What Microsoft Marketplace is
aqua cloud is not listed on the Microsoft Marketplace, Microsoft’s official catalogue of cloud software, AI apps, and agents. Publishers apply, submit their solution, and pass Microsoft’s listing and technical review before anything appears publicly. Buyers browse the catalogue the same way they browse first-party Azure services.
It is worth being precise about what that review covers. Microsoft checks listing content, technical configuration, and policy compliance. It is not a security audit, and it does not replace your own vendor assessment. What it gives your team is a verified publisher record and a product entry in a standard format, which is a faster starting point than a vendor questionnaire sent cold.
For the security questions that follow, our ISO 27001 certification is the document your CISO will actually want.
What you can assess through the listing
The listing answers the questions that come up early in a test management evaluation.
Functional scope. What aqua covers across test management, requirement management, defect management, and reporting.
Vendor record. aqua cloud GmbH as the publisher, with product information in Microsoft’s standard format and a listing reviewed by Microsoft before publication.
Compliance status. aqua is ISO 27001 certified and supports customers subject to DORA requirements. We serve regulated customers in banking, insurance, and government, where full traceability from requirement to test case to defect is what keeps an audit trail intact.
Toolchain compatibility. Our Azure DevOps integration synchronizes requirements, defects, and tasks in both directions.
Our pricing page adds the commercial detail: license types, starting prices, and the free Guest license with unlimited seats that comes with every plan.
That last point on toolchain compatibility is the relevant one for organizations standardized on Microsoft tooling. Azure DevOps covers planning, source control, and pipelines, but it was not designed as a dedicated test management system. aqua provides that layer while your developers continue to work in Azure DevOps.
How licensing works
The listing is your entry point for discovery and evaluation. Scope, licensing, and pricing are then agreed with our team directly, in three steps.
- Share the listing internally. The page serves as a neutral vendor reference for everyone who has to approve a new tool.
- Get in touch. Use the contact option on the listing, or reach us through our site. Either route reaches our team and receives a personal response.
- Agree scope and licensing. We prepare a quote based on your team size, your compliance requirements, and your choice between cloud and on-premise deployment.
Before the first call, it helps to have your team size, your current test management setup, and your deployment preference at hand. That is usually enough for us to prepare an accurate quote in one round.
Microsoft Marketplace is not our only listing. Teams working in Jira can also find aqua on the Atlassian Marketplace, where our app connects test cases and test suites to Jira work items.
If you hold an Azure consumption commitment
Organizations holding a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) commit to a defined level of Azure expenditure over an agreed term. aqua is MACC eligible: purchasing aqua through Microsoft Marketplace decrements that commitment up to 100% of the pretax invoice amount, which is why procurement functions often favour listed vendors.
In practice this means the budget is already approved. Instead of opening a separate line item for a test management tool, your team draws down spend you have committed to anyway. Whether the credit applies in your case depends on your own agreement with Microsoft, so it is worth confirming internally early.
If your procurement runs on an Azure commitment, tell us at the start of the conversation.
