Pros
"It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud.""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.""It's a good and cost effective solution for any organization. We can deploy the tech solution on premises and also in the cloud.""The solution is easy to use, especially for individuals who are not familiar with coding and has security built-in.""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.""In general, it provides the flexibility for configuration for bigger teams.""The product has remained stable so far in our company.""The solution is pretty stable."

"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
"Azure Stack could be improved with more integration, governance tools, monitor tools, and lift and shift tools.""The user interface could be more user friendly.""I would like to see better support for containers.""The fact that it is completely integrated into Azure, while positive, is also a downside.""For some years, Azure has been working on Synapse. It's their big footprint on the analytics stack. It's a little bit heavy right now in the sense that there are too many components and it's too complex.""The licensing model of Azure Stack is complicated.""Having more options and customization would be an improvement.""Azure Stack is an expensive product that should be made more cost-effective."
