Microsoft Azure Block Storage Reviews

We deployed our website on Azure, and Block Storage is for storing large objects. We use Azure Block Storage for embedded videos that any person coming on the website needs to use. 

The most important reason we use Azure Block Storage is the ability to store large files. When we were building the solution, we knew we needed to store images and video files that are 100 MBs or more. The second thing is speed when dealing with such large file sizes. 

It would be nice if the Azure Block Storage could integrate with microservices-based mobile apps, too. 

We started using Azure Block Storage for a project two or three weeks ago.

Block Storage is stable. 

I can't say much about scalability because these are small projects, so it's not like we've utilized Block Storage for a million users. We only have a few hundred users.

The setup process is pretty straightforward.  The documentation from Microsoft is clear enough for anyone to set up a storage account. Two or three people are enough to maintain the solution we've built. It's a stable solution that more or less works on its own.

There should be a discount on Block Storage for people who use it more often. Right now we pay somewhere around maybe 30,000 rupees monthly.

Most of our solutions are built on Azure, so that is our first choice. However, we also considered AWS Storage Services. We thought about using the AWS S3 bucket, but our in-house team mostly has experience on Azure, we stuck with that. I think the Azure documentation is easier to understand than AWS's, so that's the main advantage. The costs are more or less the same.

I rate Azure Block Storage eight out of 10. My biggest concern is the pricing.

I primarily use Block Storage for migration purposes within the broader Azure ecosystem.

The product's most valuable feature is its capability for migrations. It allows for efficient data transfer without significant delays or complications.

The platform's technical support services could be enhanced. They could provide better resolution and improve the response time. 

I've been using Microsoft Azure Block Storage for approximately four years.

The product is stable. I have not encountered any issues, and it consistently performs well. I rate it a nine out of ten for stability.

The product scalability is excellent. It seamlessly supports vertical and horizontal scaling.

The technical support services need improvement in terms of response time. 

The initial setup was straightforward. Deploying takes just a few minutes and does not involve significant challenges.

The product's pricing is reasonable, but premium applications can be costly.

I evaluated other cloud providers like AWS and Google Cloud but chose Microsoft Azure due to its flexibility.

Block Storage is a robust solution for Azure data migration and storage requirements.

I rate it an eight out of ten. 

Use cases for Microsoft Azure Block Storage involve cloud storage for website publishing and customer data sharing. Many customers utilize it for data-sharing purposes. Customers commonly use flash storage to store and access data. Storage is integral to various Software as a Service solutions, where Block Storage is automatically provisioned for premium or standard tiers.

Performance improvement depends on how we utilize the resources. The tool is most valuable for scenarios involving logs and monitoring. For example, logs are generated when using services like Front Door. The tool's most valuable function is providing secure access. Additionally, it connects with websites, allowing users to upload and download data. 

The tool is reliable and works fine. 

Improving the pricing structure would be beneficial. If the pricing could be more flexible and reduced, Microsoft Azure Block Storage would likely see increased usage.

I have been working with the product since 2014. 

I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten. 

I've had a poor experience with Microsoft's technical support. Even without premium support, Microsoft's assistance hasn't been satisfactory. There have been instances where support staff lacked sufficient expertise to address issues. 

The tool's deployment is simple. 

The solution is useful for enterprise customers. I rate it a nine out of ten. 

We use the solution to develop SaaS platforms on Azure. We utilize various Microsoft components like block storage and databases for this purpose.

Microsoft Azure Block Storage should improve its stability. 

The tool is scalable. 

Microsoft Azure Block Storage's support depends on what you pay. If you pay a high price, you can get good support. 

The tool's deployment is easy since it is a Microsoft cloud-based product. 

I did the deployment myself. 

Microsoft Azure Block Storage is expensive. Its licensing costs are monthly. 

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten. 

Our primary use case of the solution is for objects search, objects with information, and documents file search.

The most valuable features of this solution are the ease with which you connect and use it.

The solution can be improved by including quicker hard drive access and larger bandwidth as part of the standard licensing fee.

I have been using the solution for seven years.

The solution is extremely stable.

The solution is easily scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The implementation was completed in-house.

The solution requires an input-output operations fee as well as pay per gigabyte of storage. The solution also offers a quicker hard drive option and a higher bandwidth output for an additional cost.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

We have 23 people in our organization currently using the solution.

We do not require anyone for maintenance or deployment.

I suggest to anyone wanting to use this solution to be careful with the design of the folders because if you add files without folders it can get messy.

We use Microsoft Azure Block Storage to store data.

The solution has introduced cool-tier storage that allows us to store and save data. Since the solution has a hierarchical namespace format, getting data from my database is very fast.

We cannot properly check the daily cost in the Azure portal. I'm going to raise a ticket to the Microsoft team as it is an Azure portal problem.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Block Storage for 1.5 years.

The technical support team assigns engineers too late, and the engineers don't provide a proper solution. They transfer the case to another engineer without providing a proper summary to them. We have to explain the issue and do the basic troubleshooting once again.

Neutral

I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution a 9 out of 10.

We use Microsoft Azure Block Storage to store, upload and download data. We can also use it as a backup.

We use Microsoft Azure Block Storage for storing data.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Block Storage are it stores different types of data traditional data and connectivity through FTP. Additionally, we do not need a high-speed fetching system for operations and filesharing works well for us.
