Empowers secure data management with affordable tools and minimal hassle
The most valuable feature is that it's very affordable in comparison to competitors. The absolute best feature is the Azure Storage Explorer tool. The tool allows me to download to my device, control access, and manage data with ease. Additionally, the joint use of Azure portal further facilitates management depending on my location.

Cons

"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 support response time could be quicker."
"Azure Block Storage could use more capacity."
"Some big customers have experienced some problems with the stability of the Azure cloud."
"The implementation can be quite technical."
"I find the user interface of newer versions, particularly, the flows, not user-friendly. The UI of Azure’s initial version was very comfortable. I didn’t have to remember floor menus. I knew where I had to go to see the logs or grab configuration parameters."
"We encountered an issue where enabling SFTP on Microsoft Azure Block Storage didn’t allow us to get the IP address, as Azure doesn’t support it."
"The performance could be improved, but all the services in the cloud are improved every week."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Azure Block Storage is an expensive solution and I pay monthly."
"The solution is affordable, and we only pay for what we use."
"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."
"The price of Microsoft Azure Block Storage could be less expensive."
"Microsoft Azure Block Storage is a pretty cheap and affordable product, so we have not seen any budget issues related to the solution in our company."
"The cost of procuring storage depends on the customer's license availability."
"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 has a fair price. However, the price could be lower."
"The platform is expensive."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
