Mature, scalable, stable, and accessible
Pros and Cons
  • "What I like most about Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that you have many ways to access it."
  • "I have no complaints about Microsoft Azure Object Storage, but maybe its market size could be more extensive, and its backup speed enhanced."

What is our primary use case?

We use Microsoft Azure Object Storage for our data streams and logs. We bring all our live data streams and store them in Microsoft Azure Object Storage. When the files are added to the folder, the Lambda series will kick in, and then we will run and train the models with new data and publish the results. The outputs will be written to Snowflake.

What is most valuable?

What I like most about Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that you have many ways to access it.

What needs improvement?

I have no complaints about Microsoft Azure Object Storage, but maybe its market size could be more extensive, and its backup speed enhanced. My company is still building an amenity, so I have yet to review what went wrong with the current stack. My team will document anything that's not developed as technical learning.

One limitation of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that you can only use it if your data does not change. If your data is in a file, you also use Microsoft Azure Object Storage. The solution is not meant for data that you need to update.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Microsoft Azure Object Storage since 2011.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

My rating for Microsoft Azure Object Storage in terms of stability is nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Microsoft Azure Object Storage depends on the use case and how an aspect of the solution can be leveraged as data storage on public storage. Still, based on my use case, Microsoft Azure Object Storage is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

My experience is with Microsoft Azure Object Storage developer support for real-time issues, particularly support from the Microsoft Azure portal. It's a seven out of ten support-wise because it could be far better. I'm aware that many issues can arise from availability, but my team was able to manage, so I rate it as seven. Otherwise, I would have given the support a four or five.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used AWS and found Microsoft Azure Object Storage more mature than AWS because, database-wise, Microsoft Azure Object Storage is more well-known, so I prefer it over AWS, and my company went with it.

From a service point of view, on the other hand, AWS is better than Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure Object Storage in terms of integration and data storage. AWS is also more comfortable for memory and virtual machines, but Google Cloud is better for data workflows.

How was the initial setup?

I found Microsoft Azure Object Storage simple to set up, but it depends on how well you know the service. If you know the service, then setting it up is pretty straightforward, but if you do not know Microsoft Azure Object Storage, you first need to understand how it's meant to be implemented. For me, setting up the solution is easy.

What about the implementation team?

We do the deployments for Microsoft Azure Object Storage. We test the development in-house, as we have our infrastructure.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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. The pricing for Microsoft Azure Object Storage should be more flexible for clients.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated AWS and GCP.

What other advice do I have?

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is currently deployed on a private cloud, but my company will eventually deploy it on the public cloud.

My company doesn't have direct users accessing Microsoft Azure Object Storage because the target is to write data on it on the object bucket.

I can recommend Microsoft Azure Object Storage to others, but I'll base my recommendation on the use case.

Based on what I'm using it for, my rating for the solution is nine out of ten.

My parent company has a partnership with Microsoft Azure Object Storage.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

Helps you create data lakes for your analytics needs, and provides storage to build powerful cloud-native and mobile apps
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."

What is our primary use case?

Perhaps some customers wish to share information such as DPN or other materials about the company. However, we are uncertain about reaching every worldwide employee in every country or office. Therefore, this solution allows to download or access information like product details or new prices.

What is most valuable?

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.         

What needs improvement?

The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft Azure Object Storage for three to five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have used Microsoft's technical support through phone calls; the experience was okay.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Regarding the integration and setup of Public Storage, it was a bit complex. The upgrade process was okay. In terms of time, I'm not sure about the exact duration of the deployment. We use object storage for data related to different customers. I'm still learning about the steps involved in deployment.

What about the implementation team?

We didn't use a consultant; it's done in-house. The technical staff needed for deployment and maintenance is more than ten. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not aware of the licensing cost, as my customer handles it. In Taiwan, it's reasonably priced,

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution, and my advice is to use it for object storage or other services. I would like to see improvements in integration to support multiple operations.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted the support team for a couple of issues. The team is knowledgeable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using the on-premise solution NAS provided by Dell.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward.

What was our ROI?

The tool is worth the money.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is expensive. However, we can choose to get a budget-friendly license. The vendor should offer extensions on the licenses. People are still working on on-premise servers. If we want them to move to the cloud, the vendors must provide competitive prices. We have a couple of small to medium businesses. The solution is not affordable for small businesses.

What other advice do I have?

The vendor must provide more information on how the tool helps users. Many of our clients do not know the solutions provided by the vendor. Though the information is available on the website, most customers do not understand the technical aspects. A better way to explain the tool's uses would be through pictures. Overall, I rate the product an eight and a half out of ten.
