What differentiates Microsoft Azure Arc from other similar products?

It has multiple functionalities and compatibility - for example it is easily implementable with both Windows and Linux as well as having a range of functions ready to be run on it upon setup.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect is the broad compatibility (not just Windows specific but Linux too) and the fact that it is one of the easiest cloud services to manage and initially implement. It seriously improves efficiency in the set-up process.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It doesn’t have the best performance and is quite pricy but it does provide a large range of functions and features to improve operations so this cushions the blow a bit.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend looking into the range of compatibility with this product as well as the breadth of features to see how much value this will provide for your business and it’s operations.
