Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is being used to support our entire infrastructure for the organization. It allows us to be a totally decentralized organization that was working from home before the Covid Crisis hit. The use of Azure has allowed us to respond quickly to new business and infrastructure requirements, and implement new technologies seamlessly in our environment.

Support is pretty awesome, but sometimes there are cracks where support calls can get lost without being picked up or long times without an update - even if that update is that the program group is investigating the very rare bug you've discovered. Otherwise, support is pleasant, thorough, and available 24/7 based on the location of the data center you are connected with, and when you want a callback.

If you need to do something in the Cloud, Azure is the Cloud developer/storage/application of choice. Between the embrace and support of the open-source community through Github, providing non-Microsoft operating systems and development stacks in the Azure Marketplace with pre-configured templates to enable single-click deployment and provisioning of test or production environments, single click SQL instances that do not require you to host and maintain SQL server, Azure can do it, and do it well.
Microsoft Azure is an amazing environment to work in. The menus are expansive and thorough, and it includes so many features to allow you to completely replicate your on-premise data center in a virtual environment with always available backups and failover mechanisms across the world. The support services are very helpful and quick to respond, no matter if you are working on bread and butter data servers, or working with the newest and latest innovations in the virtual space such as Azure Lighthouse and Azure Labs.
