BLOB storage is a good solution to keep any kind of data on Azure. It also provides great speed and secure access management without publicly exposing storage keys. You can control user access using storage access signature tokens, that allows you provision of temporary access with desired user rights and without user impersonation. Different redundancy options allows keep your data secure from being lost per natural disasters and different outages, also you can replicate your data to different regions to be used by locally situated workloads, like Web Applications.

You can integrate it with API of your application so when user needs access, application generating SAS token with required access level and redirects users there. Token have limited lifetime, so when it expires it can`t be used to access BLOB Storage anymore.

Security options are great, you can grant and revoke access using powershell, you can even create tokens for temporary access, so you will not need to revoke access, when token expires. Virtual Network integration was added recently, so your storage can be accessed within VNET, without need to send traffic outside of your resource group.

Different pricing tiers allows you to control storage availability, protection and usage according for your needs, and save the costs of unused options. All BLOBs could be accessed directly from Azure Portal or using Azure Storage Explorer. Storage is very fast, much more fast than even SSD drives of your virtual machines. Actually these drives are also BLOBs, so you can move these betwenn machines simple detaching and attaching corresponding BLOBs. BLOB can be at hot and cold tiers, for operational and archive data respectively, so you can get even less costs of keeping unused historical data there. Very low price, even top storage types will be much cheaper than physical storage shelves in on-premise data center. Lost of different possible usages allows flexible planning of your budget for Azure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
