Revert to Azure Managed Disk snapshot on Azure VM
Yes, I've seen it. However, in order to revert back to the VM's original state, you must delete the original VM, then create a new VM from the snapshot by running a PS script and manually entering many required parameters.

This process seems awfully involved, even risky and prone for mistakes.
What we're looking for is something similar to VMWare where you can take a quick snapshot just before making changes to the VM (e.g. upgrade the OS/apps, make config changes, etc). If something fails, you can easily revert back to the VM's original Snapshot state by simple clicking a button.
Thanks for considering.
Hope this helps,
