We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Azure NetApp Files based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are VNet, virtual machines, and Elastic Kubernetes Service."
"We appreciate that this solution is relatively easy to use, straightforward, and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the accuracy and the life cycle policies, which help when moving from Amazon S3 to Amazon Glacier."
"S3 is well suited for both big and little data repositories of objects ranging from backup to archive to active video images and much more."
"Amazon S3 is reliable."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are compatibility and reliability."
"It's very well secured. We have S3 policies that allow you to write custom policies."
"Azure NetApp Files has been stable."
"Since we have NetApp's internally, we use the SnapMirror predominantly for this process in the cloud which is beneficial."
"I think the easiest part is, when you do a comparison, it is the throughput versus the cost. And it's much easier to set up."
"I think the easiest part is, when you do a comparison, it is the throughput versus the cost. And it's much easier to set up."
"One aspect of Azure NetApp Files that I truly appreciate is its remarkable performance capabilities."
"Using NetApp Files got us out of a really difficult situation quickly, effectively, and at a reasonable cost."
"It's elastic, so it scales with our demands. We can start small, then with the addition of customer loads, we can expand on-the-fly without the need to reprovision something."
"Its security and ease of use are most valuable."
"Amazon S3 could improve by providing some type of storage notification."
"Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller."
"Technical support could have a faster response time."
"They should improve in the area of metadata curation."
"It is expensive for storing."
"The support is better than other cloud providers but sometimes it takes a while to have a resolution to our issues."
"We would like Amazon to reduce the price of storage."
"The upload speed for data and documents is sometimes slow."
"The solution needs to improve it's ABS environment."
"We would like for the files which are coming in that we can version them. So, if a file is accidentally deleted, there should have a recycle bin option where we can go back, and at least once, clean it up."
"Azure NetApp Files is expensive."
"The pricing definitely needs to be improved."
"We were looking for a clustered solution that has over-complicated things because we had it in AWS, which is Amazon. There was a solution for clustered NetApp. That meant there would be two NetApps that were not clustered because there was no solution for a cluster. We would like there to be an HA cluster solution."
"I have a hunch that storage could be now the most expensive portion of our monthly bill. So I can imagine that, not this year, but next year we will be talking about looking deeper into ways how we can optimize the cost."
"This solution would be improved with more innovation."
"We would like to see more paired regions for the replication."
