- Compute Cloud allows you to increase or decrease storage according to the need of your organization
- AWS enables you to select an operating system, programming language, database of your choice.
- Offers more data centers for availability and low latency
- Stronger analytics support
- Easy to follow documentation
- Fully scalable cloud computing platform offers open access across multiple languages, frameworks, and tools
- Support for legacy Microsoft software
- One-click migrations
- AWS elastic load balancer is not equipped to handle as many requests as it receives
- AWS lacks customer support, so it more suitable for a technically savvy group of consumers and those companies who have their own tech support team
- The number of choices offered by AWS is confusing to those who may not speak the language of technology.
- Customer service is not transparent, and data is hosted globally. So, if you have data restrictions where it must be stored in a specific country, at that time you need to verify/specify with Microsoft
- Less flexibility about non-Windows server platforms, when compared to AWS
