The Azure Enterprise Portal is an online management portal that allows companies to define administrator roles, create subscriptions, and add role-based access so users can manage Azure services. This can also be used to check costs, monitor costs, and get recommendations on how to save costs. For many companies that use Microsoft Azure, Azure Enterprise Portal is the most common tool used to manage resources used to work in the cloud. Effective Azure resource management requires a thorough understanding of the portal and its features.
Azure Enterprise Portal Feature lists
- Start with the Azure Enterprise portal
When companies use Azure Enterprise Portal for the first time, the first task is to create an “administrative tree”. It consists of four levels of administration based on the role of consumers in the business. At the top of the tree structure, there are company administrators who are told about everything. This includes department administrators, account holders, and service administrators.
Depending on the company structure, different administrators can be given different access rights. For example, a company administrator can obtain read-only rights if someone only needs to have access to usage and expense reports. Access to Azure billing and market information can also be activated or deactivated depending on the role of people in the company.
Company administrators can set soft cost ratios for each department and receive notifications when major expense ratio milestones are reached. You can also limit who has the right to subscribe to the company. The customer is required before the service administrator can use the service. In small businesses, starting the Azure Enterprise portal is easy. Active Directory cards are recommended for large companies.
- Tell me more about Azure subscriptions
Subscriptions are basically one account in a global business account. They are often used to divide accounts and manage resources by departments or units in each department. For example, companies with locations in different geographical locations might require that each pay facility to use Microsoft Azure, or finance and marketing be considered individually for the use of their resources. Marketing can even request unique subscriptions for any product or project.
Because billing-related subscriptions must be prepared before the resource can be used. Global subscriptions are set by default when a global business account is created. Subscribe enough for many companies. However, this has the disadvantage of a lack of flexibility in the development and production teams and requires a more detailed access control function on the role. There is also a limit to the number of resources (e.g. VM) that can be used on each subscription
As a result, many companies use multiple subscriptions to meet business, technical and measurable needs. It also has the advantage that individual service administrators can group resources that have the same life cycle (and deploy, update, or delete them together) without the Azure Enterprise Portal being filled with thousands of resource groups in the same subscription group. The disadvantage of this option is that it increases the complexity of cost, productivity, and security management.
Azure offers an interesting combination of IaaS and PaaS services. With IaaS, companies can use their infrastructure for Azure and pay for what they use. With PaaS, you can create your own web applications and solutions without having to buy and maintain the basics. Microsoft partner community consultants on Azure can work with Enterprise to create enterprise applications in the cloud to accelerate business growth using Azure PaaS & IaaS.
- Safety advice
The Security Development Life Cycle (SDL) is the industry-leading security process on which Azure is based. This basically includes security and personal data, and the service remains safe on Azure Cloud. Microsoft Azure offers the best compliance coverage from more than 50 compliance proposals and is the most trusted cloud platform by US government agencies. This is also the first company to introduce a new international cloud data protection standard ISO 27018. In this way, Microsoft guarantees the best security for all Azure cloud operations and data.
- Scalability and plasticity
Applications that run easily, without impact, and with the scalability of 10 to 10 million users can be made with Azure without additional coding. Azure Storage offers cloud storage services that are plastic, safe, secure, and efficient. It’s easier to change settings and use more processors for applications.
- Unmatched hybrid capabilities
Azure has hybrid features that make it unique. Azure enables easy mobility and a consistent, reliable platform between local and public clouds. Azure offers a wider range of hybrid connections, including VPN (Virtual Private Networks), caches, CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) and ExpressRoute connections to improve usability and performance.
- An integrated environment with other Microsoft tools
Companies that depend on Microsoft tools such as Office 365, Outlook, and SharePoint invest in cloud platforms that can be integrated into Microsoft products. Using Azure simplifies operations by using the same local virtual machine as Windows and Linux.
- Unmatched hybrid capabilities

Azure offers a wider range of hybrid connections, including VPN (Virtual Private Networks), caches, CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) and ExpressRoute connections to improve usability and performance.
- Possibilities for analysis and intelligence
Azure facilitates SQL and NoSQL data services and built-in support for digging deeper and revealing key ideas to improve business processes and decision making. Azure is the only cloud platform that offers blockchain as a service (BaaS), machine learning, bot, and cognitive API.
- Simple learning curve
Famous tools like Visual Studio, ASP.NET, and programming languages like Visual Basic, C ++, C #, and others. They are used to develop natural cloud applications so that consultants can easily develop cloud-based applications for business applications.
- Effective platform
Microsoft’s payment model Microsoft allows you to pay for what you use to create or expand resources using Azure services. This reduces IT administration costs to a minimum because the infrastructure was taken over by Microsoft Azure. It easily connects data centers to the cloud and supports 42 regions, unlike other cloud providers.
- Interoperability
Azure provides secure IAM capabilities with Azure Active Directory so that the right users can access the right information. With Azure, businesses can take advantage of IAM’s sophisticated capabilities to lower identity management costs, become more flexible, and support innovative business initiatives.
- Identity and access management (IAM)
Azure has hybrid features that make it unique. Azure enables easy mobility and a consistent, reliable platform between local and public clouds. Azure offers a wider range of hybrid connections, including VPN (Virtual Private Networks), caches, CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) and ExpressRoute connections to improve usability and performance.
Other public cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform offer features similar to Microsoft Azure. Given the speed with which Microsoft is launching new components at Azure, it is clear that they are valued higher in the market.
