What differentiates Microsoft Azure Arc from other similar products?

Based on hands-on use, Azure Arc offers true centralized management across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments. All from the Azure Portal. Unlike other solutions that require separate interfaces, Azure Arc integrates deeply with Azure native tools like Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, and Monitor, allowing us to apply unified governance, security baselines, and monitoring across our entire infrastructure. Its ability to onboard non-Azure machines and Kubernetes clusters and treat them as first-class Azure resources is a plus. We鈥檝e seen improved compliance tracking, streamlined incident response, and reduced tool sprawl.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

From direct experience managing hybrid environments, my favorite aspect of Microsoft Azure Arc is its seamless onboarding of non-Azure servers and Kubernetes clusters and the ability to manage them as first-class Azure resources. This functionality has completely transformed how we handle hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. With Azure Arc, we were able to onboard our on-premises Windows and Linux servers, as well as self hosted Kubernetes clusters, directly into the Azure control plane. Once onboarded, these resources appeared in the Azure Portal just like native Azure VMs and services, allowing us to assign Azure (RBAC).

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about this product is the initial onboarding and agent deployment. This can be time consuming, especially in large or firewalled environments. Managing connectivity and installing agents across diverse systems without automation is challenging. Documentation for complex setups, like proxies or private networks is still somewhat fragmented, making troubleshooting harder. Kubernetes integration is powerful but has a steep learning curve, particularly when configuring GitOps and Defender for Cloud.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Drawing from experience, I would recommend for someone considering this product to start with a small pilot on key hybrid workloads to validate network readiness and test policy, RBAC, and agent deployment (ideally using automation such as PowerShell DSC or Azure Automation). Ensure you have a clear governance model, meet all network prerequisites, and plan for compliance and monitoring. Azure Arc delivers strong value, but success depends on careful planning and alignment across teams. When done right, it unifies management across cloud, on-prem, and edge.
