Aws vs Azure:

AWS:
It's fast, has everything, but it's like a box of Legos. You are the one who has to figure out what connects where, and build your skyscraper from tiny blocks.

Azure:
Has almost everything, but there are some missing pieces. Also it can be really slow ( vm deployment 5 minutes, but if you ask for 50 in one go, it could take 20 minutes as you only get them when ALL resources are allocated...).
On the other hand, there are nice examples and baseline scenarios, and the gui can be helpful.
Another negative would be the multitude of admin options for each service, just like in o365. Try generic admin. Not there? Try service related admin page. Not there? you'll probably need to go to azure cli.
