Azure Service **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Azure Service Bus?** Obviously, Microsoft has products that go beyond the portal itself. The value to the reader is getting a deep understanding of exactly where all the capabilities can be found on the portal. Often we hear of the capabilities of Azure but it is rarely mapped directly to the Azure portal. By learning about Azure through the portal you will have a clear idea of where to go to get the capabilities you need. As you now, Azure is constantly evolving so this just represents a snapshot in time. I will do my best to keep this updated moving forward **What do you dislike about Azure Service Bus?** Not user friendly at first for those who are incompetent with computer software. I also experienced lag and delay issues. **What problems is Azure Service Bus solving and how is that benefiting you?** any companies need built-in support for a relational database. They also don’t want to spin up (provision) a VM and install SQL Server or MySQL. Luckily, as you’ll read more later, you will learn that both SQL Server and MySQL are offered as a service. This dramatically simplifies management of sophisticated web sites that have a database back-end. ### 2.
