Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage Gateways solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We like the flexibility and easy-to-use storage. I'm happy about the response time."
"The stability is probably the most valuable aspect of the product."
"AWS Storage Gateway's best feature is its secure storage."
"It's a cloud storage solution, which makes it quite flexible. If you have one terabyte today and need ten tomorrow, it's not a problem."
"Generally, I use AWS Storage Gateway to reduce the cost of the S3 and caching."
"AWS Storage Gateway is used when there's a high requirement for storage and the company has their goal to move to the cloud and they are not comfortable having it in the data centers. They want the data to move to the cloud. We propose storage services that give them flexibility. They don't have to manage their data centers by themselves because it is being managed by Amazon or Microsoft. They do not have to worry about security and vulnerability issues. That is a strategy that companies can find value in and choose a cloud service."
"AWS Storage Gateway has durability."
"The most valuable feature is that it requires less utilization of space, compared to storing directly to the database of the system. It offers a unique way of doing things."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"It's so easy to work with."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"I cannot say it's perfect."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"The solution's setup is not easy and takes time to complete."
"We've had issues with bandwidth in the past, and we don't know where the bottlenecks are. We're not sure if it's on the AWS side or with the clients or the configuration in between. There's no visibility."
"Its interface could be easier to use."
"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"It would be better for us if they improved their integration capability."
"AWS Storage Gateway could improve by having different kinds of storage. For example, allowing all kinds of data, whether it's images or structure, not structure data. This would be great."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"I would like to see more web support."
