We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Object Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We've had no issues with stability."
"The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. It's very straightforward and easy to implement."
"The stability is very good."
"The solution easily connects with the cloud, hardware, or other services to move data."
"Amazon S3 has multiple types of data detection. You can store data on a monthly basis, yearly basis, and long term basis."
"It's good for starting up because you only pay for what you use."
"The versioning of this solution for accidental deletion has been most valuable."
"Enables content sharing by multiple users."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it is on the cloud."
"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."
"It is easy to use, and we use it for backup and remote desktop access. It is working fine."
"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."
"Object Storage's best feature is that it's easy to deploy."
"AzCopy is probably the best feature. It's a scripting app or a scripting function. Whether it's a Linux batch or a PowerShell script, you can essentially just send a file via a line of code with a specific key."
"What I like most about Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that you have many ways to access it."
"The solution integrates well with Microsoft Office 365 and includes important features such as SIEM, storage, SQL, and Cosmos DB."
"The solution's cost should be improved."
"It is difficult to retrieve files in an emergency because the public cloud has data limits for immediate downloads."
"The down side is the web app should be aware of all the features that S3 provides in order to leverage its full potential."
"You do need to get training on the setup process."
"In the next release, I think that it would be good to have wizards that would update into specific applications, for example, a one-touch configuration in Pagemaker."
"The solution's data transfer speed could be improved."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"The search option must be enabled in the UI to filter and retrieve files."
"Object Storage's integration with other backup software could be improved."
"In future releases, I would add something like a better lifecycle management system, and for integration purposes, I would add some stuff related to newer concepts like data products and databases. I would like to have a seamless flow between those things."
"I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive."
"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"The administration of the solution is not as easy as we would like it to be."
"The product is expensive."
"They could provide multiple tools to provide you with cost calculations, giving you a better picture or providing better details of the cost calculations over the years."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward. It would be best if you had a little bit of training or an understanding of the concepts. It's important because if you don't do that, then you might end up not following the best practices. Then you will learn it the hard way by making mistakes and then know that you shouldn't have done this or that. It's better to attend workshops and take a hands-on approach."
