Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With AWS, we've had seamless integration and support for many of our applications."
"The most valuable aspect is its ability to provide interfaces for events."
"The most valuable aspect is that it comes in a rack form factor which makes it incredibly easy to use and deploy various AWS services."
"AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and API to our on-premises data center or co-location facilities."
"I think the keys to success for the solution is the easy-to-use user interface and the fact that the development team really likes the platform."
"Outposts allows you to isolate your private environment from the public cloud provider while enabling almost all the features that are available on public cloud services. That is the beauty of this service. It's an infrastructure that you can put in your data center and seamlessly connect to the public cloud."
"If you compare with the full bundle of these services, you can see the difference. This is enough for these locations in private data centers. Because the main reasons why the customers want to have it on their side are for the low latency and the security of their critical data."
"The mission aspect of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features in VMware Cloud Foundation are life cycle management and ease of use."
"They have in release 4.0 features from vSphere and Cloud Suite. It's a complete data center."
"I like that VMware Cloud Foundation reduces both the installation and setup time from a matter of weeks to hours."
"We are using it for infrastructure automation."
"VMware Cloud Foundation provides us with the vSphere dashboard through which we can manage, monitor, schedule, and spin up your virtual machines. We can manage, monitor, and get reports of your infrastructure."
"The most valuable area is the ECS environment which includes many features."
"I'm able to deploy many platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, and Azure on VMware."
"It would be beneficial to have the option for capacity expansion."
"Depending on the installation process, we have found some bugs and issues with the solution when the same platform is not used."
"Also, it would be beneficial if AWS allowed for more granular and customizable pricing options."
"It would be great if it could support Glue services."
"Outposts supports elastic coordinator services, but not elastic container services, which is the native service for containers in AWS. That is something missing in this product."
"The pricing model needs improvement because right now it's very expensive. All of these solutions are very expensive and it prevents other customers or owners of data centers from buying it."
"The platform needs to spend more time investing in strengthening its governance and information tools and consider the real needs of its customers."
"I would like to be able to connect the APIs."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"Cost is a challenge when convincing clients, especially for large deals."
"VMware Cloud Foundation could be more flexible in terms of supporting other integration and components."
