Azure Virtual Machines Reviews & Product Details

It is very easy to use and allows you to save the information in another site for a better backup, it is what I like the most because if there is a failure, the information is completely compatible. It can be accessed with any device you decide to use, including your cell phone. It allows me to give different levels of access to my co-workers to know who is doing and look at what, the infrastructure as a service allows you to free up time and resources up to that point destined to maintain your own infrastructure, to direct them to tasks of greater value for your business, among others.

What I like least about the product is that tech support could have been a little better with billing and account transfers. Was a little difficult transferring the services from one work account to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Ease of spinning a VM and Based plans makes on the go deployment easy.

Need to reboot VM for applying some changes or settings, for example there is no hot adding or removing NICs need to stop VM before doing it. Some times it is not possible to perform VM resize from some VM sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure is certainly the new Microsoft. Managing resources on Azure is very easy. Even a complete azure beginner (with basic cloud knowledge) will be able to get started in 10-15 mins. The cost is much more effective compared to AWS. Their instances are always reliable. Customer Service is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I currently use Linux Virtual machines to deploy my apps and Blob Storage for storage needs. Experimenting with CosmosDB now. No bad experiences so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the different pricing tiers as it makes it confusing to know what I am getting and what I'm not getting for the price I pay, in addition to what do I need to pay for and what is just a luxury. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works very well with some mission critical solutions that I am running. Scalable and easy to add instances Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit on the expensive side compared to mid tier providers. Not as customizable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best features of Azure VMs are: Quick deployment and the ability to make quick changes on the fly.

There are also good features surrounding backup, although it is currently quite rudimentary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the fact that to make some storage changes, VMs need to be powered down.

Availability Groups and some other features have to be considered right from the planning stage and cannot be added later on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The capability to deploy a Sharepoint server was particularly useful for my client. The solution integrated perfectly with the existing Microsoft-heavy client IT system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been stability issues with Azure recently. This reduces certainty for clients. Microsoft should upgrade/update shortly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
