Overall Satisfaction with Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Database is being used by multiple business units in our organization. We use it in conjunction with Cloud Services (web applications).
- Point In Time Backup
- High Availability
- Scaling
- Provide customers more examples with Azure Automation (ways of doing backups, etc.) and then emailing when there is a failure.
- Decrease costs on premium.
- Allow customers to define a longer point in time backup recovery period.
- Application Stability
- Recoverability
- Testing
As we were early adopters with Azure and landed on the Azure PaaS (Platform as a Service), it made sense to use databases that were on the same platform as the application to save on costs. Also, we were impressed with the simplicity of Azure SQL. From a management perspective and an automation perspective it's much easier to have all the eggs in one basket (as long as you plan for the unexpected/disaster recovery).
