We performed a comparison between Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) and Microsoft Azure Object 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 is scalable."
"EFS is flexible."
"We are not that big of a cloud user. We just use it for the storage of our bytes. The most valuable aspect is the storage."
"We can run code and deploy it whenever we want."
"I appreciate Amazon's extensive range of services, which makes it a favorable choice."
"The most beneficial feature of the product for data storage stems from the fact that it serves as a shared file storage."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Its elasticity and flexible pricing are the most valuable. For Amazon EFS, you are charged based on the storage. It is also very fast and stable with a very simple and intuitive interface."
"We can do data queries easily."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure Object Storage is an easy-to-use and stable solution."
"We use the product for storage, documentation, and reporting."
"Technical support is excellent."
"I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks."
"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's easy to use."
"Specifically, when it comes to the file system for the learning system, we encountered performance issues with both Azure and AWS."
"The lack of transparency in the costs attached to the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When we faced some issues, the support team took a lot of time to resolve them."
"The user activity needs to be more connected."
"It could be better in connecting with Windows Server instances."
"Its deployment process could be faster while installing the Python package directly into the environment."
"The product's stability has some shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The interface seems strange and complicated."
"Its user interface could be better."
"The solution can be quite slow."
"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."
"Technical support should be faster at resolving issues for tickets that we create."
"The setup process could always be a bit easier."
"We have experienced a data copy bottleneck with the AZ copy using Microsoft Azure Object Storage, this should improve. It has high CPU consumption. There are a couple of ways to copy files fast, we have tried a few ways. Other than AZ copy, we can use Azure Fluent Storage, which also takes a lot of time to copy files. The AZ copy is faster but it takes a lot of time and CPU operations."
"We would like it if we did not have to use another encryption solution to encrypt the storage."
"I would like to see a reduction in pricing so that they can be more competitive."
