We performed a comparison between Azure NetApp Files and Google Cloud Storage 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 of the solution is replication to another region and the performance. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward."
"I like the SnapMirror feature in Azure NetApp Files. It helps me create backups with snapshots and makes data recovery and compression."
"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."
"The critical features of this solution are SnapMirror for replication, data protection, and SnapLock."
"The availability is good, meaning downtime or network issues rarely occur. The system also offers flexibility, allowing for increases in data volume, IOPS, and other capabilities without requiring downtime, which is a strong point. Based on the money spent, we can get performance improvements and high availability."
"It has saved a lot of time. Because in the older, conventional hardware system, they need to raise a ticket to go to storage engineering, then storage engineering would increased the size. Now, it's dynamic. You don't have to do anything. This improved the time by more than 50 percent."
"Using NetApp Files got us out of a really difficult situation quickly, effectively, and at a reasonable cost."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is its ease of use. It fits well with our business use."
"Using this solution has improved the security of our data."
"The responses from the technical team are fast...It is a stable product...We do have plans to increase the number of users since it is a scalable product."
"There's no implementation process."
"Access your files from anywhere, no installation necessary"
"I have more than enough personal storage and have had no security issues."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The solution is very flexible."
"The pricing definitely needs to be improved."
"I would like to see multi-zone redundancy so that I don't have to worry about it. I just back up my data to that one SMB share and I know that it's replicated to a different region."
"We would like to see more paired regions for the replication."
"Azure NetApp Files is expensive."
"Reserved Instances for Azure NetApp Files would improve more use cases, making them more valuable in Azure as the cost would be reduced."
"The solution needs to improve it's ABS environment."
"The deployment process is somewhat complex compared to other storage solutions."
"We would like to have backup functionality built-in so that we don't run into the issue where the replication process makes a copy of the corrupted data."
"Google Cloud Storage can improve by having better integration and migration tools."
"I am not sure about the reliability of the solution."
"It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage."
"The security of this solution and its performance could still be improved."
"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution should have two factor authentication."
"The cost of additional storage could be cheaper."
