If we need to analyze the latest data from a particular department or particular user, we can simply query through the metadata we store in Azure Object Storage and simply fetch those records which are maybe one day or one month old. this metadata storage is really handy for us."
"The reason is that I believe they only offer the corporate interface we use, and perhaps they should consider creating a historical customer interface.

This allows me to provide customers with the necessary role functions, enabling them to download files without incurring excessive costs."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is flexible and has all the features we need."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."

"Currently, the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer is just a Windows app. I don't know if it's available on mobile, such as iOS or Android. I don't know if the app is mobile-friendly. It should be mobile-friendly."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage has had a number of failures last week due to the lack of hardware available to support the resources. However, it was only for a short time, approximately two days."
"The administration of the solution is not as easy as we would like it to be."

"Lowering the price would improve this product."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
"The solution is very expensive."
