We performed a comparison between Azure Stack and VMware Software Defined Data Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The best thing about this product is that it is user-friendly and intuitive."
"It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud."
"The most valuable thing about Azure Stack is that it provides a unified control panel for managing cloud services."
"It's a good and cost effective solution for any organization. We can deploy the tech solution on premises and also in the cloud."
"The admin dashboard is the main feature of the solution."
"The most valuable features are that it is a Hybrid, and we can easily integrate with the Microsoft Public Cloud."
"It is probably the best solution out there."
"Using this solution will provide you with a lot of features for working with multiple VMware hosts."
"The solution does not occupy much space."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the infrastructure as a service."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the SDDC Manager."
"The VMware Software Defined Data Center Manager can be used to manage VMs across multiple platforms."
"The most valuable feature is the strong support. Also, the H-Appliance feature that supports MPLS is very important to us."
"The documentation is very good."
"The feature set and the maturity of the product are most valuable."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for containers."
"Azure Stack is an expensive product that should be made more cost-effective."
"For some years, Azure has been working on Synapse. It's their big footprint on the analytics stack. It's a little bit heavy right now in the sense that there are too many components and it's too complex."
"The solution is not user friendly. I'd prefer to move over to AWS, which is much easier in this sense."
"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."
"I would like to see better network integration."
"PaaS is not ready because they are only offering MS SQL as a service, web applications as a service, and containers as a service."
"We have some Intel machines and some AMD machines, are we cannot mix these within the same cluster."
"The automation of the solution needs improvement. We should be able to automate some processes."
"They are using vRealize Log Insight as the virtualized log platform, but this solution is not well developed and not yet ready to use for advanced optimization and troubleshooting."
"We would like to see more analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning capabilities in their products."
"My main problem is that they are changing the interfaces frequently, and each interface is incompatible with the last one. So you have to be in constant learning mode."
"There's quite a lot of uncertainty at the moment regarding the solution following the Broadcom acquisition of VMware."
"There could be more insights for hyper-cloud solutions in terms of enhanced configuration."
"The main problem that we are facing with this solution is vSAN stability."
