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.
Hosney Osman - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Microsoft products are much more industrial strength and enterprise-ready than any other services out there."
"You can reduce operational costs and the cost of resources, it is easy to maintain, and I would recommend this product."
"The installation of the product is quite easy, because automation is already in place, allowing easy deployment and integration with any file server and the requirements involved."
"Versioning is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the API because it is very flexible."
"With Microsoft Azure Object Storage, they are an open market."
"We can do data queries easily."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage offers hassle-free usage. It is easy to configure."
"This is a product that I recommend to others who are interested in using it."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"I like the stability and the scalability of this product."
"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."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"The interface is good."
 

Cons

"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"The stability could be improved."
"I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive."
"Object re-use should be improved in order to get better performance and reduce the cost."
"We've seen some performance issues with Azure Table storage. It's quite slow. The performance surrounding it should be improved to speed things up a bit."
"Regarding technical support from Microsoft, I find the unified support is not as per my expectation. Most of the issues I log do not get resolved on the first attempt."
"The customer support for Microsoft Azure Object Storage is not good."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"I have been working with Oracle Database Backup Service for five years, and it has already been quite an expensive and extensive experience."
"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."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"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 for Microsoft Azure Object Storage is high and needs some reduction. It's a seven out of ten, price-wise, because it currently limits your consumption, so the solution should have better pricing."
"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."
"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."
"We have a separate package and pay extra for additional technical support."
"The licensing cost of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is monthly. We have two types of licenses. One is the EA enterprise license and the other is a CSP license."
"Encryption feature is an add-on."
"The cost is based on the amount of traffic and we paid approximately 18 lakh Rupees ($25,000 USD) last year."
"Pricing is always confusing for all Microsoft products. For this solution, they do provide the estimates, but it is not easy to guess the exact amount that we will be billed."
"The platform is expensive."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"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 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."
