"Great for storing all types of data."
"We can store incremental data and get high availability and fault tolerance."
"Amazon S3 is easily accessible, fast and effective. Its performance is good."
"This solution is good at storing historical data and we were using it for other purposes."
"Easy to use, very intuitive, fast, and quite flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are compatibility and reliability."
"From a stability standpoint, the solution is excellent. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Using this solution has improved the security of our data."
"The most valuable features of Google Cloud Storage are flexibility and sustainability."
"The solution is flexible and very user-friendly."
"Google Cloud Storage is fast, and it's scalable."
"It's very practical and reliable."
"Google Cloud Storage is easy to use, and it's free. I also enjoy the speed I am able to share with family across the globe. The storage is synced."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The solution could improve by having a simpler way to have the detail size of a file in the CLI to be read or understood easier. Today, it's a little raw in the way the details are presented. You have to make some scripts and some modifications to be able to see the information properly of the size of a given bucket or the size of a file."
"The only pain point is migrating the life cycle policy because if someone is a newbie, they cannot easily create the life cycle policy."
"The cost of the solution should be reduced."
"In the next release, I think that it would be good to have wizards that would update into specific applications, for example, a one-touch configuration in Pagemaker."
"The pricing and licensing are pretty complex."
"The installation could be more straightforward for inexperienced users."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"One thing would be automatic replication between buckets, some feature like that."
"What would make Google Cloud Storage better is if it provided more storage."
"The solution could improve by adding an automatic removal of duplications feature."
"The product's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The user experience needs to be simplified."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost."
"An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible."
"I would prefer more support for alternative operating systems like DSD. The performance could be better because sometimes there are glitches. The price could be better."
