The tool can be used by small and large companies. It's not restricted by price, so it's not just for high-end companies. Especially with cloud options available now, any company can potentially use it. For competitors, from a cloud-based provider perspective, you have Amazon, Google, and other cloud providers. If you are building your custom solution, you can use traditional SAN drives on-premise for data lake storage, which becomes expensive. I'd say the main competitors of the cloud options are Microsoft, AWS, and Google. There are potentially other providers like Alibaba, but I haven't used them, so I can't provide more information about them. I have experience integrating AI solutions with Azure Data Lake Storage and helped design some of them. AI solutions access data similarly to downstream systems like ETL tools. For cloud providers, the connections to AI tools are typically built into their products. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. I definitely recommend Azure Data Lake Storage. I have recommended it for all the solutions I've designed and built for my clients. I would recommend it to anybody considering entering the data space or looking at building warehouses, AI solutions, etc.
I use Azure Data Lake Storage in a cloud-only setup, not on-premises. We receive API calls and store the responses in the product. Then, we process these files using the tool. For first-time users, I recommend learning from Microsoft materials or YouTube videos before using the tool. It is better to gain some knowledge before using it. It's easy for beginners to learn and use, especially compared to AWS and other services. I'd rate Azure Data Lake Storage eight out of ten. I find it user-friendly as a fresher with about two point eight years in my tech career. I started my career with this tool, gained much knowledge, and now I can lead a team.

I would recommend it to other users. I would not recommend it to the smallest companies because you have an entry ticket while using this kind of tool. It's based on usage, but it's mostly beneficial for companies that have big architecture to build, that are looking for a big, complex architecture. It's quite relevant for that. If you, as a small company, would like to simplify and rationalize, you may have some packaged products that would not only provide storage or transformation, but a different kind of end-to-end experience that would be better. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
