Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are that it is a Hybrid, and we can easily integrate with the Microsoft Public Cloud.""It has every feature that we need and overall, it's pretty good.""We use Azure Stack for migration, application modernization, and cloud-native modernization.""The setup is very straightforward and it's quite stable.""The admin dashboard is the main feature of the solution.""The solution pairs well with other MS services and saves us a lot of money.""Microsoft support is fast.""The solution's technical support is great since, in our company, we get answers to most of our questions, and most of our queries get resolved with the help of the documentation itself."

"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution.""The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters.""The solution can scale well.""The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data.""The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation.""I've been very pleased with their support overall.""The scalability is good.""Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."

Cons
"Overall support needs improvement because they are not agile across services.""There should be more focus on the user interface, specifically for the management console.""I would like to see the AI side come to one hundred percent in the near future.""Normally, in many countries, especially in the Middle East, there are government regulations for information technology itself. If government organizations want to host the cloud, they cannot take it from Microsoft directly; they must go through the local internet service providers, ISPs, or cloud solution providers locally.""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.""The setup for Azure becomes more complex when you have multiple users and multiple organizations using the same solution, but this is to be expected.""In the future, I would like to see more machine learning features.""The licensing model of Azure Stack is complicated."

More Azure Stack Cons →

"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better.""The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be.""We've had some challenges with the implementation.""The reporting has room for improvement.""There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
