How Alternatives Are Selected

1. VMware Cloud Foundation

4.2

While the product itself is still best in class for virtualization, our experience with Broadcom during the procurement process was not a good experience. VCF is their top tier product and while other products exist, Broadcom made it prohibitively expensive to select any other option than VCF.

2. Azure Local

By Microsoft

4.4

(75 Ratings)

Positive overall experience, especially for hybrid cloud scenarios. It essentially brings the Azure experience into your own data center or edge locations, which is incredibly useful when you need low latency, strict data control or to run workloads locally. What stands out is how consistent it feels with the cloud. Same tools, same portal, same APIs, but running on hardware you own. That said, it is not a lightweight solution - it requires solid planning, infrastructure and Azure knowledge to get right.

(66 Ratings)

It is not bad, but since it uses hyperconvergence in some scenarios the storage speed is not good enough as it is in a SAN based storage.

4. AWS Outposts

By Amazon Web Services (AWS)

4.4

(39 Ratings)

AWS Outposts has effectively bridged the gap between our on premises requirments and our cloud first strategy. It provides a truly consistent hybrid experience, allowing us to use the same APIs, consoles and tools we use in the cloud right in our own data center. This has been instrumental for our workloads that require ultra low latency to local factor systems

6. AWS Local Zones

By Amazon Web Services (AWS)

4.4

(34 Ratings)

I give AWS local zones a 4 star rating because it does a great job reducing latency for applications by bringing infrastructure closer to end users, and it integrates well with core Amazon Web Services services.However, limited availability, fewer supported services compared to full regions and higher cost in some cases prevent it from being a full 5 star solution.

7. Red Hat OpenShift

By IBM (Red Hat)

4.3

(26 Ratings)

Overall positive experience with our private cloud setup. It gave us a more enterprise ready kubernetes platform. Standardization and the security model in particular have worked well. What worked less well was the added platform complexity and learning curve compared to vanilla Kubernetes.
