Comprehensive cloud data management with seamless scalability and robust security features
One valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it provides REST API access to your data, allowing easy data consumption. Additionally, it offers encryption for data at rest and in transit as a standard feature, which enhances security. Another key feature is out-of-box storage management, removing the need for us to manage storage capacity and maintenance. Scalability and data redundancy across zones and regions are also noteworthy.

Useful for businesses to archive their information
I don't use the tool directly. Based on what my team says, from one to ten, if one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the product's initial setup phase as a nine. A technical person took care of the product's installation phase. The solution is deployed on the private and public clouds. The tool is majorly deployed on a private cloud. I use the cloud services from Microsoft Azure. The solution can be deployed in a period of two years. For deployment in the infrastructure, we had five people who are infrastructure specialists. About twenty people needed development, and the team consisted of analysts and specialists. For infrastructure, there were five people as specialists for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Though we use too much of Azure, OCI is the biggest product for our company. Azure is managed by a medium number of people. There are five people to take care of the clouds.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a stable solution and serve our purposes"
"Object Storage's best features are the soft delete option and the retention period."
"The most valuable feature is the cost value, which is very important for long term retention."
"This solution is easy to use, and performance-wise it is better than others."
"It's easy to use."
"The most important thing for me is reliability."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it is on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the API because it is very flexible."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."
"The technical support for the solution was very nice."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would add something like a better lifecycle management system, and for integration purposes, I would add some stuff related to newer concepts like data products and databases. I would like to have a seamless flow between those things."
"Object Storage's integration with other backup software could be improved."
"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"Azure's technical support could be better - they take a long time to respond, and issues get transferred to multiple engineers, so you have to repeat the whole story every time without getting any proper resolution."
"The cost of support is always expensive."
"Technical support should be faster at resolving issues for tickets that we create."
"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."
"The administration of the solution is not as easy as we would like it to be."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of this solution is high compared to others, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The cost is based on the amount of traffic and we paid approximately 18 lakh Rupees ($25,000 USD) last year."
"The licensing cost of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is monthly. We have two types of licenses. One is the EA enterprise license and the other is a CSP license."
"You can download the application from Microsoft free of charge."
"The cost should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"I'm not aware of the licensing cost, as my customer handles it. In Taiwan, it's reasonably priced."
"The tool's licensing costs are annual. It should be made reasonable."
"The pricing for Microsoft Azure Object Storage is high and needs some reduction. It's a seven out of ten, price-wise, because it currently limits your consumption, so the solution should have better pricing."
"We have a yearly subscription for the product."
"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."
"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
