It is a industry standard user management solutions that allows us to run account lifecycles and connect with other software and programs. ----- ### "Azure-All your needs in one place" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I like most using Microsoft Azure is that it offers databases like SQL and also the DevOps features are great and helps a lot while building websites and apps. > > **Cons**: The thing I like least is that sometimes the services are slow and there are outages sometimes which lead to downtime > > The Overall experience I would say was good and it has all the features from DevOps , database management to cloud storage that you would need as a software developer but it just takes sometime to learn all the features and to get used to using them. ----- ### "Avoid Microsoft Azure" — 1.0/5 > **Robert** | *13 August 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Other than the large number of features and services they have there isn't much to like about Microsoft Azure. > > **Cons**: Awful support and customer service. It is almost impossible to speak to them, they take ages to reply to any support tickets and when they do, they will tell you anything to close the case even if it's not correct. ----- ### "MSP Managers Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Harrison** | *12 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Although Azure has changed I still like how some feature sets from Entra are availble to change in Azure. Deploying VMs for customers is awesome and really easy to use. The documentation is extensive and very helpful. > > **Cons**: I honestly didnt like when identity management left Azure and split into Entra ID, it made things confusing. > > As a manager of a help desk who has to be a systems admin sometimes Azure makes it easy to work on multiple things at once. When we are working on VMs and need to access some identity management we still can and thats helpful. ----- ### "Feature rich and stable cloud solution" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 January 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Feature rich and stable cloud solution offering a multitude of options > > **Cons**: High prices, especially for basic technical support > > In general I am very satisfied with Azure. Especially all the features of Web Apps make it a superior solution hosting in plain IIS. ----- Page: 1 / 79\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/1022/azure?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/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
