Consultant - Architecture Solution at Onepoint

Provides versatile data storage solutions with a simple setup and easy to use

It's similar to S3 for AWS. The ability to store everything inside Blob or Object storage and use it for archiving data is beneficial. For example, you can transform data from relational databases, flatten it, and store it in Object storage to save space within the databases. If I want to save data and do not require legacy access, it's a good solution, for instance, to migrate archives from databases to Object storage. This can also be used for business intelligence purposes. Having a storage solution for data makes it the best place to store it. Azure has its own solution for StatsQ Web Apps.

Achieve high availability and security with automated tasks over a decade

While there are some disadvantages in this product, from my experience with basic use cases, daily tasks, integration, scheduling, saving, and encryption, I have not encountered significant areas for improvement. However, the addition of a GUI configuration management and administration console for all administrative tasks would be highly beneficial. It would be preferable to have the ability to perform all console, terminal, and command line operations through a GUI interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AzCopy is probably the best feature. It's a scripting app or a scripting function. Whether it's a Linux batch or a PowerShell script, you can essentially just send a file via a line of code with a specific key."

"The reason is that I believe they only offer the corporate interface we use, and perhaps they should consider creating a historical customer interface. I haven't created a virtual machine; instead, I've established a personal GED. This allows me to provide customers with the necessary role functions, enabling them to download files without incurring excessive costs."

"The file retention and object retention have been most valuable."

"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its performance and stability."

"You can peer into different levels of the archive."

"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."

"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is flexible and has all the features we need."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pros

"The backup is reliable and intuitive."

"The interface is good."

"Oracle Database Backup Service is stable and offers high availability, and the commands for restoration and backup processes are not complicated."

"It's a scalable product."

"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."

"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."

"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."

Cons

"Sometimes, I have issues with the Microsoft portal, which interrupts the service."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"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 setup process could always be a bit easier."

"The initial setup could be more straightforward. It would be best if you had a little bit of training or an understanding of the concepts. It's important because if you don't do that, then you might end up not following the best practices. Then you will learn it the hard way by making mistakes and then know that you shouldn't have done this or that. It's better to attend workshops and take a hands-on approach."

"The solution can be quite slow."

"I would like to have out-of-the-box connectors to make integration with other products easier."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage cons

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

"The installation process is easy for me because I have performed this action hundreds of times. However, it is important to note that beginners and even some senior professionals may encounter significant difficulties during installation."

"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."

"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."

"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."

More Oracle Database Backup Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of this solution is high compared to others, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"We have a separate package and pay extra for additional technical support."

"I would rate the pricing a four out of ten because there is a lot of competition out there."

"The price will be more competitive when we increase the time spent using the tool. For our company's size range, I think the price is okay."

"I think we pay per bit as per usage. There is a billing pattern for the subscription, and we get a monthly bill. I've seen that happen over there. I haven't seen any fixed costs. It always depends on what we're using and how much the servers are running. The breakdown appears on the bill."

"It has a pay-as-you-go model. So, you are only paying for what you store. It's an attractive model. You don't pay for a set; you pay for what you actually use."

"Object Storage is cost-effective, and our license fees are about $200 per month."

"Microsoft Azure Object Storage requires a license. We are using a pay-as-you-go model and we have an enterprise subscription model as well."

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The platform is expensive."

"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."

"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."

"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."

Oracle Database Backup Service is a secure, scalable, on-demand solution for storing Oracle Database backups in Oracle Cloud.

Oracle databases are backed up to Oracle Database Backup Service using the Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module. The module is available from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and is tightly integrated with Recovery Manager (RMAN), so you can continue to use familiar RMAN commands for backup and restore operations.
