    I would highly recommend Microsoft Fabric, especially for medium to large enterprises aiming to build a robust, scalable, and secure data analytics platform. It effectively unifies various data workloads, streamlining data integration, engineering, and particularly enhancing our ability to create and share reliable Power BI dashboards. The deep integration with Azure AD for features like Row-Level Security is a significant advantage for data governance.

    Scality
    The team in charge of implementing Scality has to be full stack in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. However, you have to think very carefully about the balance between servers and disks, perhaps adopting smaller fully populated servers instead of large semi-populated servers, which would mean that over time our disk updates will not have a fully useful life.

    • The overall packaging is not very good. I think it could be more efficient for installation.
    • There are many components in storage servers. This can generally be complex to understand, you have to be patient.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    I've rated Microsoft Fabric's overall usability as a 4, primarily due to its extensive and multifaceted feature set, which can make it challenging to navigate and determine the optimal functionality for a given task.While the breadth of capabilities is a core strength for large enterprises, it often leads to a sense of being "lost" or overwhelmed for teams like ours that do not have highly formalized roles or dedicated specialists for each Fabric "experience" (e.g., Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, Data Science).

    As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

    Microsoft Fabric integrates data ingestion, engineering, warehousing, and Power BI visualization into one cohesive environment. This "one-stop shop" approach dramatically reduces complexity, minimizes operational overhead, and eliminates the need to integrate disparate tools and manage data across multiple systems. It provides superior scalability for large datasets, supports open data formats, and offers a much broader suite of data engineering and data science capabilities.In essence, Fabric's integrated ecosystem and streamlined operational management were key differentiators, providing a more cohesive, scalable, and efficient solution for our evolving data strategy than combining specialized tools.

    Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data thief. This is something that can be found with other vendors but at a fraction of the same cost. Having this kind of performance, availability and redundancy at the cost that Scality provides has made a large difference to our organization.

    • Keeping sensitive customer data secure is a must for our organization and Scality has great features to make this happen.
    • We replaced a single SAN with a Scality ring and found performance to improve as we store more and more customer data.
    • Being able to lose various portions of our Scality ring and allow it to continue to service customers while maintaining high performance has been key to our business.
