We performed a comparison between Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Glacier, and Microsoft Azure File Storage 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."It's good for starting up because you only pay for what you use."
"We can store incremental data and get high availability and fault tolerance."
"The most valuable feature is the storage."
"I've also used Azure's tool, and S3 is far more stable I haven't seen the same issues on AWS that I'm having on Azure. Amazon CloudFront is way faster. The websites are loading way faster than when you do it on Azure CDN."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"Set up a performance and stress-based test suite to measure the endurance of a web application on Amazon AWS cloud system using S3 as the back-end storage infrastructure."
"This solution is good at storing historical data and we were using it for other purposes."
"An important feature of the Amazon S3's system is that it offers encryption while the files are at rest. This is crucial in ensuring the security of the files being restored and addressing potential security risks. That's what I would emphasize."
"The data archive feature is valuable."
"Amazon S3 Glacier is a scalable and easy-to-manage solution with good read-write capability."
"We save money with the product."
"The product automatically replicates objects from a S3 bucket in one region to another bucket in a different region."
"The solution is secure."
"It is a very comprehensive tool."
"Data retrieval, security, compliance, and storage archiving are the most valuable features of Amazon S3 Glacier."
"The pricing is low, and it's dedicated to archiving is valuable to us."
"The solution is user-friendly and integrates easily with web apps."
"The immutable storage features are valuable."
"It was quick to synchronize back from Azure to the on-premise server."
"This solution supports all file formats."
"The solution can scale to fit any requirement."
"It is a very scalable solution. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten."
"It helps us with geo-redundancy."
"Very user-friendly and intuitive."
"Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller."
"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."
"Maybe they need to expand their range of physical locations."
"The free web and DB hosting could be improved. It could be faster when you download huge files from the S3 bucket to your local system. If the S3 bucket availability and performance could be improved, we would consider hosting our database over there."
"Maybe it could be a bit cheaper."
"I would like to see an easier setup that doesn't require as much training."
"The read drive speed is not as fast as it should be."
"I would like a batch downloading option added to the AWS console."
"They can improve data discovery."
"Billing issues can be a nightmare. It's tough reaching the right person to get them sorted out."
"They should increase the data limit for the free version or reduce the price."
"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."
"The user experience must be improved."
"Although Amazon S3 Glacier is cheap, its data retrieval cost is very high compared to other solutions."
"The solution's pricing is too expensive and could be improved."
"The tool could be made cheaper."
"The product must provide better security functions."
"In our use cases, we see the weakness in mobile internet connectivity."
"Maybe Microsoft can make it more economical because it is a costly affair."
"It would be helpful if we could remove data that we don't frequently access to reduce the cost of the storage."
"The integration of the site storage with SQL was not completely seamless."
"Microsoft Azure File Storage is not that easy to use."
"The pricing and technical support could be better."
"The provider needs to collect more information about the products."
