User Testimonials
	Azure Cosmos DB
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Like any NoSQL database, whether it's MongoDB or not, it's best suited for unstructured data. It's also well suited for storing raw data before processing it and performing any type of ETL on the data. Incentivized AJ Tatum Founder Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Scalable Instantly and automatically serverless database for any large scale business. Quick access and response to data queries due to high speed in reading and writing data Create a powerful digital experience for your customers with real-time offers and agile access to DB with super-fast analysis and comparison for best recommendation Incentivized Niloofar Keshvari Nia IT Operations and Support Specialist Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Expensive, so be careful of the use case. We had a thought time migrating from traditional DBs to Cosmos. Azure should provide a seamless platform for the migration of data from on-premises to cloud. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft It's efficient, easy to scale, and works. We do have to do a bit of administration, but less now than when we started with this a couple of years ago. Microsoft continues to improve its self-management capability. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Microsoft It has very good compatibility and adaptability with other APIs and developers can safely create new apps because it is compatible with various tools and can be easily managed and run under the cloud, and in terms of security, it is one of the best of its kind, which is very powerful and excellent.

Support Rating	Microsoft Microsoft is the best when it comes to after-sales support. They have a well-structured training and knowledge base portal that anyone can use. They are usually quick to respond to cases and are on point for on-call support. I have no complaints from a support standpoint. Pretty happy with the support.
