We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Block Storage and Wasabi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to deploy, easy to scale up, and pay-as-you-go."
"The solution has introduced cool-tier storage that allows us to store and save data."
"Its integration is very easy."
"The price is decent. I rate Azure Block Storage eight out of 10 for affordability."
"I like the product’s versioning and file share features. The file share feature is most useful when we are connecting on-premises services. Azure file share helps to migrate small data amounts from on-premises to the cloud."
"Microsoft Azure Block Storage is an easy-to-use tool as it has a lot of APIs and libraries, making it a very easy product to get started with for a user."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ease with which you connect and use it."
"In terms of latency, bandwidth, and productivity, Azure Block Storage is better than other solutions."
"Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution."
"Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it. I'll monitor it every once in a while just to make sure that it's working correctly."
"We can store our videos on hot storage, allowing immediate access to them."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"The solution could use a couple of security features."
"We need to do versioning each and every time, that is, check-in and check-out. If a person forgets to do that, then there could be an issue in the replacement of that particular object in the storage. It will be great if it can be automatically managed."
"The performance could be improved, but all the services in the cloud are improved every week."
"Improving the pricing structure would be beneficial."
"I want to see my region added to the data center. I'm in Africa, and if a data center is specifically added under Central Africa, that will reduce data latency when accessing data."
"The solution's downside is related to its documentation, which I believe can be difficult to navigate because it is hidden between or within other pages of the product's manual."
"One thing that needs improvement is authentication. They need to improve the integrated Azure Active Directory for the enterprise level. For single sign-on, we can try any authentication or portal for Block Azure Function AKS. For example, if you're an administrator or user contributor, you will generate a token, then your internal middleware connects to any Azure Cloud service. You need to generate different credentials for each service. We cannot use the same token."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is more complex than Google Drive, but it is still not too difficult."
"The solution must allow the extension of the retention period."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent."
"Setting up users on the appliance should be improved."
"I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve."
"The scalability could improve."
"The solution’s user reporting could be improved."
