Quick time to market; great return on investment

Now everything is always changing and getting more performance and getting better and I think that, this is my sense of the answer, I mean, everything is working well, comparing with other products. I don't remember any kind of set down of course or something like that I can mention. That's my understanding, yeah. The Google Anthos business model could improve. As I understand, Google Anthos is not an internal part of the ecosystem. In fact, the Google sales effort and technical team are separated. In other words, the DCP was not voluntarily talking to the GCP. For example, if you need to talk to someone inside GCP about the connection or the integration with Anthos, the person who can help you is not in GCP. You would need to speak with someone inside Google. From the client perspective, this is not good. Overall, the management of the solution could be improved. The initial Google Anthos setup could be improved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is pretty stable."

"One of the features I really appreciate is the Hybrid Cloud Extension UI."

"The user interface is nice and very simple to use."

"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."

"It is helpful from a security point of view because we can create our own isolated, private environments that contain virtual networks, and we can put security rules in place."

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

"The solution's technical support is great since, in our company, we get answers to most of our questions, and most of our queries get resolved with the help of the documentation itself."

"We have found the Kubernetes version is one of the key components which we are using heavily."

More Azure Stack pros

"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

"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."

"It is not easy to set up. Technical expertise is required."

"It should be improved in terms of integrations. It could be integrated more with external tools."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The solution could be less expensive."

More Azure Stack cons

"The initial Google Anthos setup is not easy. Nothing is truly easy in the Google Anthos world."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, AWS might be relatively cheaper compared to Azure, but the deployment on Azure is much easier."

"The tool is affordable."

"We are satisfied with the pricing."

"In terms of pricing, my customers believe AWS is slightly more reasonably priced than Azure."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"I don't have a specific feature, my customers use all of the features that are available and the entire stack."

"The cost of Azure Stack is much cheaper than VCE."

"I am using my Microsoft license, and it costs monthly. You need to pay additional costs apart from the standard costs."
