Great Powerful Automation Tool For Microsoft

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Automation from other similar products?

* Process automation and configuration management is great. We can make the Role Based Access Control policies available easily over the resources. * VPS system maintenance is compatible with GNU Linux and Windows.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

* Automation processes such like automatic scaling restarting services is great. * The programming interface is very easy to use and it is very minimal. * The cost of the services is affordable. * The quality of the platform is great and you can save a lot of money by decreasing cost to your project.

What do you dislike most about this product?

* Disk size limitation on Azure is not enough. * Recovering from the DRSync server failures is not that easy. * Fair share limit is not provided. I think that would be good if we allow runbooks to execute for more than 90 minutes. * It is not clear that it will exist along with the Azure Function. It will exist? * Time runbooks seems stay in queue forever,

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

* Recovering from the DRSync failures should be easy. * Faire share limit should be provided. * It should be clear that if it will exist along with the Azure Function in the future. * Disk size limitation on Azure should be enough
