More Amazon S3 Glacier Pros →

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security.""The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use.""One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."

Cons
"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.""They should increase the data limit for the free version or reduce the price.""I am unsure if the product provides good integration capabilities. From an improvement perspective, I want the tool to provide easier integration features.""The product’s pricing must be improved.""The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved.""Amazon S3 Glacier is a cheaper tool if you're running it on-prem, but it is expensive if deployed on the cloud.""The stability must be improved.""Their pricing structure is always a big topic. It's so difficult to understand."

More Amazon S3 Glacier Cons →

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security.""Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity.""The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
