Writing a sensible filtering query solves the large DB and bloat problem right there. HA is one of the biggest problems, but again with good filtering, the cache can handle short outages (less than a couple days) with no data loss. Better and more SSRS reports would have made it really great.<br /><br />OMS suffers the same problem of huge amounts of data without filtering, so it's the same problem as ACS. However the query performance is better in that case because of the Azure infrastructure being beefy. Otherwise it's a solid solution.<br /><br />From what I've seen though, it's just deceptively really expensive. If you are putting in the work to clamp down on data to reduce your OMS costs, you could have done the same for ACS and taken the same amount of time. <br /><br />But as "Unknown" said above, the "cloud first" mantra gets in the way of customers. If ACS were developed into a more mature solution, it would be a great out of the box solution for a lot of shops. Heck, ideally, they'd have a way to collect into ACS, then push that directly into OMS for better reporting, archival, and more, if you wanted it. But Microsoft won't do that because it's all Cloud Only now, even if you have an on-prem or hybrid environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-86789224249246649522016-09-22T07:52:07.388+02:002016-09-22T07:52:07.388+02:00To be fair ACS is pretty much almost a 10 year old...To be fair ACS is pretty much almost a 10 year old solution, it really should have seen a revamp by now with SysCtr 2016 on the way.

OMS is a better experience than ACS for sure, but OMS is far more expensive. ACS probably could have been fixed but Microsoft's mantra of "cloud first" got in the way. I don't see either taking off for many customers due to the high cost. It's a shame. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469487998450363691noreply@blogger.com
