Find out in this report how the two Data Migration Appliances solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Azure Data Box saves us a great deal of time when migrating data to Azure."
"The solution has allowed the organization to safely transfer and store into the cloud easily and quickly large amounts of data that can then be readily accessed."
"We're looking at this solution because it's part of an overall tool suite, so the integration piece is what's striking our interest in it."
"It provides secure transfer of large amounts of data."
"It is a good fit with ease of integration there."
"Microsoft Azure Data Box has much more usability than other tools like it. It is very intuitive."
"One valuable aspect is the support we receive from Microsoft Azure vendors."
"We use the solution for integration purposes."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"It's scalable."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"When it comes to old applications, they may not be the most suitable environment for Microsoft's current focus on Azure and the latest technologies. It would be helpful if Microsoft could provide some guidelines or recommendations for transitioning from old to new."
"The device must be transported off-site before the data is uploaded into the Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"I am not confident in this device's ability to perform a network backup in our data center."
"Deployment can be a major challenge. It's important to understand the organization's policies, the data store where the data will be going, the necessary permissions, and the specific type of Data Box being used. We also need to consider the encryption keys that need to be utilized."
"It's a single node solution. If it can be spread out across more of the enterprise and have more segregation in its virtual environment, that would be good."
"For me it doesn't work well. ... If you are a non-Microsoft shop, to use Microsoft Azure Data Box, you would need to integrate it with your other vendors, and whether or not that will be possible will depend on the platform or platforms that host them."
"The solution is straightforward with simple application migration, but plug-and-play AI is not involved simultaneously."
"On an enterprise level, a per-user license for more than 1,000 users is very costly."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The workflow could be improved."
