Cons
"The pricing of the solution can be improved.""If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism.""We're still testing the solution. It's too early to make any suggestions as to what may be missing.""The initial setup could be more straightforward. It would be best if you had a little bit of training or an understanding of the concepts. It's important because if you don't do that, then you might end up not following the best practices. Then you will learn it the hard way by making mistakes and then know that you shouldn't have done this or that. It's better to attend workshops and take a hands-on approach.""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.""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.""A more comprehensive training option is needed.""The initial setup is not easy to understand."

"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity.""The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."

  • "The cost of this solution is high compared to others, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
