Cons
"There are limits to the bandwidth and sizing of the images.""Some tools do not run without the internet.""It would be great if Azure Stack would enable VDI creation and positive and negative artificial intelligence.""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 I were to mention an area that could be enhanced, it might be technical support, as there have been observations that the response time is not as fast as some of its competitors like Google.""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.""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."

More Azure Stack Cons →

"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""There are still some things that could be improved about the product.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""The pricing can be better.""The reporting has room for improvement.""We've had some challenges with the implementation.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better.""Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
