work with day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside for me is that some sections load slowly, especially when working with heavier resources like Databricks or ADF monitors. A few settings are buried so deep that you spend time clicking around just to find one small option. Sometimes the layout changes after updates, which confuses users. When there are many resources in a subscription, the portal can feel a bit cluttered. And for some operations, you still need to switch to CLI or PowerShell because the portal doesn't support everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
