Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The whole package works very well together for identity management, defending endpoints or servers, and the CM.""You can scale the solution if you need to.""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.""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.""Azure Stack integrates well with Microsoft. It's also good for transitioning from an on-premise or hybrid setup to the cloud. It's seamless.""The most valuable feature of Azure Stack is its ability to store and process large amounts of data.""The product has remained stable so far in our company.""Azure is less complex and easier to use than AWS."

"The Google Anthos feature I find the most valuable is the easy of use. In Google Anthos, you don't need to move along too many screens and so on. The interface is really helpful and understanding of the tool comes easily."

Cons
"As opposed to AWS, Azure is a costly solution. It's on par with AWS more than anything else.""Azure Stack could use some improvement when it comes to seamless support for disaster recovery scenarios of higher availability regarding multi-regions.""Overall support needs improvement because they are not agile across services.""It would be great if Azure Stack would enable VDI creation and positive and negative artificial intelligence.""The fact that it is completely integrated into Azure, while positive, is also a downside.""Azure Stack doesn't have all the services available in Microsoft Azure.""If I were to mention an area that could be enhanced, it might be technical support, as there have been observations that the response time is not as fast as some of its competitors like Google.""Normally, in many countries, especially in the Middle East, there are government regulations for information technology itself. If government organizations want to host the cloud, they cannot take it from Microsoft directly; they must go through the local internet service providers, ISPs, or cloud solution providers locally."
