We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Amazon S3 Glacier based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The multi-zone replication is great."
"The solution is good and includes all the features we expect."
"You don't have to specify your clone, availability clone, or your locations. Everything's over there. They have a receipt for the instance where we have to select the exact location of what we are clicking. The S3 storage capacity is high, and the price is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature is the storage."
"The product helps to define storage type based on the requirement."
"It's good for starting up because you only pay for what you use."
"We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive."
"The solution's peak-up time is good."
"It is the most feature-rich platform."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a very cheap storage, where we store infrequently used data."
"The tool is simple to use and not very expensive."
"The biggest advantage of the product is that AWS always copies the tool internally."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is great for storing data you don't usually need access to. It's also well-integrated with Amazon S3."
"The main advantage of Glacier is its low cost. It is incredibly cheaper than other storage options, especially for objects you don't access frequently. Glacier would add value if you have a staging area for objects you only need to access occasionally. Since we have data in terabytes between S3 buckets, we can significantly reduce our storage and cost footprint by using Glacier."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a highly stable solution."
"The solution requires you to buy and use Amazon services."
"The solution's pricing should be modified to automatically expand storage based on prior usage."
"Amazon S3 could improve some of the features, such as indexing, or we should have more information about all the data stored in a single place. This way we can see what data resides where instead of going in different buckets, file locations manually, or searching. An index would be nice, allowing us to directly go to a location to use the date."
"The solution needs to improve test recognition."
"The solution's data transfer speed could be improved."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"I would like there to be more support without needing to use Transfer Family."
"Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller."
"The solution's cloud storage is very expensive, and users may not be able to afford cloud storage."
"They should increase the data limit for the free version or reduce the price."
"The solution's cost optimization could be improved."
"The product needs to improve cloud security."
"I am unsure if the product provides good integration capabilities. From an improvement perspective, I want the tool to provide easier integration features."
"The learning curve is very high."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a cheaper tool if you're running it on-prem, but it is expensive if deployed on the cloud."
