What advice do you have for others considering Microsoft Azure Object Storage?

I definitely recommend Microsoft Azure Object Storage. I would rate this product nine on a scale of one to ten.

I am still using Microsoft Azure products. I am using many of these resources, such as file storage, object storage, and OpenAI from Azure. I am working with object storage, and I have not yet started with OpenAI. I have not yet integrated with Azure Databricks and Azure Functions for real-time data processing. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage a seven.

I am both selling this product and acting as a service provider integrator. I am aware of the GRS feature, which is Geo-Redundant Storage. It depends on the criticality of the applications and the requirements, so they select LRS or GRS based on what they need. I work with Azure Blob storage. Most of my clients have their solutions in both the cloud and on-premise; it's hybrid. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage a seven.

The geo-redundant storage, GRS feature in Microsoft Azure Object Storage depends on the redundancy the customer chooses, such as LRS, ZRS, or GRS, which we can configure as per their requirement. The decision on which tier to use for Microsoft Azure Object Storage data is totally dependent on the customer requirement. If they want to keep data that is not accessed frequently, we configure it in the Cold or Archive tier, while if the data is accessed frequently, we configure it in the Hot tier. The integration of Microsoft Azure Object Storage with other Azure services totally depends on the customer requirement. For example, we are currently deploying Databricks as per the customer's needs. Our customers utilize lifecycle management policies, which we define based on how the customer manages their data. For example, we can provide a default policy of seven days continuous backup, and then monthly or weekly backup policies we define during the backup scenario. Lifecycle policies, which we define for Microsoft Azure Object Storage, help in automating data transitions and deletions for archival storage, allowing us to set up policies so that if data is unused for a month, it is automatically moved to the archive, and this is configurable based on the customer requirement. Our customers monitor the performance metrics of Microsoft Azure Object Storage with the help of monitoring tools that allow them to monitor their resources performance. We do not use any additional third-party tools to monitor, as we configure Azure Monitor to monitor the complete resources. I rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage ten out of ten.

I am just a customer. This was a product level discussion, not a group level discussion. We are moving our entire workload to Microsoft Azure. For pricing, it is good because we pay based on usage, though performance for large-scale data generation practice, particularly downloading data, could be improved. I would rate this solution eight out of ten.

Azure cloud services are quite an easy solution with many tools to operate, such as the CLI, software development kit, and the portal. They are very easy to use and suitable for enterprise purposes. In contrast, AWS requires coding knowledge and more experience. I would rate this solution nine out of ten.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

The tool's maintenance is not complex. We have deployed an observability platform on Microsoft Azure Object Storage, and all the parameters in our dashboards are not complex. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Overall I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I worked for a company that was a Microsoft Gold partner. I will not recommend the product to others. Google is a better tool. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

I recommend it. However, it depends on the specific use cases and existing environments. For new users, especially, it is a good start. However, those with several years of industry experience should thoroughly analyze requirements to determine which suits them better. Overall, I rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I am working with the latest version of Microsoft Azure Object Storage. Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a cloud-based solution. Since Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a cloud-based solution, users should ensure they have a good bandwidth for uploading. Most internet service providers provide far better download speed than uploading speed. If you use the solution frequently, ensure that your uploading speed is updated with your downloading speed. Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a very good solution if you need to safely store large datasets on the cloud. Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage an eight out of ten.

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.

Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a cloud-based solution. I would recommend Microsoft Azure Object Storage to other users. Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage an eight out of ten.

I recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

I would rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage a six out of ten.

I rate Azure Blob storage an eight out of ten. I recommend it to others as it is a leading cloud provider. I advise the customers to consider the cost. If you find it expensive, you can go for GCP and AWS.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

It is one of the best features or resources, especially for people who want to use Blob Storage for unstructured data. For us, it is a very cost-effective resource since we can understand it easily. I haven't experienced any issues with this solution for the past five to six years. I rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I rate the solution a six out of ten. The solution is good but the scalability and initial setup process can be improved.

The solution and AWS are the most stable options in the public cloud domain so I recommend either depending on use case. A cost analysis will determine which option is the best fit. Services are more feasible with one cloud provider as opposed to multiple cloud providers at the same time. I rate the solution a six out of ten.

As a cloud-based solution, we are always on the latest version. It stays up-to-date. I'd recommend the product to other users and organizations. Overall, I would rate the product ten out of ten.

Object Storage is easy to use, very portable, and easy to integrate. I would rate it as nine out of ten.

I would recommend Microsoft Azure Object Storage to anyone considering implementing this solution. The UI is easy to manage. When you go inside Blob, it looks just like your local File Explorer. Also, you can feel confident that encryption is there. I would rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage an eight out of ten overall.

The company I worked for was a Microsoft gold partner. We were Azure partners as well. We use a private cloud deployment. There were some sensitive products that were supposed to only be available as a part of the private cloud, even though they were in the Azure cloud, they were fully accessible from the internal network. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We're customers and end-users. It's a very powerful tool. I love the fact that Microsoft was really committed to improving it. Therefore, from the early days that we started using it, we can actually see that continuously there are changes and improvements. They do listen to their customers. They really try to make sure that they have a best-in-class product. Microsoft would be very good for very big organizations. In terms of KNIME, the good thing is you can actually scale it down with a small organization that doesn't want to really go really big. They both work and they're complementary. I would rate it eight out of ten.

It's definitely one of the top Azure Cloud objects out there for file storage and accessing files. Especially if you're using the Microsoft ecosystem, it's definitely one of the best tools for cloud storage for files. I would rate it a nine out of ten just because of the mobile presence.

My advice to others is if you're going to be copying the data in Microsoft Azure Object Storage it will be slow. I rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage an eight out of ten.

We're a gold partner with Microsoft. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten due to the ADLS integration and the different authentication mechanisms that we have. We need to make sure that the data which we are storing in those storage objects is highly secured. That is where Azure is providing us with the best features. We can go with the different mechanisms like its Nexus security or the AD authentication. Or, they also provide us admin encryption, including the transparent keys. With transparent encryption, we can encrypt based on customer-based keys. Those are also some good features that make it a really great product.

I would advise others to go through the documentation first, and if required, they should get help from Microsoft Certified partners. If they are dealers, they should go for Microsoft Azure certification. It is very helpful in technical installation and deployment. I would rate Microsoft Azure Object Storage a seven out of ten.

In terms of Azure and the actual version we are using, don't know what it is. We are using the cloud of Azure and I don't know if there is a concept of a version for cloud deployments. That said, the software, Veeam, that we are using is on-premises to do the backup and it's version 10. Overall, I would rate this product at an eight out of ten. We had a lot of problems in the beginning, and a lot of these problems were due to our implementation partner using a local S3 block storage provider. They were not able to restore the backups. However, Azure is a very good solution in general and we've had a very positive experience since we've finished the implementation itself.

Based on the requirements given to us by our client, this is a product that I will recommend. I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

Azure Object Storage is a product that I strongly recommend for storing all of your unstructured data. Similarly, if you don't know what kinds of data you need to store, then this is the right choice. It also does well if you have massive volume. There is an IoT hub that is going to be released and my hope is that it includes many advanced features. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I am satisfied with the features that Azure Object Storage has. In general, this is a product that I recommend but at the end of the day, the suitability depends on the use case and the requirements. If it is something that meets their needs then it will be very beneficial. As we have worked with this product, we have not come across any problems that could not be resolved. That said, there is always room for improvement. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The suitability of this solution depends on your use cases and your requirements. Sometimes you will need block storage, rather than object storage. You need to know what technology is applicable and practical for your use cases. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are currently using. In terms of if other organizations should use the solution, I'd say that the question is, do they understand what they prefer. They need to understand the data they want to store and if they will need regular access to it. If they need the data to be easily accessible daily, they need to go for a Hot Tier. If they feel like they would be better off archiving, they need to look for a Cold Tier. The difference between the two is huge. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

It's not just the storage that is being affected, they have to know if they want to move the data back, and the data is vast and large, those costs will have to be taken care of also. That is something that you will have to be aware and cautious of. I would recommend this solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

You can reduce operational costs and the cost of resources. It is easy to maintain, and I would recommend this product. I would rate this solution a nine out ten.

I recommend using this tool as it is useful and very easy to implement. Any develop can help to reduce their costs. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
