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 easy to use, especially for individuals who are not familiar with coding and has security built-in.""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.""You can scale the solution if you need to.""The solution is cheap and helps consolidate infrastructure to a converged space compatible with medium customers.""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.""It's a good and cost effective solution for any organization. We can deploy the tech solution on premises and also in the cloud.""I appreciate that all the tools are available natively within Azure. It's all set up nicely. It's all minor.""If a user wants to upgrade Office 365 from any of the packages, there is no disruption happening during migration, and the data is kept safe. There's no loss of data."

"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
"I would like to see better support for containers.""There are some minor issues or bugs with it that I know are there.""One aspect that I consider a drawback is the cost associated with Azure Stack, as its deployment expenses tend to be on the higher side compared to other solutions.""There are limits to the bandwidth and sizing of the images.""I would only recommend this solution to smaller organizations like ours because I cannot really speculate what big issues that the bigger organizations will face.""The technical support team's response time needs improvement.""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.""Azure Stack is an expensive product that should be made more cost-effective."

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

  • "The cost of Azure Stack is much cheaper than VCE."
  • "Pricing is always a hot topic, so the pricing can always improve."
