Versatile data storage improves security and supports increasing data volumes
Amazon S3 Glacier offers robust security features and practically infinite storage, where we can store all kinds of media swiftly. It supports various data types, including semi-structured and raw formats. These features facilitate log management and data dumping since the service is versatile enough to handle large volumes of data and provide necessary security.
Eric Popiel - PeerSpot reviewer
Good support, highly scalable, and a great cloud-like experience on-prem
Moving to a consumption model is highly desirable from the client side. everyone seems to be moving in that direction. It provides a cloud-like experience on-prem. It simplified it for the most part. When you look at a lot of the storage and historically how it's been done, you're doing a lot of forecasting, a lot of business justification, a lot of purchasing of hardware, and oversizing for growth, et cetera. The pay-as-you-go model is a much more simplified way of doing things. And it offers more flexibility. The scale capacity improves and simplifies the experience in terms of growth and performance. A lot of clients I work with have performance requirements. I work heavily in financial and healthcare segments and those need 24/7/365 performance with no downtime. GreenLake helped to reduce our operational expenses.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"I find Amazon S3 Glacier valuable for storing various documents like purchase orders, standard documents, and drawings."
"The biggest advantage of the product is that AWS always copies the tool internally."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a highly scalable and available solution."
"The data archive feature is valuable."
"AWS Lambda is the most valuable part of the solution because it gives you a code interface for everything."
"Data retrieval, security, compliance, and storage archiving are the most valuable features of Amazon S3 Glacier."
"The solution’s storage management is good and dynamic. The product is highly stable. The solution is highly scalable. The customer service and support is good. The initial setup is straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"Amazon S3 Glacier offers robust security features and practically infinite storage, where we can store all kinds of media swiftly."
"The uptime, the guarantee from HPE, and NVMe Storage are valuable."
"The ease of use, the reporting, and the setup are excellent."
"Today I get a better deduplication level compared to the previous generations. That means the price per gigabyte or terabyte is lower for me."
"The scalability is very good."
"The unified management experience has been great. That's a huge advantage."
"The feature I like is that I can create a template and apply it to multiple switches. I don't have to do the same task on every switch, and the same goes for access points. It's central management, with the features that come with central management."
"Moving to a consumption model is highly desirable from the client side. everyone seems to be moving in that direction."
 

Cons

"I believe the usage reporting could be simplified, particularly for billing purposes. Overall, I find Amazon S3 Glacier's reporting system somewhat confusing compared to other hyperscalers in the market."
"I would like to see improvements in the transfer rate as it takes quite a long time to retrieve data from Glacier compared to standard S3 storage."

"Their pricing structure is always a big topic. It's so difficult to understand."
"The solution's cost optimization could be improved."
"The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved."

The analytical dashboard feature, like the CloudOps dashboard, should be included in the next release of the Amazon S3 Glacier."
"Although Amazon S3 Glacier is cheap, its data retrieval cost is very high compared to other solutions."
"The solution could improve the integration with sustainability-related services. A lot of clients ask us about that."
"The classifying of the data could be better."
"With support, occasionally, we have a little trouble escalating things."
"The marketplace should improve. There should be a more robust variety of vendors."
