Helps to authenticate and save data, and has high availability
Pros and Cons
  • "The availability is good, meaning downtime or network issues rarely occur. The system also offers flexibility, allowing for increases in data volume, IOPS, and other capabilities without requiring downtime, which is a strong point. Based on the money spent, we can get performance improvements and high availability."
  • "Azure NetApp Files is expensive."

What is our primary use case?

We use the tool for authentication across all customers and save data. It also helps us to monitor servers. 

What is most valuable?

The availability is good, meaning downtime or network issues rarely occur. The system also offers flexibility, allowing for increases in data volume, IOPS, and other capabilities without requiring downtime, which is a strong point. Based on the money spent, we can get performance improvements and high availability. 

What needs improvement?

Azure NetApp Files is expensive. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for eight years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Azure NetApp Files' stability an eight out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool is scalable. They offer three different sizes for backup purposes, and if a disk is available, you can retrieve data from it immediately.

How are customer service and support?

I have only experienced the best performance from Azure NetApp Files and have never faced any performance issues with the product. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before choosing Azure NetApp Files, I used a different setup to mount a single disk and share it across multiple servers. This approach often led to connectivity issues and network glitches, especially when there were problems with the network switches.

How was the initial setup?

Azure NetApp Files' deployment is easy. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. Customers want high availability without interruptions. If you're looking for a reliable service where your environment stays stable and accessible at all times, I'd recommend going with Azure NetApp Files. From my experience of several migrations, I've found it to be a dependable solution that ensures continuous availability without interruptions.

User-friendly and helps aggregate all information into one particular environment
Pros and Cons
  • "Azure Data Lake Storage is a user-friendly and easy-to-learn solution."
  • "Some terminology is not easy to understand when using some interfaces."

What is our primary use case?

We use the tool to aggregate all our information into one particular environment. We have separate environments, but we aggregate the important pieces into one environment so they can be used for reporting and analytics.

What is most valuable?

Azure Data Lake Storage is a user-friendly and easy-to-learn solution.

What needs improvement?

The solution's instructions could be improved. Some terminology is not easy to understand when using some interfaces. Microsoft must provide more examples because everybody uses the tool differently.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Azure Data Lake Storage for 5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Around 300 users use the solution in our organization, including developers and people who use the data through report interfaces.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for scalability.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution through an in-house team. Certain features are turned on to deploy the tool. You go in there and set up what you need, like the database or data factory. Once they turn it on and give you permission, you go in there and set it up yourself.

What was our ROI?

The tool is worth the money because I've worked in other environments, and this one seems to be the most flexible and easy to use.

What other advice do I have?

I use Azure Data Lake Storage version 2. We integrate the solution with other internal and external sources through REST and SQL. We have external sites that we integrate or pull the information into. We can see all the data in one place and report off of it.

The tool can be expanded at a moment's notice. Once I'm done, I can lower the threshold back down. The solution's flexibility allows me to increase my CPU or database size at a moment's notice.

Overall, I rate the solution 10 out of 10.
