Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is worth the money because it allows you to gain insights into your business and implement forecasting solutions to predict future trends."
"The tool's best feature is that it can store different types of data - structured, unstructured, and semi-structured—in one lake. We can use the required data for analytics and dashboard design."
"The hierarchical structure allows us to create multiple hierarchies inside, such as storage containers, directories, and subdirectories."
"I'd rate the solution nine out of ten."
"Azure Data Lake Storage is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The tool is very safe to use. It is impossible to hack the product."
"I would recommend Azure Data Lake Storage because it is straightforward to set up and versatile for various projects, especially AI solutions requiring document storage."
"The tool's most valuable feature is security access policies."
"We have snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe."
"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous peer environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
 

Cons

"Version control would be a great improvement."
"Azure Data Lake Storage should support other formats apart from the Data Lake format, such as the Iceberg format."
"From an SAP perspective, direct connectivity to SAP systems is an area that could be enhanced."
"Improvement is needed in the migration process from Lakehouse to Enterprise Data Lake (EDL)."
"The documentation could be more user-friendly with better tutorials."
"I suggest enhancing the connectors for improvement. Some software, like HubSpot and Xero, has connectors, but they're limited to a few fields. That's why we use REST API calls instead. It would be better if the connectors could retrieve all data."
"If tools like Azure Data Lake Storage are enabled within the tool named Azure Storage Explorer, then it would be of tremendous help, but it can be really tricky."
"Pricing is always a factor. It could be more affordable."
"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It costs just a few dollars per terabyte per month."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It's a pay-as-you-go model. Your charges are based on the amount of data you store."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go. Regarding pricing, there's always competition between Azure Data Lake Storage and AWS. They're quite similar, but to attract more customers, Azure Data Lake Storage could consider adjusting its pricing to be more competitive with AWS. This might make Azure Data Lake Storage a more appealing option for users."
"The tool is cheap, depending on the services and requirements you need."
"From one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as five."
"One of the most affordable products from the vendor"
"I rate the product price as two or three, where one is high, and ten is low. The product's price is really high."
"The pricing is very good."
