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."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 most valuable aspect is its ability to provide interfaces for events."
"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."
"AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and API to our on-premises data center or co-location facilities."
"With AWS, we've had seamless integration and support for many of our applications."
"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."
"The DSR feature is valuable because we have internal clustering, and these features are good for us."
"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 feature of this solution is the disaster recovery software."
"The product enables flexibility in network structures."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of migrating from on-premises infrastructure when transitioning away from older systems."
"We are using it for infrastructure automation."
"The most valuable area is the ECS environment which includes many features."
"The most valuable aspect of VMware Cloud Foundation is you can manage everything from area."
"Depending on the installation process, we have found some bugs and issues with the solution when the same platform is not used."
"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 platform needs to spend more time investing in strengthening its governance and information tools and consider the real needs of its customers."
"It would be beneficial to have the option for capacity expansion."
"Also, it would be beneficial if AWS allowed for more granular and customizable pricing options."
"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."
"It would be great if it could support Glue services."
"The documentation could be easier to read"
"The deployment is clumsy and complex. There are too many things that need to be done in order to deploy."
"The use of cloud and other integrations need to be improved and made easier."
"The price could be better. VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for. It would be better if it were cheaper because it would be easier to go to customers and get them to buy it. We'd get more projects, and that would be great."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"Cost is a challenge when convincing clients, especially for large deals."
"The tool's price tag is high."
"The solution is quite expensive."
