We performed a comparison between Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) and Google Cloud Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can run code and deploy it whenever we want."
"EFS is flexible."
"We are not that big of a cloud user. We just use it for the storage of our bytes. The most valuable aspect is the storage."
"Its elasticity and flexible pricing are the most valuable. For Amazon EFS, you are charged based on the storage. It is also very fast and stable with a very simple and intuitive interface."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, as per the configurations."
"The most beneficial feature of the product for data storage stems from the fact that it serves as a shared file storage."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Google Cloud Storage performs well and it's easy to use."
"Some of the most valuable features are how convenient and easy to use this solution is. It's very user-friendly and meets all my requirements."
"The performance is good."
"It's very practical and reliable."
"One of the most valuable features of the solution is its ease of use."
"Google Cloud Storage's most valuable feature is the native algorithms are available. Some of the algorithms are not available for the use cases that we had in Microsoft Azure. We didn't find any native algorithms and that's the reason why we decided to use the machine learning algorithms in GCP."
"It’s very stable."
"We are mostly doing telephony and generic web services in the telephony."
"It should be simplified. There are people who don't have cloud experience. It should be storage that we are able to just connect to."
"Around 80 percent of the features of Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) are available on Linux and not in Windows, making it a major drawback of the product."
"The product's stability has some shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Its deployment process could be faster while installing the Python package directly into the environment."
"The interface seems strange and complicated."
"The lack of transparency in the costs attached to the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Specifically, when it comes to the file system for the learning system, we encountered performance issues with both Azure and AWS."
"The user activity needs to be more connected."
"They need to get some parts of the program more mature, like the admin management part as well as the monitoring part."
"The solution could improve by adding an automatic removal of duplications feature."
"While the solution seems to be secure, I worry that, with the cloud, there is a chance of hacking. It would be ideal if they could be more transparent about the processes they go through to keep our data secure in the cloud and on their systems."
"I would like the storage to be less expensive."
"An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible."
"I don't find the solution very user-friendly."
"The solution should offer more free storage."
"It is stable, but it can always be more stable."
