Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Microsoft Azure IaaS, PaaS, IoT services for some devices and DevOps. In the IaaS we use hybrid cloud integration, for software development we decided to use DevOps in combination with VisualStudio. For some projects we use the Azure App Services with Azure SQL. Some small projects use the IoT services and we are testing around with the AI tools.
Pros and Cons
  • DevOps is a really powerful tool for software development
  • The PaaS is reliable and fast
  • The IaaS is outstanding, you can use it hybrid
  • The load balancing works well
  • In my opinion, Microsoft Azure's pricing structure is too complex, too many pricing models
  • In my experience, sometimes bad documentation and support
  • In my opinion, the hybrid cloud is too complex
Likelihood to Recommend
Microsoft Azure is an excellent choice for hosting web applications, whether they are simple websites or complex web services. Azure DevOps services provide a comprehensive platform for DevOps practices, automating application development and deployment pipelines. BUT: I think Microsoft Azure's pricing can be complex, and it may not be the most cost-effective option for organizations with tight budget constraints. For very basic static websites, Microsoft Azure's offerings might be seen as overkill.

Return on Investment
