Akram Zabat

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.

Cons

"One potential area for improvement is the replication process."

"The setup process could always be a bit easier."

"The pricing of the solution can be improved."

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

More Microsoft Azure Object Storage cons

"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."

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

"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."

"We cannot use the product with other brands."

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

"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
