We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Object Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is its flexibility as a solution to suit many different use cases."
"The integration with Cloudfront helps in fetching the static phase and default phases in case our actual service is down."
"It's good for starting up because you only pay for what you use."
"I don't have any problems with the solution. It's issue-free."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"The storage factor and data extraction are faster because we can use Redshift for extraction."
"The solution auto-scales so it is easily scalable."
"Amazon S3 has multiple types of data detection. You can store data on a monthly basis, yearly basis, and long term basis."
"Object Storage's best feature is that it's easy to deploy."
"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."
"With Microsoft Azure Object Storage, they are an open market."
"Versioning is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Object Storage for us is its simplicity and reliability as a storage solution."
"The solution is stable. It works fine for us."
"The reason is that I believe they only offer the corporate interface we use, and perhaps they should consider creating a historical customer interface. I haven't created a virtual machine; instead, I've established a personal GED. This allows me to provide customers with the necessary role functions, enabling them to download files without incurring excessive costs."
"The layout of Microsoft is professional."
"The solution requires you to buy and use Amazon services."
"Amazon S3 could improve by providing some type of storage notification."
"The search option must be enabled in the UI to filter and retrieve files."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"We need the mapping to Windows. That feature is needed in S3. That feature is in the Azure cloud where we can map it like a drive. We can map the cloud storage to the effort driving our Windows PC. But Amazon is not providing that feature for the S3 solution."
"The down side is the web app should be aware of all the features that S3 provides in order to leverage its full potential."
"You do need to get training on the setup process."
"The console could be improved - it's not very user friendly for non-technical guys."
"We've seen some performance issues with Azure Table storage. It's quite slow. The performance surrounding it should be improved to speed things up a bit."
"The initial setup is not easy to understand."
"The cost of support is always expensive."
"I have no complaints about Microsoft Azure Object Storage, but maybe its market size could be more extensive, and its backup speed enhanced."
"We would like it if we did not have to use another encryption solution to encrypt the storage."
"The tool should be a little bit cheaper."
"Its user interface could be better."
"The efficiency depends on various operations, and therefore, it should involve multiple vendor support."
