Overall Satisfaction with Azure SQL Database
We use Azure SQL Database as the data store for our public website. It allows us to meet our uptime goals and provides a point of contact with our customers regardless of the state of our internal network.
- High availability
- Security features
- Ease of upgrade from on premise SQL
- Lacks full feature parity with SQL server
- More limited access to metrics for performance troubleshooting
- Hard to understand metrics used for sizing
- Makes the database cost for our use case more predictable and regular
- Adds redundancy capabilities much easier than implementing our own
- Integrates easily with the other Azure services we utilize
