"The admin dashboard is the main feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment for services such as SSH, creating a web site, and Azure billing services to measure the consumption of resources."
"It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud."
"The solution is easy to use, especially for individuals who are not familiar with coding and has security built-in."
"Technical support is quick and responsive."
"he ease of deploying virtual machines is the solution's most valuable feature. Moving virtual machines from one post to another is easy. Within minutes you can easily deploy your virtual machines and deploy your applications as well."
"The most valuable feature is its central management system."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is integration because everything is available on a single pane of glass."
"Using this solution will provide you with a lot of features for working with multiple VMware hosts."
"It is very easy to do technology refreshments, patching, and upgrades with almost zero downtime. Its easy to bring servers online within few minutes."

"I feel that Azure Stack has so many different variables which are not very clear...In general, the initial setup phase of Azure Stack is an area with concern that needs improvement."
"Some tools do not run without the internet."
"It should be improved in terms of integrations. It could be integrated more with external tools."
"There should be more focus on the user interface, specifically for the management console."
"PaaS is not ready because they are only offering MS SQL as a service, web applications as a service, and containers as a service."
"It is not easy to set up. Technical expertise is required."
"I would like to see better support for containers."
"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."
"It would be great to have compatibility with vendors like UCS."
"The automation of the solution needs improvement. We should be able to automate some processes."
"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 could be more insights for hyper-cloud solutions in terms of enhanced configuration."
"There's quite a lot of uncertainty at the moment regarding the solution following the Broadcom acquisition of VMware."
"One area where it could improve is in the user interface."
"We have some Intel machines and some AMD machines, are we cannot mix these within the same cluster."
