Overall Satisfaction with Azure Cloud Services

In my organisation, we use Azure Cloud Services as a hybrid cloud. We are migrating our services, jobs, and database to Azure Cloud Services using VMs, Azure Kubernetes Services, Azure Cosmos DB, and blob storage. We are also using Azure AI for different AI use case in our organization. We've migrated over 90+ microservices to Azure Cloud for our enterprise customer and still deploying remaining to cutover on prem cost and have high up time and allowing to usecase using Azure AI. We are utilizing this at different levels from VM to AKS, AI, Database and all aspects for our enterprise usecase and datahubs

Pros

  • We are using Azure Cosmo DB and flex DB on azure as our database operations for datahub.
  • We are utilizing Azure Kubernetes services for deploying our micro services in different environment
  • We are utilizing Azure blob storage for our fallout records to reprocess
  • We are also using Azure AI factory for our internal AI use cases.
  • We are also utilizing Azure infrastructure including VMs, cloud storage and other services for our microservices application.

Cons

  • Latency and bandwidth as we often see gap here
  • There were many challenges as a developer while migrating our DB from on prem to cloud
  • System downtime is also one issue that can be improved
  • With help of Azure, our services uptime got increased be 99.8%
  • We've removed on prem dependency by 86%
  • Utilized Azure AI for building internal AI tools and managing million data in Cosmo DB
As a certificate developer and consultant, I love using Azure, it's interface is developer friendly with well guidance and support. Also there are a lot of service for any work, Azure ecosystem is sufficient to complete your all developments needs. So based on that I feel Azure is good and gives better developer experience.
Azure Cloud Services are easy to set up, the learning curve is very fast and developer-friendly. For this reason, our organization decided to go for it initially, and then we also have Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services as part of our multi-cloud adoption.

Do you think Azure Cloud Services delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Azure Cloud Services's feature set?

Yes

Did Azure Cloud Services live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Azure Cloud Services go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Azure Cloud Services again?

Yes

I think if you have simple application where u want to utilise Azure Cloud Services and it's internal team and less interaction and not serious much about bandwidth and latency and budget is tight then Azure Cloud Services are good. But bandwidth, latency, security and privacy or container based applications are there with higher needs then go for other cloud based services. As we believe in multi cloud adoption with Azure, GCP, AWS. so based on your usecase go for it.
