Microsoft Azure File Storage Reviews

Our use case depends on data structure types and needs of the customer. If I know that a customer has different types of structure, like semi-structured, unstructured, and structured data, then I have to use Azure Data Lake storage. If it's structured, I can directly use Azure SQL or Azure Synapse Analytics to process my data. 

The most valuable feature is that it supports many file formats like XML, CSV, XBRL, and media types. 

I think the pricing of the product can be reduced. 

I have been using the solution for one and a half years. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. Enterprises, medium and small businesses can use this solution. The size of the company doesn't matter. It's suitable for any sized company. 

The initial setup is simple. I would rate the setup a five out of ten. Consultants are required for the deployment of the solution. 

I would rate the pricing a six out of ten. 

My advice would be to get information about the products and features Microsoft provides. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
