It depends on the tool when it's outside of the Microsoft portfolio as to whether it integrates; it really depends on what you're doing with the other tool. The cost is something that everyone is cost-sensitive about. There was a curious feature that I was interested in; I think it was something in preview, a blob scanning ability, the ability to have a hardware-level querying of the data there. I don't think it worked with Parquet data; I think it mainly worked with plain text data. That's something that I would want to have added, is the ability to scan and query data with Parquet, because currently, that's what you have to use Databricks to do. They make it easy to set up, and their licensing for Azure Data Lake Storage is just pay-as-you-go, so you can get into it quite easily. The devil's in the details, because the cost as you use it can be difficult to forecast because it really depends upon all the other services and how heavily it's being used. There are other features that can catch you, such as a storage security scanner that automatically scans your storage for malware. Compliance departments and IT departments love that type of feature, so people will blanket enable that, but then that racks up tons of bills because it's reading massive files constantly that should be excluded from that type of scan because it's not a type of file capable of having malware; it's the backend database. There are some gotchas with the pricing; you have to be careful. There's not really a way to throttle it either. The premium tier, which they recommend for analytics, can't be switched off once enabled. Similarly, if you start on standard tier, you can never upgrade it; you have to delete it and make a new one. These limitations are quite annoying.
