We performed a comparison between Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Microsoft Azure Object Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product comes with multiple central port installations like gp2 and gp3."
"The most important feature is the volume types in those hundred EDS. For example, if you need a volume with high IOPS, you should choose an io2 or io2 Block Express volume type. The default volume type for EBS is GP3, which is a good balance of performance and price for most workloads."
"The durability and snapshot capabilities are good."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EBS are the ease of mounting any file system and good for block storage. We can use secondary storage for our difficult instances and it performs well."
"The product’s most valuable feature is IOPS."
"The tool has different types of volumes, like SSD and HDD."
"Amazon EBS is a storage system, and the storage is attached to the servers."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its scalability."
"You can peer into different levels of the archive."
"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The most important thing for me is reliability."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is its ease of use."

"The reason is that I believe they only offer the corporate interface we use, and perhaps they should consider creating a historical customer interface. I haven't created a virtual machine; instead, I've established a personal GED. This allows me to provide customers with the necessary role functions, enabling them to download files without incurring excessive costs."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"The setup could be easier."
"The product data encryption feature needs improvement."
"I feel that there are some concerns when it comes to the accessibility area of the product where improvements are required."
"It would be better to analyze and find a way to merge both the file systems of Linux and Windows."
"In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB."
"There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"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."
"We've seen some performance issues with Azure Table storage. It's quite slow. The performance surrounding it should be improved to speed things up a bit."
"The password retrieval process was very difficult."
"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"The stability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage has had a number of failures last week due to the lack of hardware available to support the resources. However, it was only for a short time, approximately two days."
"Technical support should be a little bit faster."
