Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google and others in Public Cloud Storage Services."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is scalable, flexible, easy to maintain and handle."
"It is a very comprehensive tool."
"The solution is great for storing data you don't usually need access to. It's also well-integrated with Amazon S3."
"We like that the price is cheaper."
"The main advantage of Glacier is its low cost. It is incredibly cheaper than other storage options, especially for objects you don't access frequently. Glacier would add value if you have a staging area for objects you only need to access occasionally. Since we have data in terabytes between S3 buckets, we can significantly reduce our storage and cost footprint by using Glacier."
"I like creating buckets where data can be segregated at a high level and then routing the appropriate data to each designated bucket. In terms of value, I would say that the tool gets the job done in a simpler manner."
"Amazon S3 Glacier can integrate seamlessly with other AWS services."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."
"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."
"The learning curve is very high."
"There is room for improvement in handling GDPR compliance better. GDPR is about personal data protection and retention. It would be great if S3 Glacier could handle compliance items related to this, especially with upcoming legislation like the California law, which restricts data storage time and allows users to request data deletion."
"Although Amazon S3 Glacier is cheap, its data retrieval cost is very high compared to other solutions."
"The solution’s deployment process is complex and could be improved."
"I believe the usage reporting could be simplified, particularly for billing purposes. Overall, I find Amazon S3 Glacier's reporting system somewhat confusing compared to other hyperscalers in the market."
"The user experience must be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement. Previously, even though we had premium and enterprise support, the response time would be quicker if we ran into issues, but now it is slowed down. The analytical dashboard feature, like the CloudOps dashboard, should be included in the next release of the Amazon S3 Glacier."
"The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
