Very versatile, but also complex

- Huge savings on Data Archiving, using 3rd party tools and Azure Storage Accounts.
- Significant savings deploying temporary applications to Azure, instead of expanding the OnPrem environment.
- Compliance/Security improvements, moving Windows 2008 R2 legacy servers to Azure and keeping extended support.

Azure, great for those looking to get to the cloud.
- As with any IaaS DO NOT lift and shift into Azure. Develop with the cloud model in mind. We were told to lift and shift into Azure with a crazy increase in operating costs.
- Our development teams love it. Integration with Team City and Visual studio is one of the greatest time savers for our dev teams.
- We thought we'd save on getting rid of some on premise appliances but we ended up needing the cloud version of the appliance because the features in Azure were just not mature enough yet.

Microsoft Azure - One stop solution for cloud hosting
- Storage is awesome
- Virtual machines availability is excellent
- Reliable and secure envioronment
- Maintenance cost is low
- Service cost is bit high but still worth the use. To avoid the paying fees we needed to cancel the unused resource use.
August 20, 2019
Impressed by Azure's innovation and rapid growth
- We are deploying an application using Kubernetes. It is easy to integrate Docker with Azure as well.
August 20, 2019
Microsoft Azure Review
- It has had a positive impact as it has allowed us to very affordably replace legacy infrastructure.
- It has had a positive impact as it has provided a much more robust infrastructure than we had in place before.
- It has had a positive impact in that we now have the ability to rapidly scale to whatever demands we face without overly investing in fixed infrastructure.
August 20, 2019
Machine Learning
- Making performance predictions that help drive business model (positive).
- Takes a lot of time to learn and requires manpower to teach the system (negative).
- Easy to scale to many users.

Azure, definitely good for a Microsoft-based business.
- We continue to move things to Azure because it's so flexible. If we were buying physical machines, at times they would be undersized, and other times, they would be very wasted. Azure allows us to scale things as needed. It has taken the responsibility of purchasing expensive equipment off our shoulders
- It's much easier to keep archiving files to an SMB share on Azure than keep upgrading our NAS here. We don't hold back. If there's 1% chance we'll need a file but we don't want it around right now, we'll dump it up there.
- It gives us better peace of mind for the security of systems to just get the service and not have to maintain all of the security patches for every OS to host those services.
- By deploying Microsoft Azure, we are able to cut-down mean-time-to-response in delivering our products and services.
- Scalability is one of the key factors in growing our business.
- Dynamic and on-demand resource allocation allows us to reduce capital expenditure.
August 17, 2019
Azure, a familiar home in the cloud
- We've increased turnaround for requests from hours to minutes
- We have been able to experiment with several different new technologies that would not have been approachable to our smaller teams
- Easy adoption for existing talent
August 16, 2019
The best cloud solution
- Reduce costs
- Resources management
- High availability
- Management of risks
August 16, 2019
Azure, the better choice for business.
- Less equipment on site.
- Less switching on site and support needed.
- Less IT support needed to cover a single company.
August 16, 2019
Crystal Clear Azure
- We have seen reduced costs associated with purchasing, configuring and maintaining individual servers.
- We have seen a drop in cost associated with sharing data while at the same time seen a general increase of many magnitudes with sharing that same data and more.
- A negative impact has been the necessity of finally confronting the technical capabilities of the work force. It is a relief to finally reach this point but resistance from entrenched ideas, fears and lack of knowledge continues to be considerable.

Azure overview
- Lowers operational costs
- Better performance
- Little downtime
August 12, 2019
Complete package for the cloud experience
- The implementation was surprisingly fast and issue-free.
- We are able to quickly meet client demands by the ease of deployment of the assets.
- The elastic scalability saves the otherwise redundant resources.
August 12, 2019
Azure is an ideal solution
- Great resource management.
- Less cost with high performance.
- Good risk management.
August 11, 2019
Benefits of Azure
- It allows us to run our infrastructure without capital.
- It allows us to automate the provisioning of our infrastructure.
- It allows us to automate the deployment of our software.
August 11, 2019
Azure is simple, easy and too hard to pass up.
- Better allocation of our financial resources by scaling up or down only when needed.
- Easier to manage our infrastructure because you can do it from anywhere, even from your phone in a pinch. Required fewer dedicated or less-costly personnel.
- Backup and storage are so cheap we can be in a better position to recover in case of any major issue.

- After having spent about $250k moving to Azure, and more than $1M on Azure, we are moving to another solution.
March 14, 2019
No need of on-prem!
- The cost is high. We cannot use auto-scale.
- No need to upgrade every a server every five years.
- We can deploy ad-hoc test servers.
February 23, 2019
Microsoft Azure: Next Step to Cloud Hosting
- Environments are stable.
- We have a scalable environment which provides the ability to sustain an increased load.
February 21, 2019
Probably the best cloud experience ever
- We've got an opportunity to create new systems and application quicker and easier using Microsoft Azure comparing to doing the same on-premise. That saves time and money on the people and hardware resources.
- Not necessary to monitor for hardware, decreased downtime for systems and services, and better backup options brought a lot of positive impact to IT and the company.
- Build fast and reliable test and dev environment. Pay only for the time that you use it -- what can be better?

Microsoft Azure: a great IAAS partner
- Microsoft Azure has been a good partner for us, even though we're a small to mid-size company. We've received good first and second tier support with any of our technical issues. Overall, I think using Azure has been a step in the right direction for us.
February 16, 2019
Azure is like the other Microsoft products, good and user-friendly, but not the most efficient thing in the world
- In the sense that capturing big data makes a difference to the bottom line, as it has for my business objective, the implementation of Microsoft Azure was a positive ROI. I feel like I've moved into the 21st Century with Azure.
- For analysts that have a long history of using Excel and Access, Azure has a bit of a learning curve. We're all on the learning in one sense, just some are still on the steeper part of the learning curve after a few months.
- Microsoft Azure has been a positive ROI in that it has afforded users the ability to create real-time updating visualizations and analytics, something that should be second nature in the analytics field by now.
February 15, 2019
Azure CI in a Dynamic Environment
- For any applications that we have running in the Azure space the ROI has been though the roof
- We have decommissioned numerous physical servers saving hard dollars each year
- In Addition to the hard dollars the soft dollar ROI has been fantastic. We can run deployments and analytics at anytime matching the speed of our clients

Useful range of products!
- Positive -- Offloading specific ML-related tasks like Azure Machine Learning Studio was great for optimizing our general compute instances infrastructure.
- Negative -- Difficult to onboard and poor documentation, integrating some of the Azure products took significantly more time than necessary.
- Positive -- The pricing for some of the Azure products is quite competitive at greater usage.
