You can get a project or a pilot up and running in minutes, with everything you need, in a modular way. The services I find more useful (apart virtual machines) are Application Insights and Docker Image Registries, two components that tipically take a lot of effort to set up on premises. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately if you have Azure bulk credits because you participate in some Microsoft programs, there is currently no way to set budget alerts or thresholds, so you must keep an eye on usage. Also, OpenAI costs are still high compared to competition. ----- ### "Azure File Storage - Cheap But Support Is Lacking" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *22 September 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The cost for using Azure Storage is very reasonable. The solution is incredibly feature-rich. Once you understand the solution, deployment is simple. > > **Cons**: The learning curve prior to adoption is steep and the product is constantly changing. The customer support is very hit and miss depending on the issue, department and engineers who deal with your request. > > Overall I feel like we have selected the right solution for mass file storage. I do wish the support was better and that the product changed at as lower pace. ----- ### "Everything all in one" — 3.0/5 > **Hillel** | *3 September 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its great for Scim \& SSO setup. I can manage everything all in one portal with the option to also to also manage different apps from different portals > > **Cons**: Sometimes setup can be tricky and its overly complicated. Resetting a laptop sometimes doesnt work from the azure or intune portal ----- ### "Great Product for Enterprise Environments" — 5.0/5 > **Clyde** | *19 May 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Azure gives us the ability to manage devices (corporate or BYOD), utilize Conditional Access Policies, and also provide other security measures in order to provide and sustain a stable work and network environment. > > **Cons**: Microsoft Azure can be slow to provide certain information or details in real time. The reporting for devices and apps takes quite some time to provide info such as the sync time for a device and also if a Conditional Access Policy was successfully added to the device. > > I use Microsoft Azure daily to provide administrative tasks, monitor and configure Conditional Access Policies, monitor firewall rules Risky Users report. Overall, it provides a great service and value. ----- ### "Azure is a nice alternative to on premises Microsoft Server" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *20 September 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: we were able to move our older IT on premises infrastructure into the Cloud. It was not as difficult as we had expected, but we did have assistance from a consultant. > > **Cons**: Its pricing model is a bit cumbersome. They have one bill for Azure, one for M365, another for Teams + Co Pilot, and they don't always line up date-wise > > Pretty good\! They let you 'ramp up' or down the amount of computing power you need. Managing the 'Tenants' is confusing. I recommend a consultant for that part. ----- Page: 1 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/1022/azure?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/1022/azure) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
