"Storage is one of the most beneficial features of cloud providers, specifically Azure because when you are working in their cloud environment, you can easily use a storage interface and a storage object that is provided by Microsoft Azure. In a local environment, you have to be involved in establishing and setting up distributed storage file systems for containers which are very difficult and complex. In a cloud environment, you are not concerned about the storage and the dashboard provides you with storage objects with high availability."

This limitation has caused some challenges for us."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing costs. There can be better licensing costs."
"f Microsoft Azure can provide GUI dashboards for end-users and administrators to work separately to manage all the Kubernetes clusters without a need to connect to Azure environments and through CLI it would be better."
"Since the product is fully managed, it is expensive."
"In the future, I would like to see it generalized and have the ability to better integrate with open-source tools."
"Standard support could be more helpful and responsive."
"In terms of the container strategy, they need to make it more compliant with the Linux OS."
"I wasn't very impressed with the documentation."
"The customization is an area that needs improvement."
