Simplified InfraStructure, Businesses of all sizes rely on Azure, includes more than 1,800 models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Virtual Machines?

Speed can be an issue for some businesses, Because opening a cloud account is a fairly simple process today, an empowered individual with spending responsibilities could approve a Microsoft Azure account without the business or ownership approving of the action in the first place. Although 90% of Fortune 500 companies are using Azure, it may not be the right value offering for every business, especially some startups or new SMBs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you need a lot of bandwidth and storage with growing websites and large images etc, this can cause a spike in expenses. Things like web servers are best not to use this infrastruture. Outside of this I love just about everything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Public cloud VM review"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure Virtual Machines?

I recently spun up a bunch of VMs for testing a demo on Kubeflow. Used Canonical Juju and charmed kubeflow for the demo, ran pretty smoothly like in any VM. Its very easy to use and integration with databases and other services was seemless too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Virtual Machines?

Not much to dislike about it, or public clouds in general, the pricing is a bit too much for using GPUs. I was running my demo on A100 on azure and it costed me around 750 usd for a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
