"Overall satisfaction with Azure VM"
4/5
What do you like best about Azure Virtual Machines?

We use Azure VMs for 2 main reasons. The first one, is when we need to do a lift&shift from on-prem to the cloud, where the main purpose is to migrate a system as-is to the cloud before restructuring it. Many presets are available when spinning up a new instances to match you workload, instead of having to start from scratch.

VM Scale sets makes it really easy to scale in & out the VMs easily

When getting started, no need to manage a networking layer before starting a new instance, no need for any VPC complexitites, as Azure handles it.

VM Firewall and security rules can be managed directly from the Azure interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Virtual Machines?

Slightly more expensive that other cloud provider VMs. The spin up time is a little longer as well. Even a few seconds count when you need to scale up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
