"Azure SQL DataBase"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The best thing about Azure SQL Database is that it supports a broad range of applications and workloads. It also has the provision to scale our database quickly. Also, the built-in availability of SLA, dynamic scaling, and automatic performance are extremely useful.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Something that I absolutely dislike about Azure SQL Database is that you cannot use Windows authentication. Also, the lack of an SQL agent makes completing time-specific tasks very complicated. Also,It would be great if Microsoft can develop a more user-friendly UI for migration to SQL server.

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

Managing entire enterprise data is very convenient through Azure SQL Database. I use it for most of the database management functions such as upgrading, patching, backups, and monitoring without user involvement. It helps in improving efficiency and accuracy to a great extent.

"Extremely lucid and beneficial"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

HI, I have been using Amazon virtual machines since 2013 . Its a very novel product very usefull to IT techies to test products and add more servers when we need more for handling traffic. I had my SQL , ERP, CRM servers on them also worked to the best. As for budget. Boy its good. only pay for the use. Like fire up use and close. Only pay for the usage.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

the bad part is if it had a cut off or auto shutdown with time or date would have been nice. as sometimes if some one forgets to log out and shutdown he is kept on billing.

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

I use them as my Backup servers and also as my production.

"A nice integration with state of the art and latest techniques open source database postgres"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The power of postgresql is multiplied with the scale of azure One click solution to enable azure database in my project Integration with all azure products including azure cloudshell and azure vm

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

It is not clear how data encryption at rest and in transit is supported Takes some time to provision It is not clear how my data is replicated under the hood and how many data centers do my data live It would be benefical to have an URL that I can connect to the database via HTTPs with my certificate to manage using my existing commandline tools instead of having to go to the Azure web site to manage the Azure db for postgresql.

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

Store database of alerts Query database of alerts in time series windows Send notification across sites using a single postgresql database on azure

"Efficiency in the team and dynamism"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

1. It saves time in efficiency in falls and backups, since my supplier company is well equipped to solve any problem that happens 2. Rapid implementation of software already tested by many users 3. Great ability to customize applications and their configuration 4. Automatic updates that are very fast and effective arising from the experience of many users

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Disadvantages 1. Vulnerability of the privacy of our data, access with security managers and https protocols reduce the danger.

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

The investment in physical machines and the maintenance they entail have been simplified. The configuration process has been streamlined and has allowed us to adapt our systems to our needs with complete flexibility. I can also monitor the performance and predict if it is necessary to scale or not our machines.

"Azure Linux VM could be very useful to any organisation :)"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The following are the few points which I like the most about this tool: - Highly customizable - Easy to Use - Easy to Setup, provided the user needs to go through the steps available on its website ( just during the first attempt. ) - Highly Secure

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

The most important thing which I don't like about this product is its cost, it is expensive and cheaper alternatives are available in the market. Another point which could be improved is its user interface, for a beginner it could be difficult to remember all the sub options available.

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

We deploy our product on the Azure Linux Virtual Machines and offer these machines for development/testing purposes to all the members of our team. This product plays an important role in achieving Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment.

"Azure makes PostgreSQL database setup fairly easy"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Before using Azure for PostgreSQL, I am sure an architect or developer has already done some research and chosen PostgreSQL for some reasons. PostgreSQL is open source making it an easy choice for many researchers or low budget development. It is one of the most advanced databases, and has for sure stood the test of time. It has a great community that supports and maintains its integrity. Azure Database for PostgreSQL is simply the deployment of PostgreSQL database on the Azure cloud. It's as simple as logging onto the Azure database portal and creating a new PostgreSQL database instance. You can add database owners, and set up security procedures for your database.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

PostgreSQL is a relational database, and if you are storing data as documents or objects it might be more efficient performance-wise to use a No SQL database such as MongoDB.

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

Open source database used to store customer requirements.

"Good performance but quite expensive"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

I can use the portal to create a container, no need to worry about provisioning virtual machines to host the container or installing software. Instances can be created with a single-line PowerShell command and will be up-and-running in minutes. Azure Container Instances also support container groups.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Not yet possible to attach them to an Azure virtual network. Running an instance 24/7 will be more expensive than running a virtual machine of the same size. More expensive than Amazon Container Service, which has been the most popular.

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

I tried to use Azure Container Instances to run a large database system. It has high performance.
