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.
"This solution is good at storing historical data and we were using it for other purposes."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the global availability, resiliency, and ease of access control."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are its storage capabilities, security, and integration."
"Set up a performance and stress-based test suite to measure the endurance of a web application on Amazon AWS cloud system using S3 as the back-end storage infrastructure."
"We appreciate that this solution is relatively easy to use, straightforward, and reliable."
"Easy to use, very intuitive, fast, and quite flexible."
"The most useful features of Amazon S3 are the intelligent multipart upload."
"An important feature of the Amazon S3's system is that it offers encryption while the files are at rest. This is crucial in ensuring the security of the files being restored and addressing potential security risks. That's what I would emphasize."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"Versioning is a valuable feature."
"I appreciate the scalability of this solution; it is fully scalable and excellent for certain tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the cost value, which is very important for long term retention."
"We use the product for storage, documentation, and reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Object Storage for us is its simplicity and reliability as a storage solution."
"The product has good accessibility."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"It is expensive for storing."
"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."
"The support is better than other cloud providers but sometimes it takes a while to have a resolution to our issues."
"The cost of the solution should be reduced."
"The solution's cost should be improved."
"Technical support could have a faster response time."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"It could maybe use more integration."
"The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."
"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."
"We would like it if we did not have to use another encryption solution to encrypt the storage."
"Improvements should be made as per customer requirements."
"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."
"Our current Azure setup faces challenges with API connectivity, particularly due to misconfigurations related to changes in Azure Graph."
"Object Storage's integration with other backup software could be improved."
"Azure's technical support could be better - they take a long time to respond, and issues get transferred to multiple engineers, so you have to repeat the whole story every time without getting any proper resolution."
