Microsoft Azure

The best cloud service

Opmerkingen: It was an excellent solution to us. We use many of its background services: file storage, database housing, is a very good application

Pluspunten:

The platform is very professional and requires good technical knowledge, its free period of use is one year and you just have to pay for it. During the last three decades, due to the obvious advantages of Microsoft in the field of business computer science, Microsoft is quickly updating. Your work is relatively easy. In addition to providing recovery, import and export sites, and Azure backup, Microsoft Azure also provides: storage of blobs blocks and storage of tables, queues and files. It provides flexibility to use Azure Blob to store and recover large amounts of unstructured data, such as multimedia documents and files. Azure Storage can meet your growing data needs and each account can store up to 500 TB of total storage space. A single subscription admits up to 50 storage accounts, which can provide PB of storage space for larger scale plans. If you are creating great sites for consumers or data applications, Azure aims to solve this problem. Azure Storage will automatically copy your data to help prevent unexpected failures and give you the confidence that they will be available when you need them. Three copies of the data are saved in a single area. The geographical redundancy option can create three additional copies to hundreds of kilometers away.

Minpunten:

You must when it is a bit difficult to configure, and some services are not available.

excellent web hosting platform

Opmerkingen: part of our web environment is hosted in azure, we have virtual machines with applications, this has provided us with resources and less internal costs for the purchase of hardware

Pluspunten:

part of what I like the most is using virtual machines, since it is more my area, we currently have an environment where we have several applications, it is very useful and easy to use, excellent product

Minpunten:

For someone who has no knowledge at first it can be a bit difficult, but after you learn you see how easy it is.

Azure has a long way to go

Opmerkingen: Azure is developing itself continuously and I believe it will be better in the future.

Pluspunten:

I gave 5 stars to its features and functionality because Azure really tries hard to stay competitive in the market and it has most of the features that a cloud provider should offer. We use Azure to provide our services to our customers that work with Microsoft. What I like the most about Azure is its AI tools. Azure is really successful when it comes to machine learning.

Minpunten:

I will be a little bit cruel about Customer Support and Ease of Use. We work with Azure as CSP partners. One day we had a problem with one of our servers and I couldn't even reach to support team to get help. Later I learned that since we are CSP partners we cannot directly get in touch with Azure team. Instead we should contact our local dealer to get support. It is tiring to involve bureaucracy to IT when all I wanted was to mount a disk to another server. Be very careful when you test the servers. You will be charged for a full hour even if you keep the server alive for 5 minutes. If you do not want to delete a resource accidentally you must lock it. I learned this lock feature from our local distributor but Azure should force you to take such cautions by putting the option directly to the interface. Maybe a little checkbox saying "Do you want to lock your resource?" would be nice. The interface should be more user friendly. It is really complicated for the beginners. The partial windows that open in each step is confusing. It will be easier without the split structure.

Azure is loosing against other cloud players

Pluspunten:

Compatibility with Microsoft products and deployment of Microsoft solutions

Minpunten:

Complexity, price, is not so easy when you try to use other products than Microsoft

MS Azure, a complete catalog for I4.0 tools.

Opmerkingen: Good experience if you need to know what tools you have in the catalog in case you need to implement a big project.

Pluspunten:

The catalog for analytics tools is pretty big, you can integrate various solutions to the default tools

Minpunten:

The prices you need to pay are also high, taking on account that if you need to deploy a prototype the ROI will be low.
