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.

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."

"We can easily create a storage layer in any system."

"Microsoft Azure Object Storage offers hassle-free usage. It is easy to configure."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's price since it is not expensive."

"One valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it provides REST API access to your data, allowing easy data consumption."

"The most valuable feature is the API because it is very flexible."

"Technical support has been excellent."

"The best thing is it's on the cloud. It's easily accessible to everyone through a mobile device, tablet, or laptop. Secondly, it's secure. Like any URL shared will not work after a few hours. Only the person concerned who has that URL can use it within a few hours to download the document. After that, it expires. Thirdly, we all keep an archive. For example, if there are old documents, they are still stored over there. Another nice Azure feature is that they have the regional set up for that storage, and there's no downtime, and I'm grateful for that. We don't have to worry, because it's secure. If something goes down, they have other copies of it on a separate server, and it's accessible."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pros

"The backup is reliable and intuitive."

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

"The interface is good."

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

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

"It's a scalable product."

"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."

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

Cons

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

"Our current Azure setup faces challenges with API connectivity, particularly due to misconfigurations related to changes in Azure Graph."

"I would like to have out-of-the-box connectors to make integration with other products easier."

"The pricing of the solution can be improved."

"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 improve AI and ML-based modules. They should add more modules based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Pricing is a little bit tricky with Microsoft Azure. They do provide the estimates, but it is not easy to guess the exact amount that we will be billed after a month or two because it is based on usage. This is a little confusing."

"Since the solution is messy and heavy, it needs to be faster in terms of speed and latency."

"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

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

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

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

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

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

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."

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

"We cannot use the product with other brands."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not aware of the licensing cost, as my customer handles it. In Taiwan, it's reasonably priced."

"Object Storage is cost-effective, and our license fees are about $200 per month."

"Encryption feature is an add-on."

"Object Storage is competitively priced."

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

"The pricing is competitive."

"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."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pricing and cost advice

"The platform is expensive."

"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 only problem with Oracle is its pricing."

"The platform is expensive."

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

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