"Secure, Scalable Storage with Robust Performance"
What do you like best about Azure Blob Storage?

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.

What do you dislike about Azure Blob Storage?

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.

"Azure Blob Storage (The only Claud Storage you need)"
What do you like best about Azure Blob Storage?

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.

What do you dislike about Azure Blob Storage?

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.
