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."The product automatically replicates objects from a S3 bucket in one region to another bucket in a different region."
"I like creating buckets where data can be segregated at a high level and then routing the appropriate data to each designated bucket. In terms of value, I would say that the tool gets the job done in a simpler manner."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is scalable, flexible, easy to maintain and handle."
"I find Amazon S3 Glacier valuable for storing various documents like purchase orders, standard documents, and drawings."
"AWS Lambda is the most valuable part of the solution because it gives you a code interface for everything."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We get free credits from Amazon, and we like the overall stability. We haven't had to rely heavily on their customer success teams, which is a good sign."
"The product is easy to use."
"It's a stable product."
"The product is a reliable cloud solution."
"It was quick to synchronize back from Azure to the on-premise server."
"The product can integrate with all platforms. My team also does data visualization, and Power BI can directly connect with those nodes. We can very conveniently connect with multiple tools for our database. The benefit here is that by utilizing the same storage application, my application is linked with their application through the same server. This setup provides real analytics and data for a holistic purpose, which is advantageous."
"My client had zero data loss while using the solution for backups and file security."
"The solution can scale to fit any requirement."
"It is a good service for file storage."
"We have not explored the desktop performance analysis of the file storage, but the user interface, API, and the response that we receive over the file storage are very good. We have a lot of customers that connect to the client-side, click the images, and upload them. The beauty of the solution is that we can mount the file storage into a critical server as well as an external drive. The speed that we receive with the images is pretty good."
"A couple of times, we faced outage issues that caused us problems."
"The product’s pricing must be improved."
"The response times could be faster. When you are with Amazon and use Glacier, you expect a response time between four to seven hours to retrieve the data."
"The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved."
"The tool could be made cheaper."
"The stability must be improved."
"Their pricing structure is always a big topic. It's so difficult to understand."
"The product takes more time to secure data when the bandwidth is low."
"The provider needs to collect more information about the products."
"Lacks integration with other platforms."
"The solution should support all the legacy storage systems."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"It would be good if they added some features that make the solution easier to access for everyone."
"It’s a challenge to find the right support person."
"It would be helpful if we could remove data that we don't frequently access to reduce the cost of the storage."
"It's a bit complex to set up. Other than that, there is nothing to improve."
