Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Google, Nasuni and others in Cloud Storage."The solution's technical support is good."
"EFS is flexible."
"We can run code and deploy it whenever we want."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I appreciate Amazon's extensive range of services, which makes it a favorable choice."
"The solution is scalable."
"We are not that big of a cloud user. We just use it for the storage of our bytes. The most valuable aspect is the storage."
"Its elasticity and flexible pricing are the most valuable. For Amazon EFS, you are charged based on the storage. It is also very fast and stable with a very simple and intuitive interface."
"Amazon S3 is very flexible and provides high storage."
"We can store incremental data and get high availability and fault tolerance."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is the data transfer acceleration because it can enable fast, easy, and secure data transfer."
"Amazon S3 is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are VNet, virtual machines, and Elastic Kubernetes Service."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is storage, which provides a personal capacity."
"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."
"We have cold storage here, and I think that's useful. When it comes to commercialization, it's cheaper to put data that you won't be using into the data storage. You only use a little bit of the data needed each day for your transition, so you pay less."
"Easy to use object storage solution that's scalable and stable. Its technical support team is customer-friendly."
"The best feature is ease of use."
"Google Cloud Storage is very convenient to use."
"Everything I store in the solution is available on all of my devices."
"The solution is stable and has good performance."
"Google Cloud Storage performs well and it's easy to use."
"Access your files from anywhere, no installation necessary"
"Google Cloud Storage's most valuable features are that it's easy to use and navigate, and it's not expensive."
"The user activity needs to be more connected."
"The lack of transparency in the costs attached to the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The interface seems strange and complicated."
"Around 80 percent of the features of Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) are available on Linux and not in Windows, making it a major drawback of the product."
"It could be better in connecting with Windows Server instances."
"It should be simplified. There are people who don't have cloud experience. It should be storage that we are able to just connect to."
"Specifically, when it comes to the file system for the learning system, we encountered performance issues with both Azure and AWS."
"When we faced some issues, the support team took a lot of time to resolve them."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"I would like to see an easier setup that doesn't require as much training."
"Amazon S3 should have more frequent updates."
"An encryption mechanism and storage optimization could be added."
"The solution's pricing should be modified to automatically expand storage based on prior usage."
"The down side is the web app should be aware of all the features that S3 provides in order to leverage its full potential."
"Amazon S3 could improve the load balancers. They are very basic compared to other solutions in the industry, such as F5. It has to be able to be analyzed up to a certain level."
"They could always increase object storage ability."
"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost."
"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."
"The security of this solution and its performance could still be improved."
"The solution should improve its security and accountability."
"They need to get some parts of the program more mature, like the admin management part as well as the monitoring part."
"There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing."
"I would like the storage to be less expensive."
"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."
