We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Data Box and Palantir Foundry based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Migration Appliances solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We're looking at this solution because it's part of an overall tool suite, so the integration piece is what's striking our interest in it."
"The Azure Data Box saves us a great deal of time when migrating data to Azure."
"It is a good fit with ease of integration there."
"It provides secure transfer of large amounts of data."
"One valuable aspect is the support we receive from Microsoft Azure vendors."
"The solution has allowed the organization to safely transfer and store into the cloud easily and quickly large amounts of data that can then be readily accessed."
"We use the solution for integration purposes."
"Microsoft Azure Data Box has much more usability than other tools like it. It is very intuitive."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The data lineage is great."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"It's scalable."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Great features available in one tool."
"I am not confident in this device's ability to perform a network backup in our data center."
"It's a single node solution. If it can be spread out across more of the enterprise and have more segregation in its virtual environment, that would be good."
"Deployment can be a major challenge. It's important to understand the organization's policies, the data store where the data will be going, the necessary permissions, and the specific type of Data Box being used. We also need to consider the encryption keys that need to be utilized."
"The device must be transported off-site before the data is uploaded into the Microsoft Azure Cloud."
"When it comes to old applications, they may not be the most suitable environment for Microsoft's current focus on Azure and the latest technologies. It would be helpful if Microsoft could provide some guidelines or recommendations for transitioning from old to new."
"The solution is straightforward with simple application migration, but plug-and-play AI is not involved simultaneously."
"For me it doesn't work well. ... If you are a non-Microsoft shop, to use Microsoft Azure Data Box, you would need to integrate it with your other vendors, and whether or not that will be possible will depend on the platform or platforms that host them."
"On an enterprise level, a per-user license for more than 1,000 users is very costly."
"The workflow could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
