Good SLAs and better suited for large files like videos and anything in the multi-gigabyte range

Support's not great, but Microsoft products are much more industrial strength and enterprise ready than any other services out there. That's why we use them and learn how to use them, even when they change things without much advanced notice. We proactively educate ourselves on how to use it once it's changed. I don't pay for premium support. But at a basic level, Microsoft products can be pretty aggravating to work with. I prefer not to rate it. I don't think a number would accurately describe the experience. We still use it, and it's still valuable. But the experience with Microsoft products, from storage to Teams and everything else, can be quite aggravating.

An easy-to-use consolidation solution that can be used to manage backups of SAP workloads

Once the solution is in place, there's not a lot of maintenance required. We definitely have a maintenance contract with Oracle, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would recommend Oracle Database Backup Service to users using Oracle databases. We work with the solution as a systems integrator. Overall, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service an eight out of ten.

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"

"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 most valuable feature is the cost value, which is very important for long term retention."

"The index search and block storage are valuable features."

"The solution offers good documentation."

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

"I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks."

"It's easy to use."

"It's a scalable product."

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

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."

"The backup is reliable and intuitive."

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

"The interface is good."

Cons

"I think if the tool puts features that only exist in the easy copying area through Azure Storage Explorer, so introducing such features in Microsoft Azure Object Storage can make it more user-friendly."

"They could provide multiple tools to provide you with cost calculations, giving you a better picture or providing better details of the cost calculations over the years."

"One of the things that are currently important is consistency. To achieve this, another database called Cosmos DB is available. We want to have a similar consistency to the one in Cosmos DB but at a cheaper price."

"A more comprehensive training option is needed."

"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 tool doesn't offer Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft AI."

"The solution can be quite slow."

"We're still testing the solution. It's too early to make any suggestions as to what may be missing."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage cons

"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

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

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."

"We cannot use the product with other brands."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing costs are annual. It should be made reasonable."

"Encryption feature is an add-on."

"It has a pay-as-you-go model. So, you are only paying for what you store. It's an attractive model. You don't pay for a set; you pay for what you actually use."

"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."

"The cost of this solution is high compared to others, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is an expensive solution."

"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 pricing is competitive."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."
