What differentiates Azure Blob Storage from other similar products?
Azure Blob Storage stands out from similar object storage solutions thanks to its deep integration with Microsoft services, flexible storage tiers, and enterprise-grade management tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The seamless integration within the Microsoft ecosystem—allowing effortless use alongside tools like Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Functions, and Power Automate—makes it exceptionally easy to build unified, end-to-end data solutions.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The limited and unintuitive user interface—especially in Azure Storage Explorer—makes navigating, managing access, and searching within blob containers cumbersome and inefficient for non-expert users, often requiring custom tools or workarounds.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Leverage Microsoft Entra ID and role-based access control to manage access securely and avoid using potentially insecure shared keys
