We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Block 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."We use the solution to develop SaaS platforms on Azure. We utilize various Microsoft components like block storage and databases for this purpose."
"Data is securely stored."
"The data lake is invaluable. We also use Microsoft SQL in terms of structuring the data and getting into a position where it could be useful to support reporting. We Databricks for data science. We incorporated Databricks with that as well."
"This is a very robust and flexible solution."
"It can scale."
"The stability seems to be very reliable."
"The solution is easy to purchase and is a Microsoft product, making procurement straightforward."
"Azure Block Storage has very good integration with the Microsoft suite, which helps a lot when creating a digital workspace."
"You can peer into different levels of the archive."
"The features of Microsoft Azure Object Storage that are most valuable are the ones providing encryption. Access is more controlled using private endpoints and SaaS token keys. Many access control features exist."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is an easy-to-use and stable solution."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"We can easily create a storage layer in any system."
"Versioning is a valuable feature."
"The best thing is it's on the cloud. It's easily accessible to everyone through a mobile device, tablet, or laptop. Secondly, it's secure. Like any URL shared will not work after a few hours. Only the person concerned who has that URL can use it within a few hours to download the document. After that, it expires. Thirdly, we all keep an archive. For example, if there are old documents, they are still stored over there. Another nice Azure feature is that they have the regional set up for that storage, and there's no downtime, and I'm grateful for that. We don't have to worry, because it's secure. If something goes down, they have other copies of it on a separate server, and it's accessible."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is flexible and has all the features we need."
"The folder search capabilities are not really up to par."
"The performance could be improved, but all the services in the cloud are improved every week."
"The performance of Microsoft Azure Block Storage needs improvement because it's laggy. Microsoft Azure Block Storage also has a lot of limitations on file sizes. The rendering and loading times also need improvement."
"One of the biggest challenges on Azure infrastructure is that sometimes we don't get what we want. Either we have to wait for it or contact support because something is not working for us... It's the system availability that is the difficult point."
"We need to do versioning each and every time, that is, check-in and check-out. If a person forgets to do that, then there could be an issue in the replacement of that particular object in the storage. It will be great if it can be automatically managed."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Microsoft Azure Block Storage could improve the SFTP. The SFTP can be used for exchanging data between two parties and it works but Microsoft is new to this market and they could be a lot better in this area with its features."
"There are capacity limitations that could be expanded."
"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."
"Technical support should be a little bit faster."
"The solution can be quite slow."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a pretty expensive solution."
"Its user interface could be better."
"The tool should be a little bit cheaper."
"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"Technical support should be faster at resolving issues for tickets that we create."
