- "We use the solution for integration purposes."
- "It is a good fit with ease of integration there."
- "It provides secure transfer of large amounts of data."
Microsoft Azure Data Box has issues with network backup performance, integration challenges with non-Microsoft platforms, single node limitations, and inefficient data transfer times. It requires physical transportation for cloud uploads, lacks guidance for migrating from old technologies, and has limited storage. Users find the support generic and costly for large enterprises. Integrating AI and reducing time and storage constraints are also areas needing attention.
- "On an enterprise level, a per-user license for more than 1,000 users is very costly."
- "The solution is straightforward with simple application migration, but plug-and-play AI is not involved simultaneously."
- "Deployment can be a major challenge. It's important to understand the organization's policies, the data store where the data will be going, the necessary permissions, and the specific type of Data Box being used. We also need to consider the encryption keys that need to be utilized."
