We performed a comparison between AWS Storage Gateway and NetApp Cloud Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."AWS Storage Gateway is used when there's a high requirement for storage and the company has their goal to move to the cloud and they are not comfortable having it in the data centers. They want the data to move to the cloud. We propose storage services that give them flexibility. They don't have to manage their data centers by themselves because it is being managed by Amazon or Microsoft. They do not have to worry about security and vulnerability issues. That is a strategy that companies can find value in and choose a cloud service."
"AWS Storage Gateway has durability."
"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's best feature is its secure storage."
"Generally, I use AWS Storage Gateway to reduce the cost of the S3 and caching."
"We like the flexibility and easy-to-use storage. I'm happy about the response time."
"The solution has low latency."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"It would be better for us if they improved their integration capability."
"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."
"We've had issues with bandwidth in the past, and we don't know where the bottlenecks are. We're not sure if it's on the AWS side or with the clients or the configuration in between. There's no visibility."
"AWS Storage Gateway's cost can be an issue."
"Its interface could be easier to use."
"I cannot say it's perfect."
"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
