"The solution is very simple to use. It has a lot of great practical applications we really appreciate."
"Some features of Azure are very important for us. You can control access for your company, it's not complicated managing the solution either.

"The design of the platform is not so easy to navigate. It's not very user-friendly."
"Their backup strategy is a little complex which racks up the VM to other sole storage areas. This should be improved."
"Quite an expensive solution."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by being more user-friendly and the interface could be better."
"We had issues with the Mobile Service ORM and the Azure SQL Database (cloud version of SQL Server). At times, the queries that are created automatically from the ORM mapping are not very well optimized for this database and that can lead to performance and stability issues. On occasion, the connection manager from the ORM does not handle the database connections very well."
"The authentication method only allows me to have up to 90 users, and there are 2,300 people in the company."
