If you’re looking for solutions to extend the capabilities of Microsoft Tools, you will find Microsoft’s official commerce platform: Azure Marketplace or Microsoft AppSource.  

Microsoft ensures that applications that extend Tools meet certain requirements. For this purpose, Azure Marketplace was created as a platform for Microsoft partners. Partners can present and offer their applications here as providers of independent software solutions.  

Available in more than 100 countries, Azure Marketplace makes it much easier for businesses, organizations and government agencies to buy applications.
