Microsoft Azure Object Storage Reviews

We use the product for storage, documentation, and reporting. 

Microsoft Azure Object Storage needs to improve stability and cloud user interface. 

I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten. 

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is scalable, and we have nine users. 

A consultant helped us with the implementation. 

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

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

We use the solution on multiple levels. We deploy at the product level, production, and internal use cases.

The most valuable features of the solution are its performance and stability.

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

I have been using Microsoft Azure Object Storage for five years.

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

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a scalable solution. Around 60 people use the solution extensively in our organization.

The solution provides good technical support.

The solution’s initial setup is a little complex. Around 15 technical staff are required for the solution's deployment and maintenance.

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a stable product with good enough uptime.

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is an expensive solution. We need to pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution. We need to pay extra setup cost in addition to the standard licensing fees.

We use the enterprise version of the solution. I would recommend the solution to people who have a Microsoft ecosystem.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My job title is DevOps Cloud Infra, Cloud Engineer. I am an expert in Microsoft Azure Cloud and telecom. 

Inside the storage account, we use Blob Storage, mostly to store VM data, discs, and logs. We also use FileShare as an additional disc.

The features of Microsoft Azure Object Storage that are most valuable are the ones providing encryption.  Access is more controlled using private endpoints and SaaS token keys. Many access control features exist. 

I also enjoy the size of the Blob Storage, it can store up to three gigs. Another good feature is that we can host 10 static websites.

The solution needs to improve the custom domain integration with static web pages. Even though Blog Storage is providing the static content hosting feature, due to the custom domain availability, the integration is not available. In most cases, we withdraw from that service and use our app service to host our static data feeds.

For future releases, I would like to see the graphical representation of the Blob Storage and the analytics to be in the value review panel so we can go to the cost in subscriptions to get them. We need some graphs with the presentations.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Object Storage for four years.

The solution has been stable for us.

There has been no issue with scalability with this product when accessing or adding users. However, we noticed that when we generated SaaS, it is at the storage account level. This should be specific to containers. However, whenever we change the container name without changing the whole key, it works.

The solution is specific to the application and not personal usage. For most applications, I see between one or two storage accounts. Most people are logging log storage and diagnostic storage. 

During the initial setup of Microsoft Azure Object Storage, we used File Explore, so it was not that difficult. It was via GUI, which was helpful. One challenge was when using the command CLI because it was new to us. Over time, we are ok with CLI too.

We have seen a positive return on our investment in this solution. We just need to make sure we clean up our storage and services which are not used.

Microsoft Azure Object Storage requires a license. We use a pay-as-you-go model and we have an enterprise subscription model as well.

The solution is not expensive, however, when compared to other enterprise, pay-as-you-go products, it is priced higher. 

I would recommend Microsoft Azure Object Storage to anyone considering implementing this solution. The UI is easy to manage. When you go inside Blob, it looks just like your local File Explorer. Also, you can feel confident that encryption is there.

I would rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage an eight out of ten overall.

Our company is a managed service provider and we recommend the solution to customers. 

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

The solution should integrate better with other vendors and products. 

A more comprehensive training option is needed. 

I have been using the solution for one month. 

The solution is pretty stable. 

The solution is very scalable. 

We provide technical support for our customers and raise any escalations directly to Microsoft. 

The initial setup is somewhat complex. I provide the networking or underlay for services and other team members deploy the solution. 

We implement the solution for our customers. 

The solution and AWS are the most stable options in the public cloud domain so I recommend either depending on use case. A cost analysis will determine which option is the best fit. 

Services are more feasible with one cloud provider as opposed to multiple cloud providers at the same time. 

I rate the solution a six out of ten. 

We use this solution to store images and Excel files.

We used to use an on premise file system and the maintenance of on a premise server is difficult. This is why we migrated to Azure storage. Using this solution has reduced our maintenance time and cost. 

The file retention and object retention have been most valuable.

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. If I have an ABC file and if I delete it and I want to recreate the file again with the same name, it is not immediate. There is at a least 30 seconds or one-minute delay.

We have been using this solution for three years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We have specifically configured it for scalability. 

We have reached out for technical support but not directly related to Azure Storage. We had a Logic app and we tried to connect it to Azure Storage. They provided a solution but it was not a limitation of Azure Storage and rather a limitation of the Logic app.

I would rate the support for this solution a nine out of ten. 

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. We had no issues with the deployment because we used GitHub Action, Azure DevOps, terraforms as well as AMS scripts to build and deploy. Deployment did not take more than a minute.

We have used a pricing calculator to find out the general pricing for our clients. 

I would recommend this solution to those who already have an on-premise file system and who want to migrate to a cloud-native solution. This solution offers scalability at a lower cost and additional benefits compared with an on-premise file server.

Azure Object Storage is basically for storing files - if you want to process certain files. It's useful for if you want to keep images or some documents. I use it for that purpose as well.

We like the indexing feature.

The performance has been good. We haven't had any issues. 

The security has been fine.

Everything we need is already pretty much there.

It is very scalable. 

Technical support has been excellent. 

We are not missing any features. 

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

We've been using the solution for a couple of years. 

It's reliable and it performs well. it's stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's scalable. We can increase storage as required. 

Azure Object Storage is mapped with a user. It's mapped to the server for storing files and all. So IOPS storage, probably we can talk 20,000 to 30,000 IOPS.

We monitor the usage based on there being increases.

Technical support is very good and very sound. 

Positive

There's not really an installation. It's a mapping solution. It's on the cloud. 

We have a common cloud team. They do any maintenance. It's a common cloud team who provisions the server, who manages the storage, who assigns the storage to the server. They do everything. We don't have a separate team.

I can't speak to the exact licensing costs. 

As a cloud-based solution, we are always on the latest version. It stays up-to-date.

I'd recommend the product to other users and organizations. 

Overall, I would rate the product ten out of ten. 

It's a platform we're currently adapting for various scenarios like development, deployment, and security needs for new solutions. 

The performance of the solution is good. It’s also good in terms of Information Security (IS) and structured services.

I have been using this solution for the past three years.

The solution is stable. It works fine for us.

We plan to increase the further usage depending on the customer's requirements. 

The operations team handles the support. If they need anything, they deal with it directly, and I haven't heard any complaints.

The initial setup is straightforward. It’s deployed on the cloud.

Our storage capacity is cheap because we have a committed discount. 

I recommend it. However, it depends on the specific use cases and existing environments. For new users, especially, it is a good start. 

However, those with several years of industry experience should thoroughly analyze requirements to determine which suits them better. 

Overall, I rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use the product for all kinds of images and static data. 

The tool's most valuable feature is performance. 

Microsoft Azure Object Storage needs to increase its response time from 25,000 per second to 40,000 or 50,000. 

I have been using the solution for nine years. 

I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten. 

My company has 100 users for Microsoft Azure Object Storage. 

The solution's support is good enough for us. 

Microsoft Azure Object Storage's deployment is straightforward. 

We deployed the solution in-house. 

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is not expensive. 

I rate the product a ten out of ten.
