Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."The most valuable features are its scalability and Amazon S3 compatibility because we can move back and forth with a hybrid cloud."
"The cost was the main reason we chose to use this solution."
"The tool has S3 capability. Its scalability is excellent. From a security and encryption perspective, the solution supports SSL encryption. It is a seamless solution offering data encryption, quality service, and security encryption."
"It is very durable and that is particularly important."
"It's a cloud service, so it's always up to date."
"The solution provides multiple well integrated services which happen to work together seamlessly and provide flexibility and scalability for use cases all around the industry."
"Microsoft Azure has thousands of services and products."
"We have found the most valuable feature to be the pricing calculator."
"The product is rather stable. We haven't had any issues with it in that sense."
"We've got multiple tools on Azure, which is a very good feature of Azure. Our Palo Alto firewall and other things are hosted in Azure. We're using Sentinel as well, which is a security tool that is being used by our SOC teams. I've also used AWS, and I find Azure to be more Windows-driven. Although Azure is newer as compared to AWS, it is growing fast. Microsoft is working towards the betterment of Azure."
"We are going to use Microsoft Azure to move some on-premise servers into the cloud so that our data can be held there."
"I appreciate that everything is basically shift forward from a security standpoint."
"Cloudian HyperStore needs to incorporate AI and predictive analysis. It would be helpful if the solution could analyze and predict how to manage data better. The end users should not have access to protected documents. They should be able to drop the documents. The capacity management dashboard can be better. We also want two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator as MFA. Hence, the user would access the console not just by logging in with a password and username but with third-party applications as well."
"As it is an S3 solution with the same protocol as the one we have with AWS, having better integration with AWS will be beneficial."
"It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use."
"Azure calculator could be improved, there are issues with login synchronization."
"The initial setup can be improved."
"It is impossible to sell a cloud-based model here in Venezuela because we have strong inflation and most of our clients are immigrating to on-premises solutions."
"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
"The market place can be raised, and the CMT can be more sophisticated to create more opportunities for the end users."
"In a month, there is a plan to increase pricing, which is something we are not looking forward to."
"The support, the cost, the way they have the tiers, this could all be improved."
"They can add more documentation about the solution."
