We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Google Cloud 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 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 users have nothing to worry about as the solution is well established."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the performance and hibernation data options. Additionally, there is a feature that provides faster website access that is helpful."
"Amazon S3 is very flexible and provides high storage."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the global availability, resiliency, and ease of access control."
"The most valuable feature is the storage."
"The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. It's very straightforward and easy to implement."
"I've also used Azure's tool, and S3 is far more stable I haven't seen the same issues on AWS that I'm having on Azure. Amazon CloudFront is way faster. The websites are loading way faster than when you do it on Azure CDN."
"From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic."
"The combination of Firebase features, including storage, the Firebase database, and authentication, has been the most valuable. Firebase offers Google authentication, which is convenient for our needs. Additionally, Firebase provides email authentication and Gmail authentication, which are easy to set up and integrate into our applications."
"It's simple to use."
"Their technical support is good and very professional."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the shared folder."
"It’s very stable."
"Google Cloud Storage's most valuable feature is the native algorithms are available. Some of the algorithms are not available for the use cases that we had in Microsoft Azure. We didn't find any native algorithms and that's the reason why we decided to use the machine learning algorithms in GCP."
"I have more than enough personal storage and have had no security issues."
"Amazon S3 could improve by being more secure."
"There are some scalability limitations."
"I would like to see an easier setup that doesn't require as much training."
"Amazon S3 could improve the performance reports. It would be a benefit if they were more comprehensive."
"If a certain resource is left unchecked, you can easily use a lot of it and drive up costs."
"The only pain point is migrating the life cycle policy because if someone is a newbie, they cannot easily create the life cycle policy."
"We would like to see improvement in the ability to moves files within this solution. At present the process is not straightforward, and requires us to download files to our micro service service before then uploading into the solution. In addition, the transfer bit rate for the process is very slow."
"The cost of the solution should be reduced."
"It is stable, but it can always be more stable."
"Could be improved from a storage perspective and a cost perspective."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly."
"It could be made even more secure and allow for more storage."
"I would also like to be able to use my own tools and packages within this solution and also have a tool to visualize the data with graphics."
"The solution only allows so much space for free."
"My use case of this solution is fairly minimal. However, I am concerned about privacy on a cloud platform. Many people are not migrating to a cloud service because they are still concerned about putting data in cloud-based storage."
"An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible."
