Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Azure offers a wide range of services, catering to various needs.""The admin dashboard is the main feature of the solution.""The solution is easy to use, especially for individuals who are not familiar with coding and has security built-in.""Azure is less complex and easier to use than AWS.""I appreciate that all the tools are available natively within Azure. It's all set up nicely. It's all minor.""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.""Technical support is quick and responsive.""The stability is good. We haven't had any issues with the viability or scalability. It's been good so far."

"The scalability is good.""I've been very pleased with their support overall.""The solution can scale well.""The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data.""Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful.""The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud.""In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution.""The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."

Cons
"Azure Messaging services are in need of improvement.""Overall support needs improvement because they are not agile across services.""The solution's price is high, and the implementation process is difficult. I would like to see a lower price and simpler implementation for Azure Stack.""The user experience could be improved to make it more comfortable.""I believe the only room for improvement is that I am based in Nairobi, if it has even a local node for Azure, I believe most customers will prefer that to reduce latencies and everything else when using the Azure Stack.""I think the monitoring tools needs some improvement.""The price of the OCR could be more competitive with Google.""It's not stable as IBM solutions. It fully supports all the .NET solutions, but our main applications are based in Java. So in those cases, we've had some minor problems with Azure, but Microsoft always says that it can handle this stuff."

More Azure Stack Cons →

"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be.""We've had some challenges with the implementation.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""The pricing can be better.""The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""The reporting has room for improvement."
