Pros
"We have had a good experience with customer service and support.""You can peer into different levels of the archive.""The features of Microsoft Azure Object Storage that are most valuable are the ones providing encryption.

Cons
"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.""Microsoft Azure Object Storage has had a number of failures last week due to the lack of hardware available to support the resources. However, it was only for a short time, approximately two days.""The solution needs to improve the custom domain integration with static web pages. Even though Blog Storage is providing the static content hosting feature, due to the custom domain availability, the integration is not available. In most cases, we withdraw from that service and use our app service to host our static data feeds.""Currently, the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer is just a Windows app. I don't know if it's available on mobile, such as iOS or Android. I don't know if the app is mobile-friendly. It should be mobile-friendly.""Object Storage's integration with other backup software could be improved.""Technical support should be faster at resolving issues for tickets that we create.""The initial setup is not easy to understand.""We would like it if we did not have to use another encryption solution to encrypt the storage."

"The solution’s user reporting could be improved.""Setting up users on the appliance should be improved.""I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve.""The scalability could be improved.""The scalability could improve.""The solution must allow the extension of the retention period.""Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent."
