    In Azure, it is the storage to use, and in my view, the Blob Storage offers more, or finer-grained configuration options, than S3. So my recommendation would be to check in detail what is offered. As the Blob Storage is more or less a Microsoft exclusive product, the "interoperability" is more limited than, for example, with S3. The S3 is more widely adopted, and if you cannot exclude a migration scenario from one cloud provider to another, additional effort is needed.

    Wasabi is just simple and easy to use. It incorprates well with Veeam and other backup solutions. The cost savings alone is enough to make anyone switch. Plus thier reliability has been on great. We havent experienced any down time or issues since converting out cloud backup solution to Wasabi.

    Blob storage is fairly simple, with several different options/settings that can be configured. The file explorer has enhanced its usability. Some areas could be improved, such as providing more details or stats on how many times a file has been accessed. It is an obvious choice if you're already using Azure/Entra.

    Microsoft has improved its customer service standpoint over the years. The ability to chat with an issue, get a callback, schedule a call or work with an architecture team(for free) is a huge plus. I can get mentorship and guidance on where to go with my environment without pushy sales tactics. This is very refreshing. Typically support can get me to where I need to be on the first contact, which is also nice.

    Wasabi is a tiny bit more expensive than Backblaze B2 ($5.99 vs $5 per TB per month), and there are minimum storage size/time requirements (1TB, 3Mo), but Wasabi has free traffic each month up to the size of storage which can save you a lot of money.

    • Data Migration projects from relational sources to Azure Data Lake Storage have given a great ROI, thanks to the less running costs, and High availability
    • Pretty easy to work with in terms of Managing and accessing Data in containerized fashion.
    • Further features like Archival of data which is accessed less frequently can significantly reduce cost

    • The cost savings from previous Cloud backup solution is over 70%
    • Ease of backups - Incorporation with Veeam already in place
    • Our biggest bottleneck for throughput is our on-prem storage offloading to Wasabi. COuldnt be happier with thier network bandwith.
