Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is easy to use.""The whole package works very well together for identity management, defending endpoints or servers, and the CM.""Azure offers a wide range of services, catering to various needs.""The best thing about this product is that it is user-friendly and intuitive.""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.""It is probably the best solution out there.""It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud.""The initial setup is very, very simple."

"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
"The technical support team's response time needs improvement.""Microsoft is changing the Azure Stack interface all the time, so it's sometimes hard to find the functionality or the service you're looking for. A feature was in one place and now it has moved somewhere else.""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.""In some cases, we've seen that some financial software is not working correctly or compatible with Azure Stack. Many companies build this, but some third-party products may not be compatible with Azure Stack. So these are some areas of improvement.""If you look at the documentation set, there are rims and rims of it. You try to drive something from the console, and it's quite complex. It's not it's not easy and straightforward. You've gotta sit down and review it, look at the documentation, and work your way through it. It's not intuitive.""The setup for Azure becomes more complex when you have multiple users and multiple organizations using the same solution, but this is to be expected.""Customers need to consider the Disaster Recovery. Microsoft tech is only providing support to Azure.""I think the monitoring tools needs some improvement."
