Microsoft Azure File Storage Reviews

The solution is easy to use and works well.

We've been happy with the monitoring capabilities.

The interface is very good.

The setup is easy.

The pricing could be improved. They need to make the costs more transparent so users know what they will be charged and why ahead of time.

Technical support could be improved.

We've been using the solution for seven years.

Over the past seven years, the solution has been mostly stable. We haven't experienced any stability issues that have been catastrophic. The solution overall has been fine.

We've had contact with technical support in the past. They're mostly okay. The level of service, however, varies. They could work to make it a bit better.

The initial setup is straightforward. We find it easy to implement.

I deployed the solution myself seven years ago. I didn't need the assistance of a reseller or specialist.

The pricing is a little bit hard to determine. I never know how much it's going to cost me in advance, only after the fact.

We use quite a few different products on Azure. For example, we also use Azure Backup and Stack.

A small team at our organization is using the software. We use the solution daily.

I don't really have any advice to give to others. I would just say that it's pretty straightforward and it works well for our team.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's generally okay. It doesn't blow my mind in the sense that it's so unique or revolutionary. It does what it needs to do.

Our primary use case of this solution to migrate several products to the cloud. We use several Microsoft products simultaneously. 

I like the diverse facilities offered by the solution. If a facility tool upgrades, it also upgrades in the cloud. This is very dynamic. Is it very easy to manage and we haven't had any problems with file system limitations or performances. The backup to the firewall has been working well. I like the speed of the program.

So far we haven't had any difficulties with migrations. Sometimes I call support to help me with the migration of the servers. So far it has been all very easy.

We haven't had any issues with the stability of the solution.

We haven't faced any issues in terms of scalability so far.

Microsoft has a good support systems and we have good relationship so far. We have our own team of engineers to help us whenever we have an issue, but whenever we contact Microsoft for support, they are there to give us the help we need.

I have a small contract with Amazon, but I don't use that very often because it doesn't offer that much storage.

The setup was easy and straightforward and the deployment didn't take too long. It is a static plan, so we have to see it first and then we organize. We did have some help from a consultant when we did the deployment. 

Implementations with other products are easy. In the past we had to use a multi-cloud, but we had a preference for one unique tool for each subject that we wanted to manage. So now we are using one cloud only. We had a very new team and we were building everything from scratch.

I will rate this solution an eight out of ten. We haven't been using it very long, but we don't have any complaints. The interface is easy to work on, but sometimes it takes very long to refresh the information. Perhaps that can be improved. It is not a big problem but it would be nice if you could get what you need straight away. So an improvement in the design and speed of things would be great. 

We use the solution for our live cloud servers, such as our application servers. We also use the solution for backups and file security.

My client had zero data loss while using the solution for backups and file security.

It would be good if they added some features that make the solution easier to access for everyone.

I've worked with the solution for the last one or two years.

I rate Microsoft Azure File Storage's stability an eight or nine out of ten.

I rate Microsoft Azure File Storage's scalability an eight or nine out of ten.

The solution is completely supported. They provide solutions to our problems.

Positive

The setup process for the solution is simple.

The solution is suitable for medium and enterprise-sized businesses from a commercial standpoint. I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten because it is reasonably priced.

The solution is very competitive with AWS and Google's cloud solutions. They have common features, but I'm comparing them on a commercial basis.

I rate Microsoft Azure File Storage a nine out of ten.

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. 

Our primary use case for the solution is storing files and calling in our code. Additionally, we use it to push logs from different sources, and whenever we have some transactions or logs related to them, we push them to a storage block and archive it for HR purposes.

All the features are good, and we have four types of storage, including Block Storage.

The way retention policies are applied could be more optimized. Additionally, the pricing should be more competitive with other CHPs, and stability can be improved.

We have been using the solution for five years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 300 to 500 people are utilizing this solution in our organization. We intend to increase the usage of this solution.

We previously used three other solutions.

The initial setup is straightforward and takes approximately twenty minutes. Approximately two technical staff are required for deployment.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but improvements could be made to its stability and the way retention policies are applied could be more optimized.
