Microsoft Azure Block Storage Reviews

Microsoft Azure Block Storage is used for data storage.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Block Storage are flexibility and the possibility to trigger actions.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Block Storage for approximately one year.

The stability of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is good but could improve.

I rate the stability of Microsoft Azure Block Storage an eight out of ten.

Microsoft Azure Block Storage is scalable. The scalability is based on the subscription parameters.

We have a few hundred users using this solution in my organization.

I have not used the support from Microsoft Azure Block Storage. However, I know others who have and they are good.

I rate the support from Microsoft Azure Block Storage a four out of five.

Positive

The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is easy.

The price of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is less expensive than other solutions on the market, such as Cloud Storage from GCP.

We evaluated other solutions before purchasing Microsoft Azure Block Storage, such as Cloud Storage from GCP. Based on our experience and our project, the solution is very similar.

I rate Microsoft Azure Block Storage an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for the availability and to archive data. I am using the latest version.

It provides secure cloud storage.

The performance could be improved, but all the services in the cloud are improved every week.

I have used Azure Block Storage for many years.

It's stable.

It's easily scalable.

Technical support is always helpful.

Setup was easy.

The cost is very low. The cost is something like $0.01 to $0.50 per gig.

It's pay per use. We have a yearly license.

I would rate this solution 10 out of 10. 

For those who want to use this solution, my advice is to know how to use the services and make a proof of concept for the requirements. If all goes well, then go to production.

This solution is integrated to the backup console, so there's no user interaction. We're using Azure Block Storage as our second copy storage.

We're working as a distributor.

We use this solution for backup storage on our on-premise backup.

There are capacity limitations that could be expanded.

When freeing the backup capacity on our disk, we have to create another block storage and integrate with that. The limitations may be an issue with the customer.

It should be more flexible for customers. For example, if a customer needs 10TB of capacity, it should be flexible for the customer to expand to that capacity.

I have been using this solution for one year.

It's a stable solution.

There are some limitations when it comes to the capacity and scalability.

Installation is simple. You don't need an integrator or consultant for setup.

We compared this solution with AWS S3. It mostly works like object storage.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.

I develop the solution for customers, so the use case varies.

The ability to synchronize data in a distributed environment is very useful. It makes it easier to work with different geographic and availability zones.  

The solution could have better archival policies and localization of data.

I have been using this solution for about three or four years.

The stability and reliability of the product are very good.

Scalability is there, I never see an issue with the scalability of the solution.

We sometimes have issues during data migration or face a bug, which requires us to contact the support team. I would mark them four out of ten.

Neutral

I would say the setup is simple. 

I also work with AWS, so that was a consideration. 

Azure Block Storage has very good integration with the Microsoft suite, which helps a lot when creating a digital workspace. That's why I like this product.I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We recently moved to Block Storage for SQL on Azure. It enables our employees to work remotely. We are customers of Microsoft and I'm a technical infrastructure analyst.

This is a very robust and flexible solution.

I'd like them to improve the features of data gathering - sometimes you need to get the data from the block and it's usually very expensive.

I've been using this solution for six months. 

The solution is stable. 

This solution is very scalable. 

Microsoft provides good support. They respond quickly and their technical people are very helpful. 

The initial setup is easy. 

It's important to analyze your requirements because it can sometimes be a problem in terms of price. Pay attention to locking because sometimes the amount of data on the block can lock your business.

I rate the solution 10 out of 10. 

We have Azure Block Storage because we heavily use image and video files in our application for our data. We are able to store and download them from our web application to view images and stream/playback videos.

This is a very stable solution.

I would like for the next release to replace the CDN being used for content delivery, there is currently a rather long delay.

I have been using this solution for more than four years.

I have not had any issues regarding the stability thus far.

This is a scalable solution. We have twelve people using Azure at our company with over four thousand end users

Microsoft support is really amazing. We got feedback quickly, almost within twenty four hours.

The initial setup was easy. All I needed to do was create an account and begin configuration.

I was able to complete the setup myself and it took all but thirty minutes.

Note that if you plan to use Azure, you will need to create an account with AWS.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Azure Block Storage as the secure backup destination for data from on-premise sources and also from cloud services. I backup files from SQL to Azure Block Storage and restore from Azure when needed.

We can use Azure Block Storage for some of our bigger files. 

Azure Block Storage could use more capacity.

We started using Azure Block Storage in 2020.

So far, so good.

Azure Block Storage is scalable enough to meet the needs of our company of 1,000 employees.

We had a minor issue with Block Storage, but we never opened a ticket with Microsoft support.

Setting up Block Storage is simple. We handled it ourselves, and it only took around an hour. After deployment, all the maintenance is done by the provider.

I think Azure Block Storage is a reasonable price for the amount of storage we're getting. 

I rate Azure Block Storage eight out of 10. I like that I don't need much technical experience. I always recommend Azure Block Storage to other companies that already used Azure. -

We are currently using it for POC. It is not yet live. The data storage is pulling the data.

We have the latest version of this solution.

It is easy to integrate with applications.

It should be easier to deploy.

I have been using this solution for one year.

It is stable.

It is scalable. Currently, we have three or four users.

Their support is fine.

Its installation is okay. It takes around one hour.

It was done by me. Sometimes, it is also done by a third party.

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Microsoft Azure Block Storage a seven out of ten.
