User Testimonials
	Azure StorSimple	Navisite Managed Infrastructure Services (NaviCloud)
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	NaviSite Clarify before hand any additional charges for remote hand and arrangement/SLA for remote hand. Negotiate well on these terms as they tend to be more flexible around this. Clarify shipping and handling charges if any. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Performance via the SSD drives. Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure. Easy to Admin via Web client interface. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	NaviSite 24/7 monitoring Immediate notification in the event of failures Dedicated Senior DBA Dedicate Account rep Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Additional fail-over functionality Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	NaviSite San Jose facility power outage caused damage to company's credibility, this should not occur again being 7x24 facility and backup generator Avoiding too many management changes will help create good connection with individuals for sustained harmony Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	NaviSite Price and facility equipment, location of the hosting facility factor into the decision to renew Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	NaviSite Navisite's rates were better and they seemed to have more SQL Server expertise. This was about 5 years ago and it may not be the case anymore Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team Great value on year 2 Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	NaviSite Cost savings by not having a full-time DBA on staff - saving of at least 50K a year Data team not on call 24/7 Navisite team will try to fix issue if possible - e.g. shrink log files that have grown Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
