Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the scalability due to the blob, which allows us to scale our data effectively."
"Microsoft is quite good when it comes to integration. They have multiple connectors available and different ingestion and integration processes available."
"The response time and quality offered by the support team are good."
"Data Lake Storage provides valuable features such as access keys, container strings, lifecycle management, audit logs, and the soft delete option."
"The solution is worth the money because it allows you to gain insights into your business and implement forecasting solutions to predict future trends."
"Offers high scalability for data storage"
"Azure Data Lake itself doesn't have built-in features for handling data on its own. It's used as a collection of data. Tools you can use with it include Azure Data Factory and Databricks."
"Azure Data Lake Storage offers comprehensive integration with a variety of Azure tools, such as SQL servers and the Azure DevOps platform."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
 

Cons

"When you store your files manually, you can't ensure complete data integrity, which can impact data security."
"Currently, Azure Data Lake Storage has blob, table, and file share, but no vector feature."
"Improvement is needed in the migration process from Lakehouse to Enterprise Data Lake (EDL)."
"Simple migrations from one data lake to another take too much time and could be improved."
"Pricing is always a factor. It could be more affordable."
"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."
"The version was a bit outdated compared to the newer Microsoft Data Fabric offerings."
"One improvement I'd suggest is the out-of-the-box conversion of input data, like spreadsheet or table data, to various formats. We'll be using Parquet, which enables transactional integrity."
"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."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is tricky because it depends on the solution you're building and the type of Data Lake storage you use—hot or cold."
"One of the most affordable products from the vendor"
"It's a pay-as-you-go model. Your charges are based on the amount of data you store."
"I rate the product price as two or three, where one is high, and ten is low. The product's price is really high."
"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."
"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."
"From one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as five."
"It costs just a few dollars per terabyte per month."
"The pricing is very good."
