What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure Storage?

Microsoft Azure Storage is not optimized for analytics use cases, and thus the files read from Azure Storage for analytics can be very slow while processed. It is recommended to copy the files to an analytics optimized storage like ADLS, before processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
