Azure Data Lake Storage Reviews

It is typically used in my data analytics workflows. I use it as a data lake. 

The hierarchical namespace is okay. It's not the kind of product I would have any issue with.

RLS (Row-Level Security) and these kinds of things have been effective for protecting data. 

Microsoft is quite good when it comes to integration. They have multiple connectors available and different ingestion and integration processes available.

There is room for improvement in Microsoft support. I didn't have a good experience with it. 

Microsoft, in general, needs to simplify its licensing model. That's one of the biggest issues with Microsoft. The licensing model is either quite difficult to understand or is constantly evolving.

I like the move from Data Lake to Lakehouse. I think it's more up to Microsoft, regarding the trends of the market and what organizations need.

I use it, but it's integrated into Microsoft Fabric. 

I don't have any performance issues. It's a reliable kind of product.

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. 

Technical support is not something I'm using a lot because I had a poor experience with it in the past, but not on these products, technically. I'm not using a lot of Microsoft support currently.

So, I don't really need it anymore because I've benefited from colleagues and the community to help, and it helps a lot.

I work with Microsoft products in general, but mostly Fabric. There is also Data Factory, Databricks, and Synapse. My company is a Microsoft partner only.

Microsoft, in general, needs to simplify its licensing model. That's one of the biggest issues with Microsoft. The licensing model is either quite difficult to understand or is constantly evolving. I think there's a will to simplify it because one of the biggest client complaints is that the licensing model is always messy and evolving. It's quite difficult to understand.

However, I'm quite satisfied with the pricing. It's quite good.

I would recommend it to other users. I would not recommend it to the smallest companies because you have an entry ticket while using this kind of tool. It's based on usage, but it's mostly beneficial for companies that have big architecture to build, that are looking for a big, complex architecture. It's quite relevant for that. 

If you, as a small company, would like to simplify and rationalize, you may have some packaged products that would not only provide storage or transformation, but a different kind of end-to-end experience that would be better.

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