Benefits of AWS
Here are the notable benefits of accepting AWS Cloud Services
As your company necessity Compute Cloud allows you to increase or decrease storage
AWS allows you to select an operating system, programming language, and database based on your wish.
Providing extensive and in-depth services

Bl and analytics with its Strong support
Benefits of Azure
Here are some key benefits of using Azure Cloud Services
Ability to develop, maintain and deploy applications for developers and users
Fully scalable cloud computing platform provides open access to multiple languages, structures and tools
Providing total support for Microsoft legacy applications
Organizational needs with its Great awareness
In many cases easy one click migration
Transferring on-frame licenses to the cloud
Providing Support for mixed Linux / Windows environments
Provides an inbuilt tool such as Azure Stack to assist the company in providing Azure service from own data center
Detriment of AWS
Here there are some drawbacks of Amazon Web Services
Low hybrid- cloud friendly
The AWS elastic load balance is not fitted to handle multiple requests received by the recipient
AWS has no customer support, so it is best suited for those companies with a technically interested consumer group and their in-house technical support team.
The number of options provided by AWS is confusing for those who don’t speak the language of technology.
Weak hybrid strategy with incompatibility
AWS is a low open private cloud. This makes it an unpopular savings option for important businesses like banking
There are many products in AWS, which makes the selection process very difficult
Detriment of Azure
Key Disadvantages of Azure Cloud Services:
Data is provided globally , Customer service is not transparent. So, if you have restrictions in data, it should be stored in a particular country, at the time you should check/specify with Microsoft
They are full of flaws. To fix these errors, you have to spend some additional money
non-Windows server platforms has Low flexibility when compared to AWS
Conclusion
Microsoft Azure has increased its market share over the past two years, but not to the extent that there will be at least one real competition between the two companies in the future.
In addition, both companies are introducing new products, new integrations and new pricing structures. So, the final choice depends on the needs of your company.
