What are the pros and cons of Microsoft Azure over R in terms of data analytics capabilities?
Since Microsoft Azure is a closed-source tool, it has the same pros and cons as any other commercial software. When it comes to software, there are two main types – closed-source and open-source. One benefit is that it can be more secure than open-source software, as the code is not publicly available and can only be accessed by those with permission.
Closed-source software is also more reliable, as it is typically developed by professional developers and undergoes more testing than open-source software. Finally, closed-source software is more user-friendly, as it is typically developed with the user in mind and includes documentation and support. Also, Microsoft Azure has a fully managed infrastructure and gets regular updates.
As for the cons, SaaS cloud services are available on a paid basis.
