We performed a comparison between Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Microsoft Azure Block Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides big space that is reasonably priced."
"The most important feature is the volume types in those hundred EDS. For example, if you need a volume with high IOPS, you should choose an io2 or io2 Block Express volume type. The default volume type for EBS is GP3, which is a good balance of performance and price for most workloads."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is backup...Amazon EBS is a very good product since it is very easy to enhance or increase and migrate your servers immediately, in a matter of seconds."
"The tool has different types of volumes, like SSD and HDD."
"When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one."
"The product’s most valuable feature is IOPS."
"When I have to change the operating system or delete a host, I can store the data in EBS or assign it to another host."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy to manage."
"The price is decent. I rate Azure Block Storage eight out of 10 for affordability."
"The tool is pretty easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is the backing up of files."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ease with which you connect and use it."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Block Storage is the security and the management of user access from on-premise to the cloud."
"RBAC, access control, soft delete, hard delete, and cool and hot storage tiers are some of the features I have found valuable in Azure Block storage."
"The product’s security features are valuable."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The cost of using EBS is high compared to other cloud vendors such as Tencent Cloud or CARI Cloud. Some costs are generated immediately and some are likely to increase."
"The product data encryption feature needs improvement."
"It is hard to access EBS volumes in different Availability Zones (AZs) because most EBS volumes are created in a single AZ."
"The setup could be easier."
"In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB."
"It would be good if the solution added a button to increase the size and make the EC2 machine recognize the increased capacity of the EBS."
"Amazon EBS needs to improve its user interface for data transactions."
"The solution needs a direct connection to visualization."
"It is also costly and not cheap compared to Internet-based networks."
"The performance could be improved, but all the services in the cloud are improved every week."
"One of the biggest challenges on Azure infrastructure is that sometimes we don't get what we want. Either we have to wait for it or contact support because something is not working for us... It's the system availability that is the difficult point."
"The solution's downside is related to its documentation, which I believe can be difficult to navigate because it is hidden between or within other pages of the product's manual."
"Customer support could be improved, it can be difficult getting appropriate support."
"In terms of improvement, it could use better integration with non-propriety tools. Azure pushes you down a data factory road for integrations but data factory isn't always a scalable, viable solution, particularly when using large numbers ofconnections to IoT solutions."
"The performance of Microsoft Azure Block Storage needs improvement because it's laggy. Microsoft Azure Block Storage also has a lot of limitations on file sizes. The rendering and loading times also need improvement."
