What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of services, from virtual machines to storage and networking. It stands out from other similar products because of its comprehensive suite of services, its scalability, and its ability to integrate with existing on-premises systems. Additionally, Azure provides a secure and reliable environment, allowing businesses to confidently store and manage their data.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of Microsoft Azure products is their ability to provide a comprehensive suite of cloud services. Azure offers a wide range of services, including virtual machines, storage, databases, analytics, networking, and many more. With Azure, I can build, deploy, and manage applications and services in the cloud, allowing me to scale up or down depending on my needs.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I find that one of the things I dislike most about Microsoft Azure products is the lack of features compared to other cloud computing platforms. For example, Azure does not have the same level of scalability or flexibility as other cloud providers, making it difficult to customize the platform for specific needs.

Youngest Blood in Cloud Providers
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
Azure is the most feature rich and broadest functionality cloud. Being a new contender in the cloud provider world, it has researched the pros and cons of every other cloud provider and provided what other clouds lack of. This results in some of the functionalities so thought out and feature specfic to user need.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Since many of the customers have a huge infra running on Windows and Azure having the most native support for windows helps easy-to-use migration strategies. Moreover being feature-rich in all the aspects of cloud, a professional cloud user will be able to implement the most niche solutions with ease.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The documentation is certainly something which lacks as per compare to its rich features. I have found most of the documentation either too complex or too random. Moreover being a new contender in the cloud world, it also has less community forums and discussions which might cause tracking in case stuck on an issue.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are profession cloud user and have experience of at least 2 years in Cloud, then Azure would be the best bet to move your infrastructure to. Moreover cost wise also Azure is more cheaper as compared to its alternatives. Also make sure to go for premium support initially during migration since it helps keep the wheel moving faster and issues can be solved much quicker with support as community forums are still building.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Security Protects
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
Cons
- Vendor Friendly Policies
- Vendor's Interest First
- Under Delivered

What do you dislike most about this product?
The pricing options are not a lot flexible and in some cases it ends up costing more than other similar options(providers).
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is a great cloud service provider which offers a lot of different services which might be unique and help you build the project much easily. Give it a try and know for yourself.
