4/5
What do you like best about Azure StorSimple?

Some of the key features which make me loyal for this product are, Cost effective, Easy to use, Easy Setup process, Very fast Data uploading and backup, and its has also very attractive user interface that makes performance better. There customer support is also very professional and available all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure StorSimple?

No doubt it has good cloud storage management, but some of the negative points include very slow data restoration, must need to have backup on local system, subscription issues as there is no option for shifting data to another user/account. There should be long term plans as it may cost us lower and more user can use Azure StorSimple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better business"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure StorSimple?

The amount of storage is amazing and this helps organize a lot of data. This is also a very cost effective program that can be used like onedrive but with far more options. Primarily my company would use this as document storage and so things could be organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure StorSimple?

It is difficult to transfer data once it has been added to azure storsimple. So, I would recommend having a backup of all the data used just to save you the hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cheapest solution for bulk storage that is auto-backed up to Cloud."
5/5
What do you like best about Azure StorSimple?

The price for 10s of TBs of data is extremely low.

The setup and startup is simple and straight-forward.

Backup and Restoration are done in just a few clicks with an existing Azure account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure StorSimple?

Restoration can be rather slow from Cloud recovery.

Once a device is setup with an Azure subscription, it cannot be moved to another subscription.

MAC users have issues with folder navigation with file shares on the device - it takes a very long time to browse an unexplored folder for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product, great support"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure StorSimple?

The product works really well and gives us a ton of storage. All of the management is done via the Azure portal and very rarely have we ever had the need to login directly to the controllers. I think the best part of this solution is the fact that you can easily setup backup and retention policies within the Azure interface. They're simple, intuitive, and easy to monitor once they've been set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure StorSimple?

I dislike that you have to have downtime in order to upgrade the firmware on the disks. I think you should be able to just pull the trigger, controller 0 does its upgrade, fails over, and then controller 1 does its upgrade. Currently, the process involves manually plugging your laptop into each controller, running some commands via Powershell, and sitting there for two hours while the upgrade happens. Not fun.
