"IBM is the only vendor to offer integration with blockchain for smart contract development."
"Cloud Foundry builds the runtime environment directly without requiring dependency management from the user."
"The most valuable feature is the possibility of using Microsoft and non-Microsoft services on one environment."
"The most valuable feature is the interface."
"The application services are the most valuable in Microsoft Azure. I'm not using them directly but I am using the function and the web applications. I don't need to pay a lot for the maintenance. I do not need to have a DevOps employee."
"It is easy to deploy."
"Azure is very flexible."
"The platform's user-friendliness eliminates the need for lengthy training periods, enabling swift navigation for new users."

"Performance could be improved."
"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by being more secure."
"I would like to see improved migration tools. It is improving week by week. They just need to make sure that they keep up with the new functionality provided in other clouds."
"With a Synapse environment, we might need to switch to Databricks for better scalability."
"I believe that some of the services need to be available on the on-premises version and not only based on the cloud."
"The solution could improve the stability. However, this could be a configuration issue that we are not been trained."
