"It is a very comprehensive tool."
"The tool is simple to use and not very expensive."
"The product automatically replicates objects from a S3 bucket in one region to another bucket in a different region."
"The biggest advantage of the product is that AWS always copies the tool internally."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is great for storing data you don't usually need access to. It's also well-integrated with Amazon S3."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a very cheap storage, where we store infrequently used data."
"One can easily scale with this program."
"Its integration is very easy."
"It is easy to integrate with applications."
"The product offers hierarchical storage and we like the main space storage with business."
"The solution is easy to purchase and is a Microsoft product, making procurement straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"It can scale."
"The solution has a valuable gearing feature."
"The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved."
"Their pricing structure is always a big topic. It's so difficult to understand."
"A couple of times, we faced outage issues that caused us problems."
"I would like to see improved storage capacity and enhanced security features for better protection."
"The product takes more time to secure data when the bandwidth is low."
"I believe the usage reporting could be simplified, particularly for billing purposes. Overall, I find Amazon S3 Glacier's reporting system somewhat confusing compared to other hyperscalers in the market."
"The solution's cloud storage is very expensive, and users may not be able to afford cloud storage."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. There is room for improvement in costs."
"The solution could have better archival policies and localization of data."
"The performance could be improved, but all the services in the cloud are improved every week."
"There are capacity limitations that could be expanded."
"In terms of improvement, it could use better integration with non-propriety tools. Azure pushes you down a data factory road for integrations but data factory isn't always a scalable, viable solution, particularly when using large numbers ofconnections to IoT solutions."
"One thing that needs improvement is authentication. They need to improve the integrated Azure Active Directory for the enterprise level. For single sign-on, we can try any authentication or portal for Block Azure Function AKS. For example, if you're an administrator or user contributor, you will generate a token, then your internal middleware connects to any Azure Cloud service. You need to generate different credentials for each service. We cannot use the same token."
"The solution needs a direct connection to visualization."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement. Microsoft Azure Block Storage is priced higher than alternative solutions."
"Microsoft Azure Block Storage can improve the configuration to be more user-friendly."
