Azure Stack Reviews

We are a solution provider and Azure Stack is one of the products that we implement for our clients. One of our clients is using it as an IaaS, where they have control over the infrastructure.

As we learn more about this product, security-wise, and about the tools that are available, we can apply this to what our customers are looking for.

The most valuable features are the control and flexibility that we have, where we can build our own solutions from scratch.

Azure Stack integrates well with other tools.

There are documentation and tools available for use, and they are good.

One of the problems is that systems still have to be developed and as things move forward, we have to build a lot of our Azure Stack solutions from scratch. It does not give you a complete, production-ready setup.

We are still exploring Azure Stack and are in the requirement gathering phase.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

The initial setup is not complex.

We have an in-house team for deployment. We have different internal teams and generally do not rely on third-party vendors.

We are satisfied with the pricing.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to first look at the people within the community. They have provided details about their experience and it's a good place to start understanding and analyzing, before beginning the implementation. It will give you an idea as to costs, as well as how to integrate with your environment.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

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 reporting for the interim monitoring purpose could be improved. Right now Windows Admin Center is on the level with Victor Server 2019. But we need to work on the same tool, so we provide them some code features on the same tool. It's very useful for any organization and an administrator.

Additionally, customers need to consider Disaster Recovery. Microsoft tech is only providing support to Azure. We would like to see it available for other services and solutions on the cloud, too, as well as a solution for Oracle backup.

I have been using Azure Stack for three years.

There is one bug we are facing now. In one of the organizations in which we have deployed Azure, when we are moving the VM from node A to node B, sometimes it gets stuck. We already raised the case with Microsoft. They are working on it with us. We involved the hardware and software teams from Microsoft. They gave us a solution and now the issue is under observation.

In terms of scalability, there is a calculator available and we can convert the scalability with it.

Because a chain solution was introduced by Nutanix to a Moscow based organization, Microsoft wants to introduce the same solution, but with better features including Microsoft 2019. So 110%, because some are using the Microsoft Azure tech right now in India.

There are about 10 - 15,000 users. They are providing the data production manager, data backup and are showing the customer that we can do a backup on GP back in 60 seconds. In Microsoft Azure, the only option is a little data backup which we need to buy through some third party tool to take a backup of our VM. Otherwise, we need to take a subscription on our Azure to make a side recovery for the VR purpose or the higher rating purpose. A good figure is also real time monitoring. But with Microsoft Azure Suite, the monitoring tool is a little bit weak.

I am satisfied with Microsoft customer service, they provided us with a good solution.

The initial setup was really simple. We did not face any difficulty when we deployed the SAP solution with the Microsoft SA.

My team and I did the deployment.

If we are trying to deploy the Microsoft suite, first of all, we need to buy the data center licenses. Datacenter licenses are only used for verification solutions. Using that as a solution, we can declare an unlimited number of four VMs on the hardware. I spent a contribution to the hardware, the code, and the processes, and that all depends on the hardware architecture.

On a scale of 1 - 10, I can give Microsoft Azure Stack a 9.

We use Azure Stack for our of our customer applications.

We used to maintain our infrastructure and everything was on-premises. Azure Stack has helped us with moving to the cloud.

This is one of the top cloud providers and we pretty much use all of the features.

The integration seems to be good.

Having more options and customization would be an improvement.

We have been using Azure Stack for the past couple of years.

We have not really had any problems with bugs or glitches.

The scalability is good.

We have been in contact with technical support and the support they provide is pretty good. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

Prior to using this cloud platform, everything we had was on-premises.

I think that the initial setup is okay.

This is definitely a product that I recommend. It has every feature that we need and overall, it's pretty good.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

In general, it provides the flexibility for configuration for bigger teams. 

They can provide more integration with other services, such as
components, open source, because I use these services.

I have been using Azure Stack for five years. I use it on a daily basis.

Around 10 architects, engineers, and developers in my company use this solution.

It is a stable solution.

It is easy to scale.

Everything is okay in terms of technical support. We have support from our side. For some minor stuff, we need to get back to the vendor. 

The initial setup was simple. It took a few hours.

It was done by my company. 

It is in the medium range cost-wise. For each component, I sort of buy licensing. Each component has its licensing fee by the number of users or by size.

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Azure Stack an eight out of ten. 

I am using the Azure Stack for Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Basically, I use the OCR from Microsoft, which is the reason for using Azure.

The most valuable feature is the OCR, which I use for reading PDFs.

The price of the OCR could be more competitive with Google.

I have been using the Azure stack for about four months.

I have had no issues with stability.

My rating for scalability would be an eight out of ten. I just have not used it long enough to rate it higher than that.

I have not yet needed to contact technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I did not need help with deployment and we have an in-house team for maintenance.

The price of using Azure Stack for OCR is more expensive than using OCR by Google.

I have tested many different OCRs, including one from Google Cloud, and this is one of the best that I have ever seen.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to start small. As you gain experience and confidence with the platform, you can expand to larger tasks.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Azure Stack to deliver Microsoft's Azure services from our organization's data center.

Azure Stack is a good product because it's flexible and easy to work with.

It depends on the type of user, as some users prefer an easy tool and environment for management. Other users prefer a detailed setting of the environment and console. I can tell you what would be better from the point of view of different users. It is one of the programs we are finding a proper solution for to know if a user finds it easy using only pictures and the possibility of what they can do in this environment.

I have been using Azure Stack for the past year and a half.

In our small testing environment, we had no problem with stability. However, we already created special technologies, so it's an evaluation of all the environments that we'll bring to do the final project because they have something created on their own technology and now it is a question if they will change it or not.

Azure Stack should be open to different technologies for more virtualization environments to accept it. With that, it would be acceptable to have different interfaces from other technologies, as they are already included in some environments.

We had the possibility of communicating with a Microsoft technician, and their support was satisfactory.

I cannot answer this question because I joined the project when they had installed Azure Stack on computers used for the projects.

I would recommend Azure Stack because it is one of the best technologies in this environment and the programs are easy to use.

Azure is less complex and easier to use than AWS.

I would like to have access to more services and more functionality.

In the future, I would like to see more machine learning features.

I have been using Azure Stack for approximately six months.

This solution is definitely stable.

You can scale easily.

The support is good and they are very responsive.

It is not too complex to set up Azure Stack. It was faster to deploy than the AWS solution that we tried.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud.

It would be better to have more services and functionality when it comes to database software and computing. I would also like to see more computing features.

I have been using Azure Stack for four to six months.

It's pretty stable.

It's easy to scale. 

Customer support is good and was handled responsibly.

The setup isn't complex and is faster than AWS.

Commercially, Azure Stack is cheaper than AWS.

I would give Azure Stack an eight out of ten.
