Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable product since it is a cloud solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It is very easy to use SSTP and some traditional code to move the data into a database because we can easily use the permissions and we don't have any integration or conversion issues.""I like that we can copy and download data using Azure. It's not just for file storage; we can also use it for large data sets or to host static web applications.""It was quick to synchronize back from Azure to the on-premise server.""I like that Microsoft Azure File Storage works fine and is quick to deploy. It's also easy to connect to it, particularly when connecting it with my on-premise file servers.""The initial setup is fairly easy.""Very user-friendly and intuitive.""This solution supports all file formats."

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security.""The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."

Cons
"One thing that Azure File Storage could help us with is some kind of impact assessment. When we talk to some of our larger customers who have between 500 and 1,000 applications, we normally do an assessment of all these applications and then tell them which ones are ready to be lifted and shifted, and which ones need to re-architected. It would really help if Azure File Storage could come up with a better way to give estimations of the total investment required, including all costs incurred during the migration.""It's a bit complex to set up. Other than that, there is nothing to improve.""The support could improve.""They should make the solution more user-friendly.""The provider needs to collect more information about the products.""Importing and exporting data needs to have a bit more documentation.""The solution is not user-friendly.""Maybe Microsoft can make it more economical because it is a costly affair."

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For one terabyte of data, we are spending about 150 Euro every month."
  • "One of the major benefits for AWS is that they have a very large customer representative base where clients can be picked from, they offer large discounts and credit. We were not able to receive the same kind of offers from Microsoft Azure File Storage. We tried to approach Azure while hiring for our disaster recovery discussion, but we didn't receive anything from Azure."
  • "The price is comparable to other competitive solutions."
  • "There are fewer hidden costs involved compared to other solutions, and when our customer is already a Microsoft partner, they typically have access to more affordable fees."
  • "Microsoft Azure File Storage has a reasonable price."
  • "I give the pricing of the solution a seven out of ten."
  • "One needs to pay according to the storage they plan to use in the solution. The payments are to be made yearly. It is usually monthly, but we opted for yearly subscriptions in our company."
  • "Microsoft Azure File Storage is expensive."
