We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage Nearline 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."Amazon S3 is a stable solution."
"Amazon S3 has multiple types of data detection. You can store data on a monthly basis, yearly basis, and long term basis."
"The solution easily connects with the cloud, hardware, or other services to move data."
"The most valuable feature is the storage."
"It's very well secured. We have S3 policies that allow you to write custom policies."
"The solution's peak-up time is good."
"You don't have to specify your clone, availability clone, or your locations. Everything's over there. They have a receipt for the instance where we have to select the exact location of what we are clicking. The S3 storage capacity is high, and the price is reasonable."
"Enables content sharing by multiple users."
"The capacity and space on offer are excellent."
"It provides the necessary support and flexibility to manage data storage effectively, especially during times of variable data flow."
"Google is always introducing new features and tends to have a new release every month."
"The data structure and the types of data that are supported are very good."
"I find the flexibility in storing documents or data and the ease of retrieval valuable with this solution."

"The solution's cost should be improved."
"We would like Amazon to reduce the price of storage."
"The query size in Amazon S3 has room for improvement because it's limited. Querying on Amazon S3 is also expensive with Amazon Athena, so that's another area for improvement in the solution."
"The major challenge is the inability to create more than ten policies."
"One thing would be automatic replication between buckets, some feature like that."
"The product should enable users to create their own shortcuts."
"We have cold storage here, and I think that's useful. When it comes to commercialization, it's cheaper to put data that you won't be using into the data storage. You only use a little bit of the data needed each day for your transition, so you pay less."
"The read drive speed is not as fast as it should be."
"The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved."
"They need a better, more visual, user interface for folders and files."
"The UI could be a little bit more effective."

"The suggestion for improvement primarily revolves around cost efficiency."
"They should provide more options or flexibility in terms of pricing."
"The pricing is quite high."
"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools."
