PS
Enterprise Architect at ATOS
Has supported hybrid deployments but needs stronger security features and improved handling of sudden storage spikes
For areas of improvement, they have all the features from Azure Monitor and Azure Cost Manager, which provide insights into consumption, and the policies are already taken care of, but it needs enhancement in security aspects. Security alerts and integrations could be improved as part of lifecycle management, especially for archives and restoration requirements, along with automations that we can plan. For GRS, they should offer it by default because many providers are entering the market and providing similar features, making it quite competitive from a price point of view. There are some limitations related to quotas and storage requirements. For drastic demands, we may need to provide quotas and other requirements to Microsoft for them to manage forecast and capacity planning. If there are sudden ad hoc needs that involve petabytes, there should be storage availability in the data center hosting that storage. This relates to temporary spikes in storage needs; for example, if storage is needed for a week with huge requirements, Microsoft should adapt to these requirements effectively.

Technical Solution Architect at Vodafone
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

"It is a stable solution and serve our purposes"
"It is easy to use, and we use it for backup and remote desktop access. It is working fine."
"I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it is on the cloud."
"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."
"Object Storage has given us total peace of mind."
"The metadata that the solution provides is quite valuable for us. 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 layout of Microsoft is professional."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is stable and offers high availability, and the commands for restoration and backup processes are not complicated."
"We've definitely seen an ROI despite this being an expensive solution."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"This is a product that I recommend to others who are interested in using it."
"The interface is good."
"I am satisfied with the licensing policy and pricing of this product."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
 

Cons

"The setup process could always be a bit easier."
"Support and cost are areas that can be improved. The cost of support is always expensive."
"Sometimes, I have issues with the Microsoft portal, which interrupts the service."
"The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."
"Object re-use should be improved in order to get better performance and reduce the cost."
"Object Storage's integration with other backup software could be improved."
"Technical support should be faster at resolving issues for tickets that we create."
"Uploading files from the UI has presented some issues. When editing work and once you delete a file, it takes some time to recreate the same file."
"The initial setup is overly complex, unnecessarily so."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement. If you do a comparison with other products, it's more expensive and it stops a few customers from purchasing Oracle, especially the engineered systems that have the data and more, which are relatively expensive."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing can be improved. There is an yearly licensing cost for the solution. There are some reserve instances that are additional to the licensing cost."
"Object Storage is cost-effective, and our license fees are about $200 per month."
"For the cloud, you get charges every day if you are going to download anything, besides the cost for storage those charges are always there."
"Encryption feature is an add-on."
"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."
"I'm not aware of the licensing cost, as my customer handles it. In Taiwan, it's reasonably priced."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a four out of ten because there is a lot of competition out there."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"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."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The platform is expensive."
