Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Nasuni, Google and others in Cloud Storage."We can run code and deploy it whenever we want."
"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."
"EFS is flexible."
"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 solution is scalable."
"I appreciate Amazon's extensive range of services, which makes it a favorable choice."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most beneficial feature of the product for data storage stems from the fact that it serves as a shared file storage."
"The solution is great for storing data you don't usually need access to. It's also well-integrated with Amazon S3."
"The main advantage of Glacier is its low cost. It is incredibly cheaper than other storage options, especially for objects you don't access frequently. Glacier would add value if you have a staging area for objects you only need to access occasionally. Since we have data in terabytes between S3 buckets, we can significantly reduce our storage and cost footprint by using Glacier."
"The tool is simple to use and not very expensive."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a highly scalable and available solution."
"AWS Lambda is the most valuable part of the solution because it gives you a code interface for everything."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is secure."
"We use the solution for migration."
"Nearline is highly stable."
"Google is always introducing new features and tends to have a new release every month."
"It can isolate files and stop them from corrupting other files."
"It provides the necessary support and flexibility to manage data storage effectively, especially during times of variable data flow."
"The most valuable feature of Nearline is the access. It's helpful to move data that is generated once a month, such as salary information, to Nearline."
"I find the flexibility in storing documents or data and the ease of retrieval valuable with this solution."
"The data structure and the types of data that are supported are very good."
"The capacity and space on offer are excellent."
"The interface seems strange and complicated."
"The user activity needs to be more connected."
"Its deployment process could be faster while installing the Python package directly into the environment."
"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."
"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."
"Specifically, when it comes to the file system for the learning system, we encountered performance issues with both Azure and AWS."
"The lack of transparency in the costs attached to the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved."
"The learning curve is very high."
"The product’s pricing must be improved."
"Their pricing structure is always a big topic. It's so difficult to understand."
"The solution's cost optimization could be improved."
"The solution's pricing is too expensive and could be improved."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. There is room for improvement in costs."
"A couple of times, we faced outage issues that caused us problems."
"They need a better, more visual, user interface for folders and files."
"The suggestion for improvement primarily revolves around cost efficiency."
"The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved."
"The solution needs to offer better System Information and Event Management (SEIM). I'd like to discover how we could implement something like that within Google's cloud."
"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools."
"The UI could be a little bit more effective."
"The pricing is quite high."
"They should provide more options or flexibility in terms of pricing."
