More Amazon S3 Glacier Pros →

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security.""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."

Cons
"The product needs to improve cloud security.""They should increase the data limit for the free version or reduce the price.""Amazon S3 Glacier could be more secure.""Amazon S3 Glacier's data retrieval time is slow compared to other AWS storage services and should be improved.""The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved.""The learning curve is very high.""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 deployment process is complex and could be improved."

More Amazon S3 Glacier Cons →

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security.""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."
