"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is its performance."
"The solution has a valuable gearing feature."
"This is a very robust and flexible solution."

"The most valuable feature is the cost value, which is very important for long term retention."
"The most important thing for me is reliability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"Microsoft Azure Block Storage can improve the configuration to be more user-friendly."
"One thing that needs improvement is authentication. They need to improve the integrated Azure Active Directory for the enterprise level. For single sign-on, we can try any authentication or portal for Block Azure Function AKS. For example, if you're an administrator or user contributor, you will generate a token, then your internal middleware connects to any Azure Cloud service. You need to generate different credentials for each service. We cannot use the same token."
"There is a drawback or limitation to the GRS storage feature because depending on the amount of data, it could take a lot of time."
"Uploading of data could be improved. Currently, the only way you can upload your data is by using their storage explorer. You need to use a command line to do that. Then, maybe you can go online and you can use their explorer to check to see if it's there. If they had a third-party application to handle the upload, it would be better. Many people aren't familiar with command lines for uploading data. It makes it more difficult for many users."
"If the documentation could be improved then it would be very good. Right now, if you face a question, you have to guess how it works or you have to test your hypothesis."
"I have used Amazon's solutions which are better than Microsoft's. However, since I have predominately Microsoft solutions it is a better choice for me to use another Microsoft solution."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The security is poor, and the sharing model is confusing, conceptually. I'd prefer not to use it. I'd like a user-friendly web interface and a better security model."
"The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."
"I would like to have out-of-the-box connectors to make integration with other products easier."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is a pretty expensive solution."
"We experienced an outage issue recently, which affected its overall stability and reliability."
"The solution can be quite slow."
"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."
"Azure's technical support could be better - they take a long time to respond, and issues get transferred to multiple engineers, so you have to repeat the whole story every time without getting any proper resolution."
"One of the things that are currently important is consistency. To achieve this, another database called Cosmos DB is available. We want to have a similar consistency to the one in Cosmos DB but at a cheaper price."
