4. Subscription-based service with no up-front software costs.
Recommended for small businesses of up to twenty-five users, Microsoft Office 365 is an entry-level cloud option with many benefits.
MICROSOFT AZURE
Azure goes beyond Microsoft Office 365 (SaaS) to become IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service), providing the operating system, computing power and network from which all necessary components are hosted.
What does this mean for your business? While Office 365 is a managed solution that is more than enough for many small offices, some may have the need for a more customized approach, more server power and more storage. Azure provides a wide range of integrated services that can accommodate a multitude of operating systems, languages, tools and app development capabilities.
With enhanced virtual capacity, Azure is the choice of many when migrating to a cloud-based infrastructure, as it allows for customized business applications and extended mobile app support. This allows businesses to host complex third-party applications as a service to their workforce and customer base outside of the Microsoft ecosystem.
1. Most extensive hybrid capabilities.
2. Integration with Microsoft Cloud.
3. Enhanced developer capabilities.
4. Preconfigured IoT integration suite.
AMAZON WEB SERVICES (AWS)
1. Support for a broad range of open-source applications and platforms.
2. Automatic scalability.
3. Powerful security, compliance and identity management features.
4. Large number of third-party integrations.
AWS and Microsoft Azure are players in the same field, though Amazon has been in the cloud computing business for longer. One of the main differences is that Amazon operates almost exclusively “in the cloud” and does not have the same level of support for hybrid deployments as does Azure. On the one hand, AWS provides more attractive options for those working in an open-source environment, such as web developers; on the other, Azure presents a clear advantage for those committed to a Microsoft application workflow.
As they are both enterprise-level platforms, the specific features they offer should be your prime consideration when deciding between the two.
