"Microsoft Azure : The best cloud services platform in the market."

I like Microsoft Azure Comprehensive cloud services. It has a lot of features and we use them on daily basis. The solution is very easy to use and implementation is also easy. The customer support is also quick and responsive.Strong security and compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

I dont like the limitations with other operating systems like its more focused on windows os. Frequent changes and updates makes it difficult for us to cope up with the compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Azure Kubernetes Service is really great orchestration tool I ever used."
What do you like best about Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)?

The best thing about AKS are:

1. It is easy to create and manage as compared to EKS, GKE, or other orchestration tools.

2. The secret store csi driver is yet another best feature to integrate keyvault with aks to manage confidential secrets.

3. We can integrate ACR with AKS just by providing the ACRPull role to the AKS managed identity is also a great feature as we don't need to secret imagePullSecret for that.

4. We can seamlessly manage cluster autoscaling for high availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)?

Well overall AKS is one of my favourite orchestration tool but there are some disadvantages as well:

1. There's lot of headache while upgrading the cluster to the new Kubernetes version.

2. We cannot use tools like karpenter to reduce the cost consumption of AKS.

3. There's no such support for spot nodes eviction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloud! The Future"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Switching to Microsoft Azure from our On-Premise environment has been one of the best decisions of our Organisation. Its easy to understand and implement features has been the highlight for me. Along with this, the customer support of Microsoft Azure is available 24/7 either via chat, email or even a phone call. In my work, I have to use Microsoft Azure on a daily basis. Initially it was scary to switch to cloud but Microsoft Azure has helped us to easily integrate our work to cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

There's actually not much to dislike about the Microsoft Azure, but if I had to choose something that could be made better is the cost which Microsoft charges. Although all the cost is justified by the product, but it is still not easy for small business to afford this cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft Azure: a sophisticated cloud solution"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The plenty amount of features mingled with great customer service are the best things about Microsoft Azure. It's solutions for data management like blobs and data factories are among the features that I use the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The UI can be a bit confusing to navigate for a novice user. Also the pricing is on a higher end when compared to other cloud solutions providers. Also it keeps on suggesting to use RBACs and other azure managed features to increase the security score which eventually leads to increase in cost. These are the few things that I dislike about azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft Azure The user friendly platform, Review"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The Overall User Interface of Microsoft Azure is what suits my style of working and I really like the tools offered by it. All the AI and ML offerings from azure is really useful and the integrations of these are done in an excellent way making the workflow smooth. The website is really easy to use and interactive with the person using it. This is all i like about Microsoft Azure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The thing that I dislike about Microsoft Azure is for sure the time to learn all the tools and offerings from its side. Someone with some knowledge can take sometime to get used to its vast offerings and tools. The pricing for some tools is also steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to get started with Kubernetes in Azure"
What do you like best about Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)?

- Managed Service. It takes care of masters, nodes, etcd storage and everything. No need to create the infra needed; AKS service automatically takes care of it.

- We use it to host our infrastructure - compute, memory and it helps us in autoscaling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)?

- It does not support custom docker images. So while pulling the image, if it's integrated, the pull time takes less. However, due to the lack of this support, it takes longer for the pods to come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
