"Easy for non-tech people to use"
4/5
What do you like best about Azure Storage Explorer?

It's a bit complex to set up, but once it's done, it's easy to use. It just creates another drive in Windows Explorer, so it's easy to use even by employees who are anti-tech. It's also free for nonprofits with a Microsoft grant! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Storage Explorer?

Very difficult to share files - can only be done by I.T. staff. Not possible to share folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Storage Explorer?

The user interface for Microsoft products is extremely user-friendly. If we get stuck on a critical issue, they help us out and fix it quickly. When you read the legal agreement that covers Azure's services, you'll notice that the uptime guarantee you're offered is 99.95 percent. Over the course of a year, that translates to around 4.5 hours of downtime in real-time hours. For the same price as Azure, comparable services from competing brands offer uptime percentages of 98 percent, 95 percent, and occasionally as low as 90 percent.

What do you dislike about Azure Storage Explorer?

Microsoft Azure has 54 regions worldwide, with availability in 140 countries when all announced regions are included. You're all set if you live in the United States, Europe, Australia, India, Japan, or China. Your company can benefit from quick data access. However, if you live in South America, you will only have access to one region, which is known as "Brazil South." Africa has two announced regions, but none are operational as of yet. Canada has only two regions, both of which are located in the country's east. If there isn't a nearby region, speed becomes an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible UX and Useless App!!"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Storage Explorer?

Nothing. This software was supposed to help us access files in our Azure site, but it is honestly one of the worst UX I have ever seen. It looks like I just logged onto AOL in the year 2000. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Storage Explorer?

See above! Nothing good to say. The UX is ugly, complicated, not intuitive. I don't understand why Microsoft has this product if they aren't going to support it past the year 2000. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
