I find Azure Blob Storage incredibly valuable for our enterprise needs as it integrates seamlessly with our NASUNI system, providing us with a secure and scalable storage solution. The performance of Azure Blob Storage is exceptional; it scales easily to handle large workloads without any deterioration in performance, ensuring fast and consistent access to data. I also appreciate the cost optimization features offered by Azure Blob Storage. By offering different storage tiers, it allows us to choose the most cost-effective option based on our data access frequency, which was a significant factor in our decision to switch from on-premises storage. Additionally, the initial setup was quite straightforward, aided by the portal's guided process for creating storage accounts and containers. These aspects make Azure Blob Storage an essential and efficient solution for our data management needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the cost structure of Azure Blob Storage to be a bit confusing, which makes forecasting difficult for enterprise customers. This is due to the various charges such as storage, transactions, data retrieval, and additional features like geo-redundancy. Additionally, integrating Azure Blob with third-party tools often requires custom scripts, which complicates the process. Handling very large files can sometimes be slower without optimization tools like AzCopy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's mainly used by us for backup repo and AVD UPD FsLogix storage. But we use it to store other data too. It's easy to deploy, resize, connect from external services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is a bit expensive for hot tier. If it can be cheaper, it will be perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is great for all types of work, but in my case I use it mainly for data collection, storage, and managing workspaces of different projects, and it seamlessly integrates all that and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity and features that helps intrgrate different things with ease. We are currently storing csv files mostly. I am using it daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Different Groups we need to create for access control which is I feel needs to be improved a bit. This process of adding users to the existing group can be improved. For a user outside from a group is very difficult sometimes to access files from Blobs. We can add creating date-time in the default view in Storage Explorer, this will help me tracking files properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
