    • There's a bit of bias towards cloud with ADL Analytics. Depending upon a company's infra strategy and investment plans, there are some challenges with migration and integeration.
    • Not worth the time/effort/money if the organization doesn't have "Volume" of data. Cost effective only when daily loads exceed around 1million.
    • While training materials are available online, Adoption rate - Yet to pick up.

Another thing we considered during this process was the fact that we have more people that already have Azure Cloud knowledge.
