Microsoft Cloud option

AWS is the most stable cloud options but Azure has done well in last few years and provides good options specifically for Microsoft customers and who are more familiar with Microsoft technologies like WINDOWS, MS SQL SERVER, GITHUB, VISUAL STUDIO etc. Google cloud is more suitable for customers with Innovation capabilities like creating BIG DATA and using AI/ML to get insight from it

Azure is an ideal platform for disaster recovery and backup. It is very flexible because of its site regeneration capabilities and other features. All of our data can be backup, regardless of the language or operating system. Azure’s inherent flexibility comes from its status as a cloud-based platform. Microsoft Azure now has more integrations than ever, so many global brands use it. More security and backup means more trust in your work and more flexibility.

Remote accessibility for the mass people from the different places where both free and premium service is available that's why people choose Microsoft Azure. The main reason of switching from that to Microsoft Azure is the cost of operation and operating flexibility. The management of server is complex from the both developer end and user end.

Microsoft Azure is a Class Unto Itself

AWS and Azure are distinct classes, regardless of how we view them or which sub-areas. Their capabilities are the most comprehensive and sophisticated. Azure will benefit existing Microsoft customers, but AWS has a slight market share advantage. Microsoft Azure offers many integrations and options. Most of the world's largest companies use it, giving them security and confidence in their work.

Title For MS Azure

MS Azure Practical Use!
Ease of use. Multiple Data centers across the globe. Load management. Backup and recovery options.
I would say that Azure stacks up pretty good and sometimes better in comparison to what Google Cloud Platform has to offer. I don't like GCP for its absurd licensing fees and it's expensive for just Using EC2 Instances. However, DigitalOcean and AWS can offer far better scalability and ease of use than Azure. Also, they are dirt cheap for what they offer.

Microsoft Azure has it all
Because Microsoft Azure has more integrations and possibilities. Also most of the biggest companies are using it, so it gives the security and the back up to trust and work with confidence.
- AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Google Cloud Operations Suite (formerly Stackdriver)
As I continue to evaluate the "big three" cloud providers for our clients, I make the following distinctions, though this gap continues to close. AWS is more granular, and inherently powerful in the configuration options compared to [Microsoft] Azure. It is a "developer" platform for cloud. However, Azure PowerShell is helping close this gap. Google Cloud is the leading containerization platform, largely thanks to it building kubernetes from the ground up. Azure containerization is getting better at having the same storage/deployment options.

Azure provides a great service, particularly for companies with an existing Microsoft investment.
- Oracle Cloud Platform and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)
We actually utilized multiple cloud stacks, depending upon the customer environment and need. Those that heavily used MS products (Office on-prem or 365), Teams, etc, found it a better fit, with easier integration, for their needs.

Cloud is Commoditized, but Azure Stands Out
The most common alternatives are Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. AWS is known for its non-existent customer support and abysmal documentation - Azure is clearly better on both fronts. Google Cloud Platform is a solid product, but in my experience Azure Functions is generally better than Google Cloud Functions.
Integration with other Microsoft products makes Azure stand out quite a bit. However, if you need to use open source software and to integrate with Linux systems then AWS or Google Cloud might be better alternatives. Google did not even come close to Azure in terms of capabilities and the business value offered.

Microsoft Azure one stop easy cloud solution
We have not tried any alternatives to Microsoft Azure. To cater to our needs, Microsoft Azure was our primary option and it goes well so far. Apart from the application that hosted in service fabric we use azure for other needs like virtual machines, databases. As all our products are tightly coupled with Microsoft, it is easier to have all under one umbrella.
Evaluated both AWS and GCP for a similar set of use cases to realize that AWS required additional third-party add ons to be purchased for load balancing vs. Azure's out-of-the-box capabilities offered for free. GCP on the surface was lower cost but the cost of running enterprise solutions is a lot more than just the cost of operating VMs in the cloud. Google did not even come close to Azure in terms of capabilities and the business value offered.

Microsoft Azure - A Huge Set of Services and Abilities, so Just Start With a Small Bite.
AWS and [Microsoft] Azure are in a class by themselves, no matter how you look at them or what sub-area or service you focus on. No other cloud provide can match the breadth and ability of these two. Nobody else has the market share either (for a reason). That being said, while AWS has a somewhat larger market share and is perfectly fine, Azure will work better for organizations and enterprises that are already invested with Microsoft. The Azure solutions are the next step and complimentary pieces to Windows and Office 365.

Although some regions have dedicated workflows running on AWS, Microsoft Azure was chosen our Global Standard due to contract negotiation with Microsoft. It is also available in more regions than AWS, and we found its services and integrations more interesting for our use cases. Azure is more present 'outside-US' regions.
March 05, 2020
Azure, great for those looking to get to the cloud.
Integration with other Microsoft products makes Azure stand out quite a bit. But if your shop mostly runs open source and Linux then look at AWS or Google Cloud.

Microsoft Azure - One stop solution for cloud hosting
Instead of above mentioned alternative we opted for Microsoft Azure because it is more powerful, reliable and pretty much a responsive environment.

Microsoft Azure Review
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Glacier, Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) and Google Cloud Storage
Azure provides an environment that while at time is more pricey, the tight integration with our existing Microsoft-based infrastructure makes it difficult to beat.

Microsoft Azure seems to be the most cost-effective and the ability to buy credits for projects instead of a license makes it attractive.

Azure, definitely good for a Microsoft-based business.
We do everything Microsoft and wanted the thing that would most easily be compatible with everything out of the gate. Pricing was comparable. It made sense to us.
Amazon Web Services dominate cloud service market as a de facto market leader in IaaS and PaaS industry. However, Microsoft, with its Azure solution, has proven to be a formidable challenger to Amazon in cloud service, and is slowly but surely closing in the gap. Legacy systems' backward compatibility with heaps of hybrid options is Microsoft Azure area of strength. Both of which are highly relevant for large organizations with a complex mix of legacy systems to integrate cloud services to their corporate infrastructure.
