Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I like about Microsoft Azure File Storage is its convenience for customers, cost-effectiveness, and high availability.""Azure File Storage gives good value for money, so I don't find it expensive.""The most significant aspect of Microsoft Azure File Storage is its life cycle functionality, which enables us to transfer files to various storage options, such as hot storage, full storage, and archive. This feature is crucial since we can apply a life cycle method to files that have not been in use for an extended period, and then move them to a cheaper cold storage option to save costs. Since the newest files are stored in the hot storage, it met our specific requirements. Consequently, older files can be transferred to archive and cold storage.""It helps us with geo-redundancy.""The interface is very good.""Its simplicity of use is most valuable. It's easy to start working with it and understand it. It's easier to transfer files between different users. I'm able to move files from my device to my manager's device without any issues or without facing any problems in between.""The biggest advantage of Azure File Storage vis-à-vis other public cloud storage providers, and why we recommend Azure first and foremost, is that many of our customers have partnerships with Microsoft and so they have access to better cloud economics. Compared to AWS, we have found that (from a customer perspective) Azure is much more competitive.""First of all, the solution is very secure. Secondly, the solution is very fast. It is reliable and available all the time."

Cons
"The product’s pricing could be better.""The support could improve.""Microsoft Azure File Storage needs more integrations. In the future, I also want to see GRC added to the portal. If you enroll or sign up for Azure services, your country may not have GRC available in the portal, so you may have to choose a strange country, for example, Kenya, to activate credit.""The storage account key could be a security issue.""Microsoft Azure File Storage is not that easy to use.""The initial setup is complex. Unless you have done it a few times it, it is going to be hard.""Considering the enterprise licensing required for the solution, the cost of the solution is an area where the product needs improvement.""Lacks integration with other platforms."

"We cannot use the product with other brands.""Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined.""The solution needs to add an archive function.""The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it.""Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution.""It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed.""The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time.""They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For one terabyte of data, we are spending about 150 Euro every month."

  • "Microsoft Azure File Storage has a reasonable price."
  • "I give the pricing of the solution a seven out of ten."
