"Efficient and Reliable: Azure SQL Database Delivers Outstanding Performance"
What do you like best about Azure SQL Database?

Relational databases, NoSQL databases, and in-memory databases are just a few of the database formats supported by Azure Databases. Automatic scaling, high availability, and disaster recovery are additional features for scale-based data management. We can select the plans based on the needs of the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure SQL Database?

The expense of the plans is the only dislike I have. It would be great if the cost is lesser than that of now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Database with a great flexibility"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure Databases?

Most helpful feature about using Microsoft Azure Database is it's flexibility in terms of usage and features. Nice UI too and UX is amazing. You never stumble upon things inside it, Just keep going, you will surely love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure Databases?

Downsides of using Microsoft Azure Database is not very straight forward to say, Although I found a few bugs like, while filtering queries through the result data, sometimes it is unable to filter a particular value, if it has a plus (+) sign in it, otherwise it's okay.

"Azure is the Best among all cloud computing Providers"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Azure is a complete platform for building, deploying and managing applications and cloud services. You get all the features you need with the Azure PaaS & SaaS platform with a range of pricing options that make it easy to cherry-pick the required cloud offering for your business. AlsoAzure cloud is back with up to 99.99% SLA & the Microsoft name you can trust. From individual learning paths in Azure to outstanding customer service, Azure has it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Azure sometimes has excessive and mandatory steps such as security defaults, multifactor authentication, and PII information which sometimes feel a bit excessive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Azure DB sync with it's service easily"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure Databases?

Most of the services that Azure provides are easy to use just like databases and services sync with others services easily and also they have provided some training and documents to use in effective way, thanks for making awesome UI as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure Databases?

Nothing as such but query time should be optimised for SQLi mean it should be reduced so that it can be used easily without any delay to reduce latency of the services or solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Cloud Platform"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Azure cloud is very versatile and scalable and caters to any customer requirement without any problem, I use azure cloud daily on different scales and with other customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Azure cloud needs to improve on web hosting and is slightly behind AWM when it comes to web hosting and app hosting. Also could include a free tier as well for the customers starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft Azure - the best cloud platform for your SAP eco system!"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Among all prominent cloud service providers like AWS, GCP and Azure, when it comes to integrating with the SAP ecosystem, Azure seems to be the front-runner! It's Azure Data Factory based framework to integrate with SAP ECC and SAP S/4; SAP BW/4HANA is among the most seamless integration available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

While Microsoft Azure provides the best data integration options with SAP ECC, SAP S/4, and SAP BW/4HANA in the Cloud ecosystem, there is still a scope to make it more robust and full-proof considering the SAP backend data is not always straightforward, and you need to understand it before you can play with it. So not exactly a dislike but an area where it can excel further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Business Critical tier of Azure SQL database has point in time restore"
What do you like best about Azure SQL Database?

Scalability (can do auto-scaling when there is a need for more storage), High Availability and Disaster Recovery for business-critical tier, Security, and Performance if you tune the database properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure SQL Database?

The cost is high, there is limited control comparing to on-prem, and we have to do tuning to get the best out of the sql database and it is not so straightforward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great ecosystem that just works"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure Databases?

You have multiple options based on your use cases and it all works. You just need to know when to use what. There's the commonly used Sql Server(which is now hosted on cloud), then you have Sql Warehouses, that they renamed to Synapse and added a whole lot of great functionalities which is appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure Databases?

Their constant renaming and rebranding of stuff is just mind-boggling. Sql warehouses became Azure Synapse. If you ask anyone what Synapse is, they will give you an answer different from another answer that you might get and both of them would be correct. MS just needs to name their products correctly and stick to it without any redundancies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
