We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Storage and Microsoft Azure Object Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are Pub/Sub, Data Explorer, BigQuery, and Data Transfer."
"The performance is good."
"I have more than enough personal storage and have had no security issues."
"It is easy to use."
"Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the ease and accessibility of information."
"Google Cloud Storage's most valuable feature is the native algorithms are available. Some of the algorithms are not available for the use cases that we had in Microsoft Azure. We didn't find any native algorithms and that's the reason why we decided to use the machine learning algorithms in GCP."
"AzCopy is probably the best feature. It's a scripting app or a scripting function. Whether it's a Linux batch or a PowerShell script, you can essentially just send a file via a line of code with a specific key."
"We can do data queries easily."
"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is its ease of use."
"It's easy to use."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is flexible and has all the features we need."
"We can easily create a storage layer in any system."
"The key feature for us is the possibility to have a copy of our data and machines outside of our premises just in case of a disaster."
"I'd like the solution to integrate better with other clouds, including the Apple cloud."
"I would prefer more support for alternative operating systems like DSD. The performance could be better because sometimes there are glitches. The price could be better."
"It would be better to assign storage usage to different categories, because storage capacity is cumulative, if your Google album and email are both full, you will be unable to send or receive email."
"The solution should improve its security and accountability."
"What would make Google Cloud Storage better is if it provided more storage."
"Could be improved from a storage perspective and a cost perspective."
"Having more storage space would be an improvement."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Office files. When I open a Google document I would like it to be able to be opened with Microsoft. You can already open Google documents in Microsoft Office."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward. It would be best if you had a little bit of training or an understanding of the concepts. It's important because if you don't do that, then you might end up not following the best practices. Then you will learn it the hard way by making mistakes and then know that you shouldn't have done this or that. It's better to attend workshops and take a hands-on approach."
"I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage needs to increase its response time from 25,000 per second to 40,000 or 50,000."
"The administration of the solution is not as easy as we would like it to be."
"We've seen some performance issues with Azure Table storage. It's quite slow. The performance surrounding it should be improved to speed things up a bit."
"I would like to have out-of-the-box connectors to make integration with other products easier."
"One of the things that are currently important is consistency. To achieve this, another database called Cosmos DB is available. We want to have a similar consistency to the one in Cosmos DB but at a cheaper price."
"I have no complaints about Microsoft Azure Object Storage, but maybe its market size could be more extensive, and its backup speed enhanced."
