Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage Gateways solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that it requires less utilization of space, compared to storing directly to the database of the system. It offers a unique way of doing things."
"The stability is probably the most valuable aspect of the product."
"AWS Storage Gateway has durability."
"We like the flexibility and easy-to-use storage. I'm happy about the response time."
"It's a cloud storage solution, which makes it quite flexible. If you have one terabyte today and need ten tomorrow, it's not a problem."
"Generally, I use AWS Storage Gateway to reduce the cost of the S3 and caching."
"AWS Storage Gateway's best feature is its secure storage."
"The solution has low latency."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"It's so easy to work with."
"A data pipeline tool would be more beneficial for data authentication and DataOps."
"AWS Storage Gateway's cost can be an issue."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"The solution's setup is not easy and takes time to complete."
"AWS Storage Gateway could improve by having different kinds of storage. For example, allowing all kinds of data, whether it's images or structure, not structure data. This would be great."
"I cannot say it's perfect."
"Its interface could be easier to use."
"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"I would like to see more web support."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
