We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 Glacier and Nutanix Unified Storage 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."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."
"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."
"It is the most feature-rich platform."
"The pricing is low, and it's dedicated to archiving is valuable to us."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a highly stable solution."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a scalable and easy-to-manage solution with good read-write capability."
"The product automatically replicates objects from a S3 bucket in one region to another bucket in a different region."
"Amazon S3 Glacier can integrate seamlessly with other AWS services."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"The user experience must be improved."
"Amazon S3 Glacier could be more secure."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a cheaper tool if you're running it on-prem, but it is expensive if deployed on the cloud."
"The solution's cost optimization could be improved."
"The solution’s deployment process is complex and could be improved."
"Although Amazon S3 Glacier is cheap, its data retrieval cost is very high compared to other solutions."
"I would like to see improved storage capacity and enhanced security features for better protection."
"The solution's pricing is too expensive and could be improved."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
