Overall Satisfaction with Windows Azure

It has been used across the whole organization.
  • Taking advantage of resources in the cloud allows you to decrease your costs for building and expanding your on-premises resources.
  • Knowing that security is one of the biggest concerns for companies considering a move to the cloud, Microsoft designed Azure with security in mind.
  • With Azure, you can develop hybrid applications that allow your on-premises applications to use cloud services, such as the cloud database and storage services.
  • SQL Agent itself is not supported on SQL Azure, so you cannot run jobs via the agent in the first place.
  • SQL Reporting is another feature that costs extra in SQL Azure.
  • Increased employee efficiency; publishing on Azure is so smooth and quick.
  • Not having to worry about backups.
  • The Azure management portal allows the customer to do things like bring up new servers, control how many servers are running.
The key advantage of using Windows Azure is to decrease your costs for building and expanding your on-premises resources.
