We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 Glacier and NetApp Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and others in Public Cloud Storage Services."Amazon S3 Glacier is a very cheap storage, where we store infrequently used data."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is scalable, flexible, easy to maintain and handle."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is an easy-to-use solution."
"AWS does support the ability for user controlled movement of data between regions for business continuance (BC), high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR)."
"Amazon S3 Glacier can integrate seamlessly with other AWS services."
"The solution is great for storing data you don't usually need access to. It's also well-integrated with Amazon S3."
"AWS Lambda is the most valuable part of the solution because it gives you a code interface for everything."
"We like that the price is cheaper."
"Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better."
"High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running."
"In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."
"There is room for improvement in handling GDPR compliance better. GDPR is about personal data protection and retention. It would be great if S3 Glacier could handle compliance items related to this, especially with upcoming legislation like the California law, which restricts data storage time and allows users to request data deletion."
"Amazon S3 Glacier's data retrieval time is slow compared to other AWS storage services and should be improved."
"The user experience must be improved."
"The product is difficult to use."
"The stability must be improved."
"Amazon S3 Glacier could be more secure."
"Technical support needs improvement. Previously, even though we had premium and enterprise support, the response time would be quicker if we ran into issues, but now it is slowed down. 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 user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface."
"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side."
"I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints."
