We performed a comparison between Amazon Virtual Private Cloud and Zadara based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Compute Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a very stable product...Amazon Virtual Private Cloud gives you security."
"I recommend introducing Amazon VPC to others as it provides an excellent entry-level understanding of cloud computing and its relevance in today's world."
"The documentation is very clear."
"With an AWS virtual private cloud, you're in charge of what you use. It's pay-as-you-go."
"One important tool we use is Transit Gateway, which helps connect different parts of our network. We also use Internet Gateways, NAT Gateways, and Route Tables to ensure our applications run smoothly on AWS. While most people use these basics, some specialized tools, like Transit Gateway, are useful for specific needs."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The best feature is that you can run your servers directly on Amazon's premises, and have access to the internet without Amazon utilizing your own internet connection in your office."
"Amazon Virtual Private Cloud isolates networks and offers robust network security. It also adds two network security layers."
"Zadara Storage Cloud having 24/7 management saves me support and engineering costs because the storage and computing are managed by a third-party. We are able to focus more attention on the customer, which is truly our core business. Even at 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM at night, someone will answer, which is important."
"A nice feature is the immutable object storage, which can be used in conjunction with Veeam."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in terms of deployment options."
"Being able to scale on demand, and being able to get out of our security operation center, and not having to purchase hardware upfront, has drastically reduced the overhead that was required to maintain our information. We have also gained additional capabilities in terms of speed of replicating that information."
"The most valuable feature of Zadara is its ease of use and safety. Overall the solution is a complete package, it has all the features needed."
"One of the most useful features is that they provide iSCSI as a service."
"The processing is much faster with this product."
"The most valuable features of Zadara are its visibility and simplicity to use."
"There is always room for improvement. It can be in support."
"When we create instances without public IP, the paid services provided by the solution, NAT gateway, are costly."
"There are some differences in the route tables between public and private subnets, which is something that is not properly documented."
"The solution could improve its price."
"In Amazon VPC, there's room for improvement. For example, when we create security groups, I think we should be able to restrict outgoing traffic to secured websites. I know there's a method to restrict that, but we should also be able to design outgoing traffic restrictions at the system level. We should use that to deny ports instead of relying solely on network access controls at the subnet level."
"You should be able to toggle off some cloud services when you don't need them and switch them on when necessary."
"Billing and technical support should be better. There is a steep learning curve as well."
"Increasing the subnet count could be an improvement."
"In the next release, there can be some improvements to the web console by adding more features because the console is simple. Additionally, the calculator could improve."
"There are still some storage features that they lack. For example, other vendors implemented the auto-tiering feature a long time ago, while Zadara Storage Cloud is just coming out with this feature today. So, they are a little bit late compared to the market."
"The management interface is more geared towards end-users rather than a service partner like ourselves, and there are improvements that can be made around that."
"I would like to see them be a little bit more proactive in terms of the patches and updates that are available. I would like to see more disclosure and information around what fixes or what enhancements are available within a patch, and help in coordinating and scheduling that. Right now, it's driven more by the customer in reaching out via a support ticket."
"Having iSCSI over the internet using a VPN, the IPSec tunnel is really the only thing that I find missing from this product."
"Cost-wise, because it's a pay-per-use model, it may ultimately end up costing us more in the long run than something we developed ourselves."
"Some of the features are a little bit slow to come to market."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
