Microsoft Azure Object Storage Reviews

Our company is a managed service provider and we recommend the solution to customers. 

The solution integrates well with Microsoft Office 365 and includes important features such as SIEM, storage, SQL, and Cosmos DB. 

The solution should integrate better with other vendors and products. 

A more comprehensive training option is needed. 

I have been using the solution for one month. 

The solution is pretty stable. 

The solution is very scalable. 

We provide technical support for our customers and raise any escalations directly to Microsoft. 

The initial setup is somewhat complex. I provide the networking or underlay for services and other team members deploy the solution. 

We implement the solution for our customers. 

The solution and AWS are the most stable options in the public cloud domain so I recommend either depending on use case. A cost analysis will determine which option is the best fit. 

Services are more feasible with one cloud provider as opposed to multiple cloud providers at the same time. 

I rate the solution a six out of ten. 

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is used for storing pictures and sound from many projects I am involved in.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is its ease of use.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Object Storage for approximately six months.

Microsoft Azure Object Storage has had a number of failures last week due to the lack of hardware available to support the resources. However, it was only for a short time, approximately two days.

The scalability of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is alright for what we use it for.

We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution in my organization. We have plans to increase the usage.

The support from Microsoft Azure Object Storage is good. When I asked for help they responded in a timely manner.

The initial installation of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is easy.

My company uses most of the solutions from Microsoft. They received a discount because of the volume of solutions purchased. The policy of the company forced me to use Microsoft Azure Object Storage. I did not have a choice to use other solutions from other vendors, such as Google or Amazon Web Service.

I rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage an eight out of ten.

The solution is being used for daily purposes. 

Improvements should be made as per customer requirements.

It is a scalable solution. 

Technical support is excellent.

The initial setup is complex.

The pricing is competitive.

Overall I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

I use the solution in my company for business applications and to move content.

I can't speak about the specific features I like about the product, but I know that it was used for our company's processes. The most valuable features of the solution are related to its ease of use and performance.

The stability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.

I have been Microsoft Azure Object Storage for 7 years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Scalability-wise, my company didn't face any issues. I rate the solution's scalability out of seven out of ten.

It is not a tool used by users since it is for the system. The front-end system uses the storage.

The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.

For the product's deployment phase, my company used CI/CD pipelines and the DevOps process, but the storage can be accessed through laptops and Azure Storage Explorer, which was a great feature.

The product was deployed with the help of our company's in-house team.

The product works on a real-time and optimized basis. The scalability offered by the product is one of its benefits. You don't have to wait for your company's infrastructure team to increase the storage, as it can grow on its own.

The tool has a pay-per-use pricing model. You need to pay for what you are consuming. It is not a complex model. It is not an expensive product. There is no need to pay extra money for the licensing costs since the price is based on the storage you consume.

The tool is useful for our company's client engagement and for the automation of their business applications.

The product's security measures are good. I rate the tool's security measures an eight out of ten.

Speaking about the integration capabilities of the product, I can say that my company serves as a system integrator of the tool for our clients.

The product integrates with our customers' existing ecosystems.

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a straightforward product that is available with good documentation and is useful for a good number of use cases. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.

I rate the tool a seven or eight out of ten.

We are accessing remote accounting software by using this cloud. We are also using it for cloud backup and disaster recovery. 

It is easy to use, and we use it for backup and remote desktop access. It is working fine.

They could improve AI and ML-based modules. They should add more modules based on artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Pricing is a little bit tricky with Microsoft Azure. They do provide the estimates, but it is not easy to guess the exact amount that we will be billed after a month or two because it is based on usage. This is a little confusing.

We have been using this solution for about six months.

It is not that good. Technical support of companies like Microsoft or Google is not that easy to get. There are many rules to get support from Microsoft.

The initial setup is straightforward. It requires a little bit of technical expertise. Not everyone can configure Azure. You will need some amount of technical skills or help from a Microsoft Expert. We have been using Microsoft products for many years, and that's why it is easier for us to implement. It may be a little bit tricky if you are not using the Microsoft environment.

We deployed it in ten days because we have to install our own software and do a few other things. Otherwise, it should take only one or two days. 

We are integrators.

Pricing is always confusing for all Microsoft products. For this solution, they do provide the estimates, but it is not easy to guess the exact amount that we will be billed.

I would advise others to go through the documentation first, and if required, they should get help from Microsoft Certified partners. If they are dealers, they should go for Microsoft Azure certification. It is very helpful in technical installation and deployment.

I would rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage a seven out of ten.

Our architects are using it, mostly. We primarily use the solution for Docker containers that we host our Jira and Confluence on. We use the solution for storage, including File, Table, and Block. We have about 20 terabytes of storage. We also do some reporting.

The metadata that the solution provides is quite valuable for us. If we need to analyze the latest data from a particular department or particular user, we can simply query through the metadata we store in Azure Object Storage and simply fetch those records which are maybe one day or one month old. this metadata storage is really handy for us.

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.

Moving data from cold storage to the hot storage, or, to put it another way, moving data back and forth between regular storage and archival storage is difficult. There's no easy way to do it. In the past, we've been required to download the data and then upload it to cold storage. It's an annoying process. If the solution could fix this it would be much better.

I believe I have been using the solution for four years.

The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with it.

We have people who use the solution on a daily basis in our organization. There are about 50 or more users.

It's quite easy to scale the solution as needed.

Technical support has been good. Whenever we've raised requests they've been dealt with promptly. We're satisfied with the level of support given to us.

We didn't previously use another solution before implementing Object Storage. Previously we had everything in-house. Now everything is on the public cloud.

The initial setup for the solution is straightforward. It's simple, in fact. It's not complex at all. Deployment is fast and easy too. It only takes about 20 minutes.

In our company, the maintenance of the solution is outsourced. We have a team of four outside the organization that handles it for us. They're like a support team and handle everything 24/7.

The implementation was handled completely in-house. We have Azure certified architects in my organization and we simply raise the request for the types of storage we want, what sort of machine we want and I handle the approvals.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are currently using.

In terms of if other organizations should use the solution, I'd say that the question is, do they understand what they prefer. They need to understand the data they want to store and if they will need regular access to it. If they need the data to be easily accessible daily, they need to go for a Hot Tier. If they feel like they would be better off archiving, they need to look for a Cold Tier. The difference between the two is huge.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We can store and load data into Snowflake using the product. We can easily create a storage layer in any system. We can store and backup data at any point before transformation.

The product's cost needs improvement during the POC stage. Additionally, its user interface could be better compared to AWS and GCP.

It is a stable product. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten.

We are running AWS and GCP as well.

I rate the initial setup process a seven out of ten. You need to understand many things by referring to the documentation before implementing it.

I rate Azure Blob storage's pricing a seven out of ten. Additional costs depend on the data and complexity of the project.

I rate Azure Blob storage an eight out of ten.

I recommend it to others as it is a leading cloud provider. I advise the customers to consider the cost. If you find it expensive, you can go for GCP and AWS.

I use Object Storage as an object storage backup.

Object Storage has given us total peace of mind.

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

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

I've been using Object Storage for three years.

Object Storage is stable.

Object Storage is scalable.

Unless you subscribe to the paid services, Microsoft's technical support is average.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward and took a couple of hours.

We used an in-house team.

Object Storage is cost-effective, and our license fees are about $200 per month.

I would rate Object Storage nine out of ten.
