Overall Satisfaction with Azure Automation
We are currently using Azure Automation to manage aspects of Microsoft 365 and Sharepoint that cannot otherwise be automated. Specifically, we are using it to generate failed login alerts from Microsoft 365 and to perform synchronization of employee information between Azure AD and Sharepoint for an internal business directory. With the use of Azure Automation, we have both of these tasks scheduled to run periodically each day.
- Scheduled automation of Microsoft 365 and Azure tasks
- Scheduled automation of scripting (e.g. Powershell)
- Perform periodic maintenance
- An automation template library would be nice
- Clear estimation of costs - this goes for the entire Azure Automation platform
- It can be daunting at first due to all the settings and menu levels, but it is not difficult once you get started.
- Ensures tasks are not forgotten
- Saves times - routine tasks no longer have to be performed manually
- Complicated tasks are no longer an issue
We did not evaluate any other automation products since we are already using Microsoft 365 and the Azure platform. Additionally, Azure Automation allows for a reasonable number of tasks to be performed each month at no cost, which is especially nice when testing the platform. We found Azure Automate's integration of Powershell invaluable when working directly with Microsoft 365, Sharepoint, Azure AD, and other systems via API.
