"Easy to use, very intuitive, fast, and quite flexible."
"The solution's peak-up time is good."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the performance and hibernation data options. Additionally, there is a feature that provides faster website access that is helpful."

"The users have nothing to worry about as the solution is well established."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Object Storage for us is its simplicity and reliability as a storage solution."

"Technical support is excellent."
"Maybe they need to expand their range of physical locations."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"Amazon S3 could improve the load balancers. They are very basic compared to other solutions in the industry, such as F5. It has to be able to be analyzed up to a certain level."
"A feature that should be included is to find and provide a HIPPA compliant solution for the Presigned URL."
"Maybe it could be a bit cheaper."
"We have cold storage here, and I think that's useful. When it comes to commercialization, it's cheaper to put data that you won't be using into the data storage. You only use a little bit of the data needed each day for your transition, so you pay less."
"The only pain point is migrating the life cycle policy because if someone is a newbie, they cannot easily create the life cycle policy."
"Technical support could have a faster response time."
"Its user interface could be better."
"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."
"The solution's stability should be improved."
"Technical support should be faster at resolving issues for tickets that we create."
"We experienced an outage issue recently, which affected its overall stability and reliability."
"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"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're still testing the solution. It's too early to make any suggestions as to what may be missing."
