We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage 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."We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive."
"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."
"The solution easily connects with the cloud, hardware, or other services to move data."
"The product helps to define storage type based on the requirement."
"The versioning of this solution for accidental deletion has been most valuable."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon S3 is its versioning feature. I also like that you can create pre-signed URLs on the solution."
"The most valuable features are unlimited storage, scalability, and performance."
"The most valuable features of the Amazon S3 are its ease of use and integration"
"It's user-friendly. We find it to be very easy to use."
"What I like about this program, is that it's quite fast, because you pay for your usage."
"It's easy to use."
"It's easy to use."
"It is seamlessly integrated with your Android. There’s no fuss, no hassle."
"Its performance and security features are valuable."
"One of the most valuable features of the solution is its ease of use."
"Google Cloud Storage is highly reliable."
"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."
"A feature that should be included is to find and provide a HIPPA compliant solution for the Presigned URL."
"The cost of the solution should be reduced."
"The security model can be improved as it is a bit confusing."
"The solution requires you to buy and use Amazon services."
"You need to fully understand the solution's best practices to get the most out of its security features."
"The solution could improve by having a simpler way to have the detail size of a file in the CLI to be read or understood easier. Today, it's a little raw in the way the details are presented. You have to make some scripts and some modifications to be able to see the information properly of the size of a given bucket or the size of a file."
"Amazon S3 could improve the limitation on how much data can be stored."
"While the solution seems to be secure, I worry that, with the cloud, there is a chance of hacking. It would be ideal if they could be more transparent about the processes they go through to keep our data secure in the cloud and on their systems."
"The implementation is not as easy as Microsoft, and the process could be improved."
"The solution could improve by adding an automatic removal of duplications feature."
"It was not easy to reach the storage because there were different network zones."
"The solution must provide some accessibility features."
"The problem I face right now is that my data warehouse is being hosted on Google Cloud, however, integration between Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure is a big problem."
"I would like more storage available."
"Its security should be better from the data security point of view. It should be more secure, and it should get tightly integrated with products such as Google Docs and Google Sheets. Microsoft covers different kinds of tools such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel."
