Amazon S3 Glacier Reviews

We mainly used the solution for file storage and hosting static websites.

Amazon S3 Glacier is a highly stable solution.

The solution’s deployment process is complex and could be improved.

I have been using Amazon S3 Glacier for three to four years.

Amazon S3 Glacier is a very stable solution.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for stability.

We have plans to increase the number of users for Amazon S3 Glacier.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

The solution’s deployment takes around 15 to 20 minutes and can be done in-house. Two to three people are required for the solution's deployment and maintenance, including a developer and a cloud fundamental expert. They need to have a proper understanding of each different environment where the solution needs to be deployed.

We have seen around 300% return on investment with the Amazon S3 Glacier. With Amazon S3 Glacier, you save on infrastructure costs, security compliance costs, and the cost of employing technical staff.

Amazon S3 Glacier is not an expensive solution, and it has a pay-as-you-go pricing model.

The solution helped us to meet our compliance needs. We use Amazon S3 Glacier as a platform as a Service (PaaS). If you have a virtual server, you can create a copy of the solution on an entire virtual machine. In case it goes down or someone messes with the configurations, you could just easily activate the copy.

Amazon S3 Glacier is expensive as far as virtual machines and data storage are concerned. That's why I minimized the data storage as much as possible. Two to three people are required for the solution's deployment and maintenance. They need to have a proper understanding of each different environment where the solution needs to be deployed.

Amazon S3 Glacier works like OneDrive, and it's straightforward to upload or download from it. I would recommend the solution to other users. Hosting static websites is straightforward, but you need a specialist to guide you to deploy dynamic websites on Amazon S3 Glacier.

The solution is easy to manage, and I rate it an eight out of ten for its ease of management.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to store data.

The biggest advantage of the product is that AWS always copies the tool internally. So, we have two or three copies of our data. We’re pretty sure that once it's uploaded, it's available. We can move it to less expensive storage if we don't use it. The way of working is very intelligent. It's very useful.

It's up to us to decide how many copies we need and how frequently we want to make copies. Whether we want a fast or slow disk, cheap or expensive, it’s up to us as architects. We have a lot of choices. It's a product that has been working for a very long time. Most remarks from customers have been dealt with. Everything a customer could want is available.

The tool could be made cheaper. We always need the internet to access the tool. If our network goes down, we cannot access the information.

I have been using the solution for five to six years.

We do not have any issues with the product’s stability. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The tool’s scalability is very good. We have no problems with it. We have 4000 to 5000 users. The solution is used regularly. We have plans to increase the usage in the future.

The product is cloud-based. The setup is very easy. The deployment took ten minutes. It’s very fast. To deploy the product, we must select the type of disk we need, create the interface to our account, and then start using it. It is very straightforward and very easy. The solution is so easy that we do not need any technical people.

The solution costs around 9 cents per data forum per month. The tool is very cheap.

It's a good product. We must remember that it's already been copied two or three times by AWS. We don't need to set up a copy ourselves. It is a big advantage. We can try to separate our data between different regions. So, if one region goes down, we still have our data in another. It’s a good practice.

We can't improve the product without increasing the cost. People can use two or three S3s to make it more secure. However, forcing all users into the same setup is not in AWS's best interest. There’s an advantage in going to the cloud. If an organization needs big security and has well-trained people, they can implement it. However, a very small company that doesn’t need that security won't pay for it.

Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.

Amazon S3 Glacier can be used for storage and RDBMS applications.

Amazon S3 Glacier is worth the money for somebody who is using it.

Overall, I rate Amazon S3 Glacier ten out of ten.

We use the product heavily. All our data is stored in it. We are using Delta Lake, which is built on the product. We have started using the solution for an app project. Some files and storage should not be in the hot area. It should go into Glacier. We are looking into some recycling policies.

We save money with the product. If some file is not frequently accessed, Glacier helps put things there. It is a fantastic product that works as expected.

We had some issues with the product’s stability. A couple of times, we faced outage issues that caused us problems. It happened one or two times.

I am using the solution right now.

The outage issue caused us a little bit of a headache, but it recovered soon, so that's fine.

We have a minimum use for the product, but I have confidence about the scalability of Amazon products. Our organization's infrastructure, DevOps, and database teams use the product.

I have not sought support. I have heard the team talking about support. We are on the enterprise level, so support is good. Up until now, we have been happy.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

The engineers, developers, and infrastructure team ensure the platform is good. We are a big company.

The solution is cost-effective.

I like Amazon very much. We are a billion-dollar company, and we use Amazon heavily. We will use the cycle policies to ensure all the files that are not accessed frequently are put somewhere. We are planning a big change in our organization to reboot our data. 

We will have more data segmentation by using different buckets. When this transition is finished, we will work more toward the different layers of storage. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I use Amazon S3 Glacier to store large files and documents for long-term archival purposes.

I find Amazon S3 Glacier valuable for storing various documents like purchase orders, standard documents, and drawings. It complements my setup where the files are stored in S3, and the main application is hosted on EC2 containers.

In terms of improvement, I would like to see improved storage capacity and enhanced security features for better protection. The advantage of being on the cloud allows for scalability, so increasing storage as needed would be beneficial.

I have been using Amazon S3 Glacier for a year.

I would rate the stability of the solution as a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of the solution as a perfect ten out of ten. We have approximately 50 users of the solution at our company.

The initial setup is straightforward and it takes less than an hour to deploy it. Deploying Amazon S3 Glacier is straightforward since it is pre-integrated within the cloud platform. There is no need for additional integration efforts, and it is user-friendly, and suitable for average maintenance.

It is more expensive compared to on-premises solutions. Amazon S3 Glacier might seem pricier over three years than on-premise servers, but it has perks like lower upfront costs and no need for internal remote engineers. If treated as an operational expense, the advantages often outweigh the long-term cost.

For those looking to start using Amazon AWS, my advice is to consider AWS Lightsail for a quick and easy deployment. Setting up an account is straightforward, and it is a hassle-free solution. Overall, I would rate Amazon S3 Glacier as a nine out of ten.

The solution is used for backup purposes. We had it for some of our customers for their static file needs a couple of years ago.

The product is very straightforward. It is the most feature-rich platform. The solution performs well.

The product’s pricing must be improved. It's one of the most pricey object storage solutions on the market.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

The tool is very stable.

The tool is scalable. In theory, its scalability is limitless. The product is used by systems. We have implemented it for three to four customers a year ago.

The initial setup is very easy. It takes less than an hour to deploy the tool. To deploy it, we create an AWS account on the portal. Then, we create an object storage bucket, give some permissions to it, and make some configurations on the source platform. If it is a code-based integration, we must give an ARN into our coding platform. If it’s going to be a Veeam platform, we must provide the Veeam platform with a username and password in the configurations.

We pay a monthly license fee for the solution. We pay for what we use. Pricing is the biggest disadvantage of the solution.

Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I use Amazon S3 Glacier for cloud automation to deploy basic and dynamic websites. We can create Terraform for resource provisioning using it. It helps us with cross-region verification of resources.

The product automatically replicates objects from a S3 bucket in one region to another bucket in a different region. If an object or bucket is accidentally deleted in one region, the replicated copy in the other region remains intact, helping to prevent data loss.

They should increase the data limit for the free version or reduce the price. Some of the customers of AWS are students who are trying to learn how to use the right services. These particular improvements will be helpful for them.

We have been using Amazon S3 Glacier for four years now.

I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable product. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

The initial setup process is very simple. It takes a few seconds to complete. However, enabling bucket versioning, which helps with data protection by preserving multiple versions of objects, requires a little extra setup time.

Amazon S3 Glacier is expensive.

I advise others to set up cross-region verification for the S3 bucket. It is crucial to check the amount of data they upload. Companies should carefully evaluate their AWS usage based on specific goals and requirements. Different pricing plans and services may be more suitable for different use cases. They should implement bucket policies that require confirmation or additional steps before deleting files, which can prevent accidental data deletions. It saves a lot of data.

I rate Amazon S3 Glacier a ten out of ten.
