Azure Stack Reviews

When we engage Azure Stack, it's very easy to lift and shift. That's why we've been successful because we can be clear and fast in understanding workflows from the customer.  

The most valuable feature is the clear and user-friendly interface.

Azure Stack could be improved with more integration, governance tools, monitor tools, and lift and shift tools. We also have problems with the capacity usage. In the next release, Azure should include a tool to manage the journey during the lift and shift process and identify where integration is needed.

I've been using Azure Stack for four to five years.

Azure Stack is stable.

The setup and integration are straightforward.

The premium version is too costly.

For those thinking about implementing Azure Stack, it's important to understand the customer's workflow and whether you're talking about IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS. I would rate Azure Stack as five out of ten.

Azure Stack is like a hybrid model with a CI/CD pipeline. The IaaS and PaaS model works well with a hybrid type of connectivity.

Our only issue with Azure Stack so far is that the networking is very closed. You need to have the extended LAN to connect the internal LAN to the Azure Stack. Any connection we have needs site-to-site VPN connectivity instead of an internal connection, so Azure Stack has room for improvement in the networking area.

We've been using Azure Stack for more than two years.

Azure Stack is stable. 

Azure Stack is scalable, and it has governance features also.

We have third-party technical support. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's extended.

Setting up Azure Stack is easy.

The price of Azure Stack is higher relative to other solutions. 

I rate Azure Stack seven out of 10.

The solution is geared towards customers with large Microsoft footprints, in which it is very advanced. There is tight integration in respect of Microsoft workloads and extremely intelligent performance. Customers can use it to run SQL Server, Active Directory, VDI, Windows Server and other workloads. Many users use it for their dynamics, although I am not aware of a lot of deployments with SAP HANA. One who has a 60 or 70 percent footprint in the data center with Microsoft can save a lot. 

Azure Stack is a really good product when it comes to the functionality and the Azure Stack offer. Its most attractive feature is the licensing. The virtualization is in-built and free and it offers almost all the functionalities someone looks for from the Azure platform. 

Now that the solution is transitioning to a hybrid cloud approach, the licensing is not determined by the number of instances and this can result in huge savings. 

A subscription model customer will not need to do much up front purchasing. He can obtain all the up to date features offered on public cloud and grow at the rate he feels is best, with the attendant savings. 

I would like to see better network integration. 

While they are working on security, several things can be brought in on the networking side, such as extending to networks stretching in between data centers. These are absent at the moment. It would be good to have a single control plane for the networking.

I have around two years of experience with Azure Stack. 

The solution is certainly stable. 

The solution is definitely scalable. 

Installation is straightforward and not very involved. It can even be automated. 

The deployment was straightforward and really nice. While creating a system and configuring a cluster is possible, it would be really beneficial to do this in the reverse, since the cluster can be pushed in using the hardware management ID. 

While deployment is straightforward, it would require a good skill set with Microsoft technologies and a certain amount of networking knowledge to handle any trouble which may arise. 

The licensing is one of the solution's most attractive features. 

Subscription model customers need not make large expenditures on upfront purchasing. 

A customer must purchase the software needed for Microsoft support, if he wishes to have this. This would incur a monthly fee. But, the upcoming Azure Stack HCl, which is hybrid cloud, does not involve an upfront purchase, only a subscription-based fee. 

I work with Lenovo as a consultant, which means I handle deployment for others. 

We have a handlful of customers, most of whom are using Microsoft products, but some of whom use Windows. Many go with the Azure Stack solution. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Azure Stack as an eight out of ten. 

Last year I used the solution to develop phone applications. We did some work with AAD which is the Azure Active Directory. We used the solution to its full potential.

The solution is easy to use, especially for individuals who are not familiar with coding and has security built-in.

The user interface could be more user friendly.

I have been using the solution for more than six years.

We have a team of five that use the solution in our organization and they do all the development for us.

The support for the solution is very helpful. They are responsive and return with resolutions quickly.

The installation is easy, there are only a few clicks.

I did the installation myself.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Azure Stack a nine out of ten.

We use Azure Stack to deliver Microsoft's Azure services from our organization's data center.

Azure Stack is a good product because it's flexible and easy to work with.

It depends on the type of user, as some users prefer an easy tool and environment for management. Other users prefer a detailed setting of the environment and console. I can tell you what would be better from the point of view of different users. It is one of the programs we are finding a proper solution for to know if a user finds it easy using only pictures and the possibility of what they can do in this environment.

I have been using Azure Stack for the past year and a half.

In our small testing environment, we had no problem with stability. However, we already created special technologies, so it's an evaluation of all the environments that we'll bring to do the final project because they have something created on their own technology and now it is a question if they will change it or not.

Azure Stack should be open to different technologies for more virtualization environments to accept it. With that, it would be acceptable to have different interfaces from other technologies, as they are already included in some environments.

We had the possibility of communicating with a Microsoft technician, and their support was satisfactory.

I cannot answer this question because I joined the project when they had installed Azure Stack on computers used for the projects.

I would recommend Azure Stack because it is one of the best technologies in this environment and the programs are easy to use.

Azure is less complex and easier to use than AWS.

I would like to have access to more services and more functionality.

In the future, I would like to see more machine learning features.

I have been using Azure Stack for approximately six months.

This solution is definitely stable.

You can scale easily.

The support is good and they are very responsive.

It is not too complex to set up Azure Stack. It was faster to deploy than the AWS solution that we tried.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud.

It would be better to have more services and functionality when it comes to database software and computing. I would also like to see more computing features.

I have been using Azure Stack for four to six months.

It's pretty stable.

It's easy to scale. 

Customer support is good and was handled responsibly.

The setup isn't complex and is faster than AWS.

Commercially, Azure Stack is cheaper than AWS.

I would give Azure Stack an eight out of ten.

We use Azure Stack for our of our customer applications.

We used to maintain our infrastructure and everything was on-premises. Azure Stack has helped us with moving to the cloud.

This is one of the top cloud providers and we pretty much use all of the features.

The integration seems to be good.

Having more options and customization would be an improvement.

We have been using Azure Stack for the past couple of years.

We have not really had any problems with bugs or glitches.

The scalability is good.

We have been in contact with technical support and the support they provide is pretty good. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

Prior to using this cloud platform, everything we had was on-premises.

I think that the initial setup is okay.

This is definitely a product that I recommend. It has every feature that we need and overall, it's pretty good.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
