We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Object Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to manage and easy to understand."
"The scalability of Amazon S3 is good."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon S3 is its versioning feature. I also like that you can create pre-signed URLs on the solution."
"The most valuable features are VNet, virtual machines, and Elastic Kubernetes Service."
"The most valuable features are unlimited storage, scalability, and performance."
"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 compatibility and reliability."
"I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks."
"The solution is stable. It works fine for us."
"It is easy to use, and we use it for backup and remote desktop access. It is working fine."
"This solution is easy to use, and performance-wise it is better than others."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"The product has good accessibility."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Object Storage is that it is on the cloud."
"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."
"The down side is the web app should be aware of all the features that S3 provides in order to leverage its full potential."
"An encryption mechanism and storage optimization could be added."
"We would like some improvement in the cost of storage via this solution, as it currently has a very high price point."
"The tool needs to improve its flexibility in support."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"You need to fully understand the solution's best practices to get the most out of its security features."
"The search option must be enabled in the UI to filter and retrieve files."
"I would also like S3 to have the ability to do dynamic websites without the need to do reconfigurations outside of S3. You should be able to switch on dynamic websites in S3, and then it works. I shouldn't need to go elsewhere within Amazon Web Services to get a dynamic website to work."
"If we look at the different versions of that ADLS, it really does not have a hierarchical storage mechanism."
"Uploading files from the UI has presented some issues. When editing work and once you delete a file, it takes some time to recreate the same file."
"The solution's stability should be improved."
"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."
"They could improve AI and ML-based modules. They should add more modules based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Pricing is a little bit tricky with Microsoft Azure. They do provide the estimates, but it is not easy to guess the exact amount that we will be billed after a month or two because it is based on usage. This is a little confusing."
"Technical support should be a little bit faster."
"We're still testing the solution. It's too early to make any suggestions as to what may be missing."
"I have no complaints about Microsoft Azure Object Storage, but maybe its market size could be more extensive, and its backup speed enhanced."
