Summary

This chapter covers factors that help you determine when it’s best to use Microsoft Azure and when it’s best to use Office 365. Although each factor plays a different role in the decision-making process, you should carefully consider each factor with equal importance. Flexibility of the cloud platform and SLAs are critical for businesses because they impact the operations and future vision. Productivity tools and cross-platform support impacts end users as they perform day-to-day operations. Finally, development tools support for cloud-based services is important for developers who build custom solutions and customize existing services to meet their business needs.
