If you’ve landed here, you’re likely having IT performance problems in Azure that you need to fix. We’ve split the most common user problems in Microsoft Azure into four categories; performance, user experience, access issues and connectivity. In this first part of our Azure troubleshooter’s guide, we’re tackling performance problems in Azure. Here are the six most common reasons for sub-optimal performance in Azure and how to diagnose and fix them:

## Assess resources and capacity

You could have:

- The wrong virtual machine (VM) size or type
- Too few host VMs or too many users per VM
- Under-specified resources

## Utilise the automations in Azure

Azure is packed full with automations that you can access to make sure performance is optimised. These include:

- Automated VM scaling with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) scaling plans (which could help you prevent having too few or too many machines)
- Automations that keep deployment consistent such as scripts, Azure Resource Management (ARM) templates or Blueprints

## Is Microsoft Teams configured correctly?

- You could be using Microsoft Teams without optimising it for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
- You might have to use Microsoft Teams locally

## OneDrive Sync problems

- You might be attempting to sync data beyond the supported limits
- Remember to select the SharePoint library to sync

## Check the internet connection

It sounds obvious but local internet issues or not enough bandwidth can be the root cause of performance problems in Azure and it’s often overlooked.

## Internet issues at user’s home

- High latency could be causing delays
- Poor WiFi could be causing dropouts or disconnects
- Are too many people in the house using the internet at the same time?
- Again, check that the bandwidth is sufficient

If you are experiencing any of these performance problems and you need help, [get in touch](https://content.ziptechservices.co.uk/contact-us) or give us a call on 0203 981 0850.
