Azure Storage Explorer and Azcopy are hunks of junk. Its an insult to the businesses that have to use this. I have spent over a week trying to get a single TB of data onto blob storage using these tools, it can NOT handle it. This software often freezes up and mishandles the paths you give it, those files are going wherever Azure thinks they should go... you have zero say in it.

I work for the AA using azure web platforms…. Dire!!!!

1 week to deny a certificate request... Incredible

I wasn't even able to get ONE VPS running.

Scaling? Good luck!

Hidden costs on everything you do, and if you don’t pay 99€ a month for priority support, they will just redirect your queries to some indians who doesn’t even comprehend English enough to understand your query, not solving it at all. Too bad, competition out there is way more advanced, speaking of support but also price convenience

In order to put an SSL binding on a web app, you need a basic service account, which costs almost $70/month. That's on top of paying for the server, on top of paying for the domain. Just the binding, requires that price tag. That's price gouging. That's a scam. There is no reason at all for this feature to be gated behind that requirement.

Upgraded my laptop to Win11 because of end of support Win10 security updates.
Installed Azure Storage Explorer thinking this would be an ease. Installed everything they prompted for (ie. latest .NET). Tried logging in to my Azure subscription several times but unable to. Had to do a search on google for a customer support number because Microsoft’s support website does not list one. The voice message says to go to website ms.something or another which I done but still doesn’t help with a resolution. I give two stars because I’ve had no issues with storage of my data on the Azure cloud but the connectivity issues to get at my data definitely leaves somethings to be desired.

This product is the worst I've ever seen.

Non-functional tooling, no up-to-date documentation, everything is slow to react, the web portal is deeply flawed and inconsistent, it's not reliable and expensive (price would not be an issue it it actually worked).

25k€ facturés pour des ressources non visible et inaccessibles sur portal.azure.com
Le géant Microsoft n'écoute pas et méprise la PME.
Service support de très mauvaise qualité.
Bref si vous n'êtes pas CEO d'une entreprise du CAC40 choisissez une autre offre que celle de Microsoft.

Subject: Urgent: Unauthorized Azure Charges & Non-existent Database — No Support Response

I am deeply frustrated and disappointed with Microsoft Azure’s customer service. I have been billed for a database that does not exist. Last year I used one service and one SQL database. I cancelled the service, but my billed amount doubled.

More recently, I explicitly deleted the SQL and closed the database service, yet my charges jumped by 70%. I have no active database, but I’m still getting billed. It feels like they’re simply ripping me off.

I have tried to reach Azure support but received no meaningful response. Customer service is nonexistent. This is unacceptable. I demand:

A full investigation and audit of my billing history

A refund for charges incurred after service cancellation

A direct Microsoft contact (manager or escalation) to resolve this

If no response is made within a reasonable timeframe, I will escalate further (regulators, public forums, legal).

So, I subscribed to the free trial, I created sucesfully a VM, and I selected a different size, because 1 GB Ram for Windows 10 is not enough. I refreshed the website because it bugged, and then "Error displaying your content". At mobile, I can see the VM and configure it, but I can't change the size "plan", and I selected by a missclick the 4 GB plan, and yeah, it crashed. If I click to "get support", it just open a new windows with the same error: "Error displaying your content". Microsoft really don't now how to code a website? This is really cringe. Linux is getting better, now linux < windows 11.

Bad dashboard, poor support, garbage service quality!

Avoid Microsoft Azure at all costs! We pay thousands for their unreliable services which are down again and they refuse to speak to you unless you pay them more money and then when you pay they still won't speak to you . . . they are THIEVES!

Azure's pricing is deceptive, with unexpected fees that blindsided me. Strongly advise avoiding it, Its gonna rip you off!!

cheap chinese crap. not orthopedic, charged $59 , temu has same shoe $14.99

Unofficial scam.

DO NOT USE THIS IS THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU IN 2025.

Once you put your card you need to watch 3 tutorials on youtube and wait 1 month to remove your card + hidden fees everywhere. you end up pyaing 20$ with no use and getting mad for this hidden fees then try to remove ur cc and get even more mad knowing that u have to wait a month and make 3000 steps in a buggy platform.

I contacted Azure support to ask for help with service continuity given that my Action Pack subscription was about to end. It was very difficult to open a new ticket, given that the Azure admin center is designed to make it so. When someone was finally assigned to the case (# 2505070040007699) they spent a week telling me what I had already told them, and sending me irrelevant articles. They clearly has no understanding. Finally, after ignoring my emails for several days, and without confirming that it was OK with me, they just closed the ticket and walked away. Absolutely disgraceful.

If I could give their customer service 0 stars I would.
Multiple times now accross multiple accounts their system is ambiguous or has an error that costs me money and their answer is basically "too bad". They refuse to honour their free trial periods when its clear I've never used their service before. They are expensive and inferior to competition. I use Google Workspace for other business and its leaps and bounds better. Am going to move it all accross.

THEY STOLE MY MONEY!! I ORDERED AN ITEM FROM THEM SINCE FEBRUARY AND TILL THIS DAY I HAVENT RECEIVED ANYTHING YET! I SENT THEM 3 EMAILS ALREADY AND NO ONE ANSWERS BACK TO ME. TOTALLY WASTE OF F***ING TIME!!!!

Chips were ok fish was dry just like the sausages as if its been in hot box for 2 hours+ curry sauce and mushy peas half full 2/10 tonight guys very disappointed
