DIFFERENCES Comparison
SKUDONET Enterprise vs. Azure
Azure Application Gateway
(and its ecosystem)
Fragmented Architecture
Azure does not offer a unified ADC solution. Instead, users must combine multiple services to achieve enterprise-grade delivery and security.
Limited Control
Users have reported suboptimal experiences with Citrix support, citing delays and a lack of specialized assistance, which can hinder timely issue resolution.
Cost Complexity
Each Azure component is billed independently, often with variable usage-based pricing, which can lead to budget unpredictability, especially in high-traffic environments.
Cloud-Only Model
Azure services are designed for cloud deployments. Organizations that operate in hybrid or on-prem may find it challenging to deploy or adapt Azure services to meet specific control or compliance requirements.
