Pmurki@Micron.Com Praveen - PeerSpot reviewer
Setup takes minimal efforts and good product to keep files for our ETL process
We use it for ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes. We get files from different tools related to our micro-processing, copy them into Azure File Storage, and then consume them for parsing and loading It's good overall. We just use Azure File Storage as a way to keep files for our ETL process.…
Ozgur-Ekinci - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is affordable and can be easily deployed, but the scalability must be improved
We just need to create an account in Wasabi. Wasabi gives us an access link, username, and password. We provide this information to Veeam so that Veeam is able to reach Wasabi resources. Then, we can copy our backup data to Wasabi. It's very straightforward, and it's very easy. The deployment can be done within an hour. The user creation and Wasabi account login creation take about an hour. The final process takes about five minutes.

What needs improvement with Wasabi?
It's an opportunity to have a data center in Brazil because, nowadays, all data centers are outside Brazil. So, if you can have a data center inside the field to work, it's an excellent opportunity.
