Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Azure
We are using Microsoft Azure as one of our primary cloud providers and we've offloaded several of our production workloads to it. We are a heavy user of storage accounts as well as function apps. It helps us quickly roll out projects to production where we can innovate and experiment.
- Speed to market
- Provides a familiar environment for existing Microsoft users
- Good catalog of services
- Some their preview items are not ready for Production
- Even having enterprise support, it can take finesse to find the right contact on certain services
- It suffers from growing pain as it improves.
- 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
Azure was less developed but with our relationship and familiarity with the tool, it beat out the competition. The service itself has some areas that need to be improved but the current features are very promising. Given another year or two, it'll be up there with AWS and other services
