Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The response time and quality offered by the support team are good."
"Microsoft is quite good when it comes to integration. They have multiple connectors available and different ingestion and integration processes available."
"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."
"Storage within Azure Data Lake is cheaper, which is one of the reasons we moved to it."
"It's a cloud-based tool within the Microsoft ecosystem, offering many benefits for data handling."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity of configuration and setup."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"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."
"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 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

"It would be beneficial if some AI features were added."
"From an SAP perspective, direct connectivity to SAP systems is an area that could be enhanced."
"The solution needs to improve APIs and make them more accessible."
"Microsoft, in general, needs to simplify its licensing model. That's one of the biggest issues with Microsoft. The licensing model is either quite difficult to understand or is constantly evolving."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The version was a bit outdated compared to the newer Microsoft Data Fabric offerings."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."
"Azure Data Lake Storage should support other formats apart from the Data Lake format, such as the Iceberg format."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"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."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the product price as two or three, where one is high, and ten is low. The product's price is really high."
"It costs just a few dollars per terabyte per month."
"Compared to other options we've explored, I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"From one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as five."
"Pricing is tricky because it depends on the solution you're building and the type of Data Lake storage you use—hot or cold."
"The tool is cheap, depending on the services and requirements you need."
"The pricing is very good."
