Azure Virtual Machines Reviews & Product Details

Azure Virtual Machines offer great flexibility, stability, and integration across the entire Azure ecosystem. Creating VMs is extremely easy, and templates/SKU options help in optimizing cost vs performance. Features like Availability Sets, Scale Sets, Azure Backup, Update Management, and Azure Monitor make lifecycle management smooth and automated.

Performance has been very consistent, especially with newer VM families. Integration with Azure AD and RBAC improves security and governance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing can become confusing, especially with storage, network bandwidth, and licensing components. Support for issues sometimes takes longer than expected. Additionally, importing/exporting large VMs between regions can be time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AVM plays a significant role in my organization, especially since we handle sensitive client information. To ensure security, most of our employees log in to AVM. We have set up Dell Thin Clients and enabled AVD access for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Microsoft Azure is its extensive range of integrated services and the flexibility it provides for businesses of all sizes. The platform makes it easy to scale resources up or down as needed, ensuring cost efficiency while maintaining performance. Azure’s global data center presence is also a major plus, allowing for faster service delivery and high availability. Additionally, its seamless integration with Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft tools makes it extremely convenient for organizations already in the Microsoft ecosystem. The security and compliance features are top-notch, which gives us confidence when handling sensitive data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like these things about Azure the most :-

1.It Feels Like Home for Windows Users.If you’ve grown up with Windows, Office, or Active Directory, Azure feels like a natural extension of that ecosystem.

2.Unlike some cloud providers that push you to go "all-in," Azure understands that many businesses can’t (or don’t want to) abandon their on-prem servers overnight.

3.Even though it’s a Microsoft product, Azure plays nice with Linux, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and even competitors like Oracle Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Basic support is lacking. Unless you pay for Premier/Enterprise, expect slow responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
