What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?

Cost is the most important differentiator when selecting cloud solution. Then come the functionality ,performance and security and so on. When one compare Azure with other available cloud service provider, it has a lot of benefit. I am not sure about a smaller organisation but for large one you have many option to choose which will reduce the overall cost. Microsoft also provide free training and certification, which is added advantage.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is easy to use and lot of customization option available based on the need. Temp resource allocation is another good feature if you do not need a server for longer time. Security is another very good feature of Azure. A lot of customization and automation option to reduce the manual effort.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are hundred of services available, finding the right one is daunting task. For a small organisation it may be too costly to afford but better talk to Microsoft representative, pricing should have more simple. Some time solution take longer to resolve.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is fantastic product and have evolved over the time. It will surely add value to any organisation which want to move from legacy to cloud solution or just want to move to cloud. I highly recommend this product to any one.
