IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
In my organization, we use Azure Arc to manage our multi cloud environment. We use Microsoft Azure as the main Cloud provider, and also use AWS as the secondary cloud provider. All these environments has multiple virtual machines. We also has on premise servers that are onboarded to Azure Arc. Through Azure Arc, we get centralized visibility, patch management, security & compliance covered.

- Security optimization and pricing
Likelihood to Recommend
It is best asset management & centralized monitoring across multi cloud environments. It can be used to access those assets, update them when necessary, implement Azure monitor to get insights. We can also onboard thsese assets to Microsoft Defender for Cloud to provide the cloud security. Azure Arc is not suitable for the client device management or use as a MDM.
