## Reviews

> **Verified Reviewer** | *24 December 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I most liked about this software is wide storage for linked application and writing to the logs file directly which help to track the record in safer way.
> 
> **Cons**: The feature I least used is serving images directly to the browser which I fell of low importance , other things are fine
> 
> Overall experience is smooth and hassle free as per of cloud , I personally used for VM and will continue to use.

### "Best Solution to manage Frequently/In-frequently Data accessment" — 5.0/5

> **Oluwaseun** | *14 November 2022* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the fact that I can configure how my data is being accessed to save cost. These are the HOT COLD and ARCHIVE options.

### "Azure Blob storage review" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 October 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Most I liked about this service is that without moving data anywhere else we can run analytics on data there itself another thing is for security there are many features using which we can make sure data never gets on wrong hands.
> 
> **Cons**: Its bit costly according to me .As there are other services also for data storage this one seems costly whereas other cloud providers are much cheaper with wide geographical regions all over the world.
> 
> My overall experience with this product was quite good i mean its not completely bad its usable and convenient for usage although its bit costly compared to another service.

### "Le storage de fichier efficace de Microsoft" — 5.0/5

> **Vincent** | *13 December 2023* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Totalement intégré à l'environnement Microsoft, il est facile intégrable à une application .NET et bien d'autres. Le stockage est performant (cold ou hot storage) et le coût mesuré.
> 
> **Cons**: Comme tout élément dans le cloud, il n'est pas forcément évident de savoir précisément le coût réel mais les prix restent mesurés pour un tel produit.
> 
> Azure Blob Storage est efficace et simple. Il répond au besoin de stockage de fichiers que l'on peut avoir lors de développement web.

### "If you have lots of data then store it virtually with Azure Blob" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *2 March 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Azure blob storage is the best storage service on cloud which is very good in scaling up or down, also being flexible at the same time. Any amount of data can be stored without any storage restrictions. Physical storage can be tedious to manage but this is all virtual so not much to worry about the underlying hardware too. Also keeps the data secured with azure's security features built-in.
> 
> **Cons**: Considering the point that it can take quite some time to integrate blob with other systems because there can be a lot of connections and configurations to do. Also, accessing data when it is huge can be a bit slower at times.
> 
> The experience has been good with archiving data, taking it as a part of our pipelines and also fast retrieval/accessing of data with client side data encryption as part of the safety.
