Quotes from Members

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

Cons

"It would be helpful if we could remove data that we don't frequently access to reduce the cost of the storage."
"I have used the file storage explorer in multiple systems, and it seems a bit cumbersome and not very efficient, particularly with authentication. It can be tricky to set it up."
"The initial setup is complex. Unless you have done it a few times it, it is going to be hard."
"Importing and exporting data needs to have a bit more documentation."
"The product must provide better security functions."
"The provider needs to collect more information about the products."

"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."

"I think the pricing of the product can be reduced."

"The pricing is usually dependent on your storage requirements. Overall, I believe Microsoft Azure File Storage's price is reasonable."
"One of the major benefits for AWS is that they have a very large customer representative base where clients can be picked from, they offer large discounts and credit. We were not able to receive the same kind of offers from Microsoft Azure File Storage. We tried to approach Azure while hiring for our disaster recovery discussion, but we didn't receive anything from Azure."
"The solution is a bit pricey compared to AWS and Google."
"There are fewer hidden costs involved compared to other solutions, and when our customer is already a Microsoft partner, they typically have access to more affordable fees."
"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."
"The platform is expensive."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The platform is expensive."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
