Consultant - Architecture Solution at Onepoint

Provides versatile data storage solutions with a simple setup and easy to use

It's similar to S3 for AWS. The ability to store everything inside Blob or Object storage and use it for archiving data is beneficial. For example, you can transform data from relational databases, flatten it, and store it in Object storage to save space within the databases. If I want to save data and do not require legacy access, it's a good solution, for instance, to migrate archives from databases to Object storage. This can also be used for business intelligence purposes. Having a storage solution for data makes it the best place to store it. Azure has its own solution for StatsQ Web Apps.

A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement

There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

"Object Storage's best feature is that it's easy to deploy."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pros

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."

"The technical support for the solution was very nice."

"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."

Cons

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"We've seen some performance issues with Azure Table storage. It's quite slow. The performance surrounding it should be improved to speed things up a bit."

"Our current Azure setup faces challenges with API connectivity, particularly due to misconfigurations related to changes in Azure Graph."

"We experienced an outage issue recently, which affected its overall stability and reliability."

"Object Storage's integration with other backup software could be improved."

"The solution's stability should be improved."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage cons

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."

"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."

"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."

"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."

"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."

"Object Storage is competitively priced."

"The cost should be reduced to make it more competitive."
