We performed a comparison between Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Glacier, and Google Cloud Storage Nearline based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google and others in Public Cloud Storage Services."The users have nothing to worry about as the solution is well established."
"The storage factor and data extraction are faster because we can use Redshift for extraction."
"We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive."
"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."
"Amazon S3 is easy to use and it is beneficial to use the CLI to make the backups. Since I use the CLI I do not have to do it on a web portal which is a big advantage because everything can be automatized. Automation can be done very well in Amazon S3."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"Uploads are secure and occur instantly."
"The solution is good and includes all the features we expect."
"We like that the price is cheaper."
"The solution is great for storing data you don't usually need access to. It's also well-integrated with Amazon S3."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a very cheap storage, where we store infrequently used data."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool is simple to use and not very expensive."
"Amazon S3 Glacier can integrate seamlessly with other AWS services."
"The solution is stable."
"It provides the necessary support and flexibility to manage data storage effectively, especially during times of variable data flow."
"It can isolate files and stop them from corrupting other files."
"The capacity and space on offer are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Nearline is the access. It's helpful to move data that is generated once a month, such as salary information, to Nearline."
"Nearline is highly stable."
"The data structure and the types of data that are supported are very good."
"I find the flexibility in storing documents or data and the ease of retrieval valuable with this solution."
"Google is always introducing new features and tends to have a new release every month."
"The solution needs to improve test recognition."
"Maybe they need to expand their range of physical locations."
"The solution's pricing should be modified to automatically expand storage based on prior usage."
"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."
"In the next release, I think that it would be good to have wizards that would update into specific applications, for example, a one-touch configuration in Pagemaker."
"The cost of the solution should be reduced."
"The security model can be improved as it is a bit confusing."
"Amazon S3 should have more frequent updates."
"The product’s pricing must be improved."
"The tool could be made cheaper."
"The learning curve is very high."

"The pricing is quite high."
"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools."
"The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved."
"The solution needs to offer better System Information and Event Management (SEIM). I'd like to discover how we could implement something like that within Google's cloud."
"The UI could be a little bit more effective."
"They should provide more options or flexibility in terms of pricing."
"They need a better, more visual, user interface for folders and files."
