Microsoft Azure enabled us to simplify data collection from forms and contracts and transfer it to all supporting applications with high efficiency.
Pros
I liked how Microsoft Azure recognizes all types of documents, I liked how it accurately transfers data from them and keeps it organized without errors. I liked the logs that include all the entries and document the original document and the data collected from it. I liked the efficiency of Microsoft Azure in integrating with any other application, to transfer data to it seamlessly.
Cons
Data extraction using Microsoft Azure is very fast, and I did not encounter any crashes.

Bad, I couldn't get anything working due to errors constantly telling me I had missed weird items when setting up systems. When I tried to close the account that was just as hard. I needed CHATGPT to help me close as the help was no good.
Pros
I thought this would be a platform that a business owner could use to drive their small business but wrong was I.
Cons
The platform was so complicated, I was unable to use. Over time I found I was being charged for resources I had not started directly. Why we can't have a simple system for cloud computing that asks for disk, CPU and Memory plus O/S I don't understand. This is not user friendly unless you are from a technical background. I have been in IT over 20 years and was lost.

Cons
Pricing packages are expensive if you don't use Azure aligned resources. Postgres Databases cost more for hosting than Azure SQL which is strange since one is open source and the other licensed on prem.

My experience with Microsoft Azure has been highly positive. It’s a powerful cloud solution that provides flexibility and reliability for both small projects and enterprise-level applications.
Pros
What I liked most about Microsoft Azure is its seamless integration with other Microsoft services and the vast range of tools for developers. The platform’s scalability and global reach are impressive.
Cons
What I liked least was the initial learning curve for navigating some of the advanced features, but the extensive documentation helps overcome this quickly.

Azure has been a smooth experience for us, the GUI is user-friendly and easy to understand. Setting up a virtual machine is made so easy nowadays. I feel like Azure has everything a business can need. We were worried about the cloud performance but the performance is just great.
Pros
One of the standout features of Microsoft Azure is its comprehensive suite of services, covering everything from computing and storage to AI and machine learning. Its scalability and flexibility empower businesses to tailor solutions to their specific needs, all supported by Microsoft's robust security and global infrastructure.
Cons
While Microsoft Azure offers a vast array of services, its complexity can be daunting for newcomers. Navigating the numerous features and understanding their interactions requires a steep learning curve. Additionally, occasional downtime or service disruptions, albeit infrequent, can disrupt operations, highlighting the importance of robust backup and contingency plans.

I have had good expereince using Microsoft Azure. Because of the great strength and flexibility of its cloud services, it is my preferred choice for creating and implementing applications. Azure's performance, dependability, and integration possibilities make it a significant tool for both small and large-scale projects, despite its learning curve.
Pros
The wide range of services offered by Microsoft Azure are what I find most interesting. As a developer, what i value most is its smooth connection with different tools, such as Visual Studio and GitHub, because it simplifies deployment and testing. Azure has excellent scalability capabilities that make it easy for applications to handle increasing workloads. It is also perfect for enterprise-level projects due to its excellent compliance.
Cons
The pricing of service is one drawback, as it can be load, particularly for smaller jobs. Because of the intricacy of the platform, it can be overwhelming to navigate through all of the services accessible, especially for newbies.

We've been around MS Azure since day 1 and developed 100s of systems running perfectly on Azure for years. The first systems where hosted internally and had their issues so cloud computing make it simpler. Azure work 7x24 more or less and not seen downtime of a second even in the last years. Will continue to expand!

We switched from having classic Active Directory on site, to Azure Active Directory in the cloud. The GUI is a little daunting at first, but eventually becomes easy to use after the initial learning curve. It's a lot more modern of a design, rather than using classic AD's old and archaic design. Azure is the future of Active Directory.
Pros
I love that Microsoft Azure provides all of the same functionality of classic Active Directory, and more, but in the cloud. It makes migrating and digitalizing your infrastructure very easy.
Cons
I definitely did not like some aspects of the GUI. It can be very daunting to a new administrator and even a little difficult if you have experience. But as with anything else, practice makes progress. You will eventually get the hang of it and will know where all your frequently used areas are located.
