"Easy to use object storage solution that's scalable and stable. Its technical support team is customer-friendly."
"It's user-friendly. We find it to be very easy to use."
"Google Cloud Storage is very convenient to use."
"Specifically, when it comes to the file system for the learning system, we encountered performance issues with both Azure and AWS."
"Its deployment process could be faster while installing the Python package directly into the environment."
"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 lack of transparency in the costs attached to the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It could be better in connecting with Windows Server instances."
"When we faced some issues, the support team took a lot of time to resolve them."
"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."
"The user activity needs to be more connected."
"Amazon S3 could improve by having more frequent updates."
"The free web and DB hosting could be improved. It could be faster when you download huge files from the S3 bucket to your local system. If the S3 bucket availability and performance could be improved, we would consider hosting our database over there."
"The security model can be improved as it is a bit confusing."
"It could maybe use more integration."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"There are some scalability limitations."
"I would also like S3 to have the ability to do dynamic websites without the need to do reconfigurations outside of S3. You should be able to switch on dynamic websites in S3, and then it works. I shouldn't need to go elsewhere within Amazon Web Services to get a dynamic website to work."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve the integrations in a way Microsoft Azure is going about it. For Data Lake integrations, Microsoft Azure has a bunch of native pipelines available. All Google needs to do is add the same set or maybe even improve on the sets that they have. All the analytics, including the Data Lake, would then be able to sit in Google Cloud Storage."
"Google Cloud Storage is scalable, but you have to pay extra."
"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost."
"The cost of additional storage could be cheaper."
"It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage."
"The storage could be improved to manage it a bit better. Google Cloud Storage could be more secure, but the security features are okay."
"Could be improved from a storage perspective and a cost perspective."
"It is stable, but it can always be more stable."
