Akram Zabat

Consultant - Architecture Solution at Onepoint

Provides versatile data storage solutions with a simple setup and easy to use

It's similar to S3 for AWS. The ability to store everything inside Blob or Object storage and use it for archiving data is beneficial. For example, you can transform data from relational databases, flatten it, and store it in Object storage to save space within the databases. If I want to save data and do not require legacy access, it's a good solution, for instance, to migrate archives from databases to Object storage. This can also be used for business intelligence purposes. Having a storage solution for data makes it the best place to store it. Azure has its own solution for StatsQ Web Apps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Microsoft Azure Object Storage, they are an open market."

"Technical support is excellent."

"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."

"It has helped with data management."

"The solution integrates well with Microsoft Office 365 and includes important features such as SIEM, storage, SQL, and Cosmos DB."

"AzCopy is probably the best feature. It's a scripting app or a scripting function. Whether it's a Linux batch or a PowerShell script, you can essentially just send a file via a line of code with a specific key."

"The tool's maintenance is not complex."

"Object Storage's best feature is that it's easy to deploy."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pros

"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."

"It's a scalable product."

"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."

"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."

"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."

"The interface is good."

"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."

"The backup is reliable and intuitive."

Cons

"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a pretty expensive solution."

"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."

"The stability could be improved."

"The product is expensive."

"It would be great if Microsoft could provide rule-based auto-scaling."

"Technical support should be faster at resolving issues for tickets that we create."

"The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."

"We would like it if we did not have to use another encryption solution to encrypt the storage."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage cons

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."

"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."

"We cannot use the product with other brands."

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."

"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."

"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."

"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."

More Oracle Database Backup Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing can be improved. There is an yearly licensing cost for the solution. There are some reserve instances that are additional to the licensing cost."

"For the cloud, you get charges every day if you are going to download anything, besides the cost for storage those charges are always there."

"I would rate the pricing a four out of ten because there is a lot of competition out there."

"Pricing is always confusing for all Microsoft products. For this solution, they do provide the estimates, but it is not easy to guess the exact amount that we will be billed."

"Currently, it is a flexible price policy."

"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."

"The solution is not affordable for small businesses."

"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is an expensive solution."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pricing and cost advice

"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."

"The platform is expensive."

"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."

"The platform is expensive."

"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
