For one thing, the Azure portal is more consistent and so much better to work with than the clunky, rather antiquated AWS portal.

Azure has a huge and every-growing service offering, which includes things like Postgres, so it's not like you are bound to Microsoft tech if you use Azure.

I've been working with Azure for a few years now, and am very happy with it - in the main, I've found there support to be excellent too.

IMO the only area AWS really kicks Azure's arse is for compute - you get a lot more VM for your money with AWS. I really wish Azure would do better here.
