Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward.""The solution is stable.""The tool is pretty easy to use.""The ease of setup is the primary reason we use Azure Block Storage. The setup takes one or two days, and we had help from Microsoft. We had five people on our team.""The solution has introduced cool-tier storage that allows us to store and save data.""It has easy versioning. The versioning is amenable to any changes. It also has great security. It can only be accessed through an API, and only the requested users can access it. It is optimized for data lakes and comprehensive data management.""We use this solution for backup storage on our on-premise backup.""The most helpful features of Microsoft Azure Block Storage are the many use cases. Additionally, it can be locked down well and has two-factor authentication."

More Microsoft Azure Block Storage Pros →

"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features.""The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security.""The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."

Cons
"The stability of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is good but could improve.""The solution needs a direct connection to visualization.""It is also costly and not cheap compared to Internet-based networks.""Microsoft Azure Block Storage can improve the configuration to be more user-friendly.""There are capacity limitations that could be expanded.""I would like for the next release to replace the CDN being used for content delivery, there is currently a rather long delay.""The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is more complex than Google Drive, but it is still not too difficult.""One thing that needs improvement is authentication. They need to improve the integrated Azure Active Directory for the enterprise level. For single sign-on, we can try any authentication or portal for Block Azure Function AKS. For example, if you're an administrator or user contributor, you will generate a token, then your internal middleware connects to any Azure Cloud service. You need to generate different credentials for each service. We cannot use the same token."

"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security.""The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is affordable, and we only pay for what we use."
  • "For the first 50DB, they cost around $50. It's an open solution for everybody. Anybody can go to the Microsoft website and they can get the pricing for it. But the first 50GB of data is a default rate and then it increases for the next 500GB or something like that. It is a pay as you go solution. The more you use, the more you pay. That's normally how you pay for any cloud solutions."
  • "In terms of pricing, Azure is quite cheaper than AWS. However, I have recently read that Oracle Cloud Generation 2 storage is quite cheaper than Azure. I haven't used it yet. We need to look at a customer's requirements, and, based on that, we can suggest the storage. You can save at least 20% with Azure as compared to AWS, which is quite costly."
  • "Azure Block Storage is higher priced than its competitors."
  • "We pay around $300 to $400 a month for some scenarios where consumption is limited. However, going forward, we're seeing the likelihood of the cost coming to around $2,000 as consumption rises."
  • "The price of Microsoft Azure Block Storage could be less expensive."
  • "The cost is very low. The cost is something like $0.01 to $0.50 per gig. It's pay per use. We have a yearly license."
  • "The price of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is less expensive than other solutions on the market, such as Cloud Storage from GCP."

  • "We have a yearly subscription for the product."
  • "Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
  • "Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
