"a super efficient cloud computing system"

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

IaaS (Azure) systems transport your company's processing capacity from your data center or office to the cloud, in contrast to SaaS platforms where the end-user is consuming information (for instance, Office 365). Azure requires specialized management and upkeep, including server monitoring and patching, just like the majority of cloud service providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"While the product is great I still feel it lacks in performance and community help."

"LearnMySqlWithAzure"
What do you like best about Database as a Service (DBaaS)?

When it comes to databases, I think everyone has started their SQL skills with MYSQL. When I was learning databases, I have worked on the MySQL platform, and it was an excellent experience, and literally, I enjoyed doing it. And now, when we are doing multiple things with the Azure platform, and yes, it is providing various types of databases to us, MYSQL is one of them; I'm personally very much satisfied with this. To work with Azure MYSQL, there is no issue of security, it is very easy going. For me, it is very easy to understand, learn and one can become an expert with this. And also all this is available with cloud facilities which makes more suitable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Database as a Service (DBaaS)?

I personally didn't face any issue with this. So, for me, it's a complete package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
