We performed a comparison between Amazon EFS (Elastic File System), Amazon S3, and Google Cloud Storage Nearline based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Nasuni, Google and others in Cloud Storage."The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most beneficial feature of the product for data storage stems from the fact that it serves as a shared file storage."
"I appreciate Amazon's extensive range of services, which makes it a favorable choice."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is storage, which provides a personal capacity."
"The most valuable features are VNet, virtual machines, and Elastic Kubernetes Service."
"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."
"Amazon S3 has multiple types of data detection. You can store data on a monthly basis, yearly basis, and long term basis."
"This solution is good at storing historical data and we were using it for other purposes."
"We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive."
"Amazon S3's best features are its reliability and capacity to expand."
"Nearline is highly stable."
"The capacity and space on offer are excellent."
"I find the flexibility in storing documents or data and the ease of retrieval valuable with this solution."
"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."
"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."
"It can isolate files and stop them from corrupting other files."
"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."
"When we faced some issues, the support team took a lot of time to resolve them."
"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 interface seems strange and complicated."
"Its deployment process could be faster while installing the Python package directly into the environment."
"The user activity needs to be more connected."
"It could be better in connecting with Windows Server instances."
"Specifically, when it comes to the file system for the learning system, we encountered performance issues with both Azure and AWS."
"The pricing and licensing are pretty complex."
"The solution's pricing should be modified to automatically expand storage based on prior usage."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"An encryption mechanism and storage optimization could be added."
"Amazon S3 needs to simplify the backup features."
"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."
"Amazon S3 could improve the limitation on how much data can be stored."
"When we need to find the queries there is no user interface, it is the only textual format that is bulky. If we need some data we will use Athena for queries and we will get results. When comparing this solution to others, such as DataDog, they provide a wonderful UI, and user-friendly dashboards, and many other features that this solution is lacking."
"They need a better, more visual, user interface for folders and files."
"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."
"The pricing is quite high."
"They should provide more options or flexibility in terms of pricing."
"The suggestion for improvement primarily revolves around cost efficiency."
"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools."
"The UI could be a little bit more effective."
"The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved."
