Microsoft Azure Object Storage Reviews

I use Microsoft Azure Object Storage for backups. Specifically, we use it for longterm backup retention.

The most important thing for me is reliability.

The support is very good.

I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive.

The stability of this solution depends on the company that the client is working with. They have to be reputable and meet the appropriate standards for compliance.

This solution is very easy to scale. All of the object storage solutions have the same features.

We are in regular contact with technical support and I find them to be good.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward and it probably takes a couple of days to deploy.

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

There are other vendors for object storage on the market that are comparable in features, but the price of the competitors is cheaper. The main difference between vendors is the costs in terms of both storage and traffic.

I am satisfied with the features that Azure Object Storage has.

In general, this is a product that I recommend but at the end of the day, the suitability depends on the use case and the requirements. If it is something that meets their needs then it will be very beneficial.

As we have worked with this product, we have not come across any problems that could not be resolved. That said, there is always room for improvement.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We provide consultancy and we manage the service for our clients with different company sizes. We use this solution to keep backups of their data and for what we call cold storage. 

There are some cases where we use it for general-purpose files.

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

We can keep the backups for a longer duration.

It's a simple solution.

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

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

It's quite stable.

This solution is easy to scale.

In most cases, it is used quite extensively.

We have contacted technical support a few times, and we have not had any issues, they always provided us with support.

Previously quite a few years back, there were several solutions available. We used a few solutions on a trial basis only, but they were slow.

The initial setup was easy and straightforward, not at all complex.

It took us about a week to deploy. There were four people involved to help with the deployment, one architect and three engineers.

For maintenance, most of it is automated, you only two or three to monitor and support it.

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.

We did not evaluate other options, we went with Microsoft straight away.

It's not just the storage that is being affected, they have to know if they want to move the data back, and the data is vast and large, those costs will have to be taken care of also. That is something that you will have to be aware and cautious of.

I would recommend this solution.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

I use this tool to develop Blob storage and deploy it on Azure. We are working in the educational domain and this solution is used in campus management.

The most valuable features are the development and redundancy.

This solution is easy to use, and performance-wise it is better than others.

Object re-use should be improved in order to get better performance and reduce the cost.

We have experienced performance issues on the website.

The interface on the homepage can be improved.

When we are uploading items into storage, we only get information from a high level. This makes it difficult to find and delete specific files.

I have been using this solution for about two years.

In terms of stability, I have not found any issues.

There are no issues with scalability. We have approximately 400,000 users who are students, as well as others.

We were in touch with technical support to address slowdowns that were occurring on the website.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I deployed this solution.

The cost is based on the amount of traffic and we paid approximately 18 lakh Rupees ($25,000 USD) last year.

I recommend using this tool as it is useful and very easy to implement. Any develop can help to reduce their costs.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Object Storage's best features are the soft delete option and the retention period.

I've been using Object Storage for a year.

Object Storage is stable.

Object Storage is scalable.

Azure's technical support could be better - they take a long time to respond, and issues get transferred to multiple engineers, so you have to repeat the whole story every time without getting any proper resolution.

Neutral

The initial setup was simple.

Object Storage is competitively priced.

Object Storage is easy to use, very portable, and easy to integrate. I would rate it as nine out of ten.
