Overview

Product Information on Microsoft Azure Event Grid

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Microsoft Azure Event Grid?

Microsoft Azure Event Grid is a software that enables event-based architectures by facilitating communication between applications and services using events. The software supports reliable event delivery, filtering, and routing, allowing developers to manage event-driven workflows across cloud and on-premises environments. By integrating with Azure services and custom applications, Azure Event Grid helps automate responses to system changes, data updates, or custom business events. The software addresses the business problem of decoupling event producers and consumers, thereby improving scalability and responsiveness of distributed systems through centralized event management.

Microsoft Azure Event Grid Pricing

Microsoft Azure Event Grid software uses a consumption-based pricing model where charges are based on the number of operations processed. The software distinguishes between different types of operations such as event ingress, advanced matches, and delivery attempts with separate costs applied to each. There may be additional charges for features such as premium capabilities or higher volume usage tiers.

Microsoft Azure Event Grid Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I like most about Azure Event Grid is its integration with the Azure ecosystem. which makes it very easy to connect to other azure services like operations, logic apps, and storage. This community connection, combined with high performance and low latency, allows us to launch events instantly and move to intensive work.Additionally the pay-per-event rate remains affordable by paying for actual usage, which is ideal for flexible demand

Like

Easy of use and reliability.

Like

It supports server-less architecture application in the cloud. It allows ops automation which simplified many processes in my organization. Our team was able to build more reliable cloud based applications.

Dislike

The main disadvantage of Azure Event Grid is that the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities within its portal are limited. while it is possible to manage events securely, it can be difficult to analyse issues or track specific events without a deep understanding. improved traditional analytics and more granular decision making while enhancing the debugging experience. Additionally, broader integration with non-azure services will make it more versatile across multiple cloud environments

Dislike

Cost.

Dislike

I think this product is very expensive. It is complex to understand the overall customization. This product needs to provide have a more user friendly experience.
