I really like the way we can deploy applications so quickly with Azure. Also we can manage and provision virtual machines very easily with Azure. Microsoft Azure has integrated and brought various services like DocumentDB, EventHubs, Stream analytics , HD Insights and Application insights which provides the best insight and help.

I really like the Azure documentation for developers which even makes it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still expect more platform independency from Azure. Also more support for linux machines. I would also love to see SAAS in Azure. Also I think pricing is high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Azure platform has been growing a lot over the last years. Microsoft is investing a lot on it as a key factor of his cloud business, both for internal and external products. The amount of support that you can find online is continuously growing as more people start to use and gain knowledge on the platform. What I like the most is how Microsoft is continuously pushing new features to its platform, and its fully integration with Visual Studio IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some new features are still on preview, which means that they might not be available as a stable version or you might not found easily support for them.

Moreover, since there are no standards for cloud providers, you are bound to Azure really soon once you start using all his powerful features. This means that if in the future you want to run your solution in another cloud provider, you will need a lot of work. Even tough this is not an Azure-specific problem, I'd like to see a much more portability of solutions between different cloud platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Azure out of the box supports basic needs to start a business application from ground up. It has some limitations for specific cases but with rapid enhancement releases those small constraints are covered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Certain constraints could become annoying, but again those cases are not the mainstream cases.

Hybrid Cloud support is one of those features that was originally suffering from a constraint (only one VPN could have been established by Cloud Service). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of discounts for educational purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love PaaS offering from Azure the most. Moreover, Microsoft has taken the "hybrid" concept and built a great deal of Azure around hybrid concept. Microsoft Azure is right choice for Microsoft shops. Microsoft is investing a lot in bringing more and more capabilities on Azure Platform. Embracing open source, is another loving thing that I never expected Microsoft will go this far with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of any. But Some time find difficult to look for configuration setting it could be because of Azure management portal change look n feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequent Outages of the Azure Platform, We were affected by those outages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've found Azure to be the most developer friendly cloud. It has excellent tools and makes it easy to follow "best practice" (queues, BLOB storage, continuous integration) that are hard to follow with on-premises solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
