Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a cloud-based tool within the Microsoft ecosystem, offering many benefits for data handling.""Azure Data Lake Storage is a user-friendly and easy-to-learn solution.""I also like its speed. It's basically built on Azure Blob Storage, which was already fast. But Azure Data Lake Storage adds the hierarchical structure for even better performance.""The response time and quality offered by the support team are good.""The tool's most valuable feature is security access policies."

"The main thing in Panzura is that there are three key components: PanFS, NAS, and collaboration. These are strong features, and a big benefit is that you can access everything from anywhere.""Its most valuable features are the collaboration, the file snapshots, and the data protection the solution provides."

Cons
"Pricing is always a factor. It could be more affordable.""The solution needs to improve APIs and make them more accessible.""The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""From an SAP perspective, direct connectivity to SAP systems is an area that could be enhanced.""Some terminology is not easy to understand when using some interfaces."

"It should be easy for people not on the network to connect and access their files.""Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions."
