|---|---|---|
| Systems Administrator at Xignux SA de CV | 4.5 | We primarily use Microsoft Azure Data Box for application implementations and migrations in enterprise environments. Its valuable features include availability, quick scalability, and automated tasks, efficiently meeting our infrastructure needs and eliminating the necessity for on-site infrastructure. |
| Cloud Solutions Specialist at a consultancy with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I use Microsoft Azure Data Box mainly for transferring over 100TB of on-premise data when bandwidth is limited; it's stable, scalable, and setup is simple, though transport speed and Microsoft support quality could improve. |
| Associate Director at ValueMomentum | 4.0 | I use Microsoft Azure Data Box primarily for integration purposes. While its features are valuable, the per-user license costs are prohibitively expensive for enterprises with more than 1,000 users. I haven't considered other solutions or cloud providers for this use. |
| Technology Manager at AIA | 4.5 | I modernize applications using Microsoft Azure Data Box, improving cloud migration and performance. Microsoft’s support aids in overcoming security challenges, though guidance for transitioning legacy systems is needed. Overall, Azure efficiently handles high traffic and enhances user satisfaction. |
| CCoE at Slk softwares | 4.5 | I've been using Microsoft Azure Data Box for large-scale IoT data transfers, benefiting from its secure, efficient transfer capabilities and ease of use. However, improvements are needed in size and transfer time to better handle extensive data volumes. |

| IT Consultant at a consultancy with 1-10 employees | 4.5 | We use Microsoft Azure Data Box to migrate our on-premise data and legacy applications to the cloud due to its ease of integration with legacy systems. However, support is generic and automation for SMBs could reduce costs and time. |
