Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the API because it is very flexible.""It's easy to use.""I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks.""It is a stable solution and serve our purposes""This product is very reliable and all of the security that our client requires is available.""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 best thing is it's on the cloud. It's easily accessible to everyone through a mobile device, tablet, or laptop. Secondly, it's secure. Like any URL shared will not work after a few hours. Only the person concerned who has that URL can use it within a few hours to download the document. After that, it expires. Thirdly, we all keep an archive. For example, if there are old documents, they are still stored over there. Another nice Azure feature is that they have the regional set up for that storage, and there's no downtime, and I'm grateful for that. We don't have to worry, because it's secure. If something goes down, they have other copies of it on a separate server, and it's accessible.""We can do data queries easily."

"The initial setup is straightforward.""The most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups.""The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost.""The tool is very user-friendly.""Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution.""Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it.

Cons
"We're still testing the solution. It's too early to make any suggestions as to what may be missing.""The solution needs to improve the custom domain integration with static web pages. Even though Blog Storage is providing the static content hosting feature, due to the custom domain availability, the integration is not available. In most cases, we withdraw from that service and use our app service to host our static data feeds.""I would like to have out-of-the-box connectors to make integration with other products easier.""I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive.""The tool should be a little bit cheaper.""The administration of the solution is not as easy as we would like it to be.""The solution can be quite slow.""The password retrieval process was very difficult."
