We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Azure Object Storage for us is its simplicity and reliability as a storage solution.""The metadata that the solution provides is quite valuable for us. If we need to analyze the latest data from a particular department or particular user, we can simply query through the metadata we store in Azure Object Storage and simply fetch those records which are maybe one day or one month old. this metadata storage is really handy for us.""The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it is on the cloud.""The reason is that I believe they only offer the corporate interface we use, and perhaps they should consider creating a historical customer interface. I haven't created a virtual machine; instead, I've established a personal GED. This allows me to provide customers with the necessary role functions, enabling them to download files without incurring excessive costs.""The product has good accessibility.""We have had a good experience with customer service and support.""The index search and block storage are valuable features."

"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use.""The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security.""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."

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.""I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive.""Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a pretty expensive solution.""The solution's stability should be improved.""Uploading files from the UI has presented some issues. When editing work and once you delete a file, it takes some time to recreate the same file.""The initial setup is not easy to understand.""The stability could be improved.""We're still testing the solution. It's too early to make any suggestions as to what may be missing."

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security.""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."
