Of the 3 big US based clouds, Azure was the worst I dealt with. AWS comes close second to worst. GCP is the best UX but pricing is probably comparably crazy.
Azures biggest issue is it inherits most of the same technical debt most Microsoft products suffer from. It's slow, glitchy, and at times unforgiving. Also I find I often have to have the network tab open as errors aren't reported to the UI. They just happen and stuff hangs.
I really wonder how despite all of this, they still get business... It's been a demonstrably terrible Cloud from the start. Even Equifax avoided Azure during their lift and shift, which is surprising given a lot of their stack is super legacy Microsoft tech... I guess they learned their lesson.

I suspect that in large part Azure gets business from companies that already have microsoft environments and utilize O365 and AzureAD or whatever they’re currently called.
