The major feature of Azure is compounding all the resources and configurations under a single window is one of the best features. Most of the tasks while deploying can be taken care by Azure itself.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

I like the way the different tools are positioned in the dashboard and it is very easy to navigate from one tool to other. I also like the way the project management tool and the repo are connected in a such beautiful way ,it easy for developer to trace back issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

I wasn’t so impressed by its unknown error things. Sometimes it keeps giving me an issue specifically saying when we have a conflict in the Pull request, I'm not able to scroll through the screen asking me to reload the page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm a full-time remote employee of my company and struggled with timeless working hours because the task management and project management were so poor. My Employer decided to use Azure and the project management tool, now I can see the tasks I have to complete within the time-bound. Now I can say goodbye to my system once the assigned task is completed. Traditional on-premise solutions are reaching the point where they are no longer cost-effective for clients due to the increasing expenses associated with equipment maintenance. Azure offers a compelling solution by taking care of a wide range of services. The most advantageous aspect is that you have full control over how you want to use Azure. Whether you opt for Azure Firewall or decide to transition your physical servers into Azure Virtual Machines, you have the flexibility to choose. From that point onward, Microsoft assumes the responsibility for keeping them operational and powered, freeing you from those concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
