Provides really good documentation so that information is easily accessible
When we opened a ticket for AWS Storage Gateway, the support team was responsive but could not resolve the issue. When we sent a file from MOVEit to AWS Storage Gateway, it sent the file twice. We were not able to figure out why it was doing it. In the AWS S3 bucket, you will find an option called versioning. If a file is sent multiple times, the versioning feature will increase the version one by one. For example, if I send the same file thrice, it will have version one, version two, and the original file. Likewise, they have the versioning. Whenever we send file one, the files are getting duplicated. When we opened a ticket, even the AWS team could not figure it out. They just told us the configuration might be wrong on the AWS Storage Gateway side, and we need to look at it. After that, we also did not follow up because the destination team changed the architecture on their end. Instead of running the Lambda function immediately when the file arrived, they added a sleep time of four to five minutes and then started processing the file.
Roberto Guzman - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable, stable solution with good tech support and good ROI
I think the most important thing to consider is the complexity of the organization's distribution of user data. For example, some organizations have three, four, five, or more servers, so it's most important to think about how they are going to handle the migration of those servers to HCP Anywhere Edge. I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution gives us the ability to move large amounts of data to the cloud and it gives us on-premises connectivity. Additionally, the storage can be shared from the cloud to on-premise."
"The solution has low latency."
"We like the flexibility and easy-to-use storage. I'm happy about the response time."
"AWS Storage Gateway is used when there's a high requirement for storage and the company has their goal to move to the cloud and they are not comfortable having it in the data centers. They want the data to move to the cloud. We propose storage services that give them flexibility. They don't have to manage their data centers by themselves because it is being managed by Amazon or Microsoft. They do not have to worry about security and vulnerability issues. That is a strategy that companies can find value in and choose a cloud service."
"The most valuable feature is that it requires less utilization of space, compared to storing directly to the database of the system. It offers a unique way of doing things."
"AWS Storage Gateway's best feature is its secure storage."
"AWS Storage Gateway is very customer friendly in terms of their features, though perhaps not in price."
"AWS Storage Gateway has durability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used for manually attaching storage."
 

Cons

"Its interface could be easier to use."
"The solution's setup is not easy and takes time to complete."
"When we opened a ticket for AWS Storage Gateway, the support team was responsive but could not resolve the issue."
"I cannot say it's perfect."
"A data pipeline tool would be more beneficial for data authentication and DataOps."
"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"AWS Storage Gateway's cost can be an issue."
"AWS Storage Gateway could improve by having different kinds of storage. For example, allowing all kinds of data, whether it's images or structure, not structure data. This would be great."
"There is room for improvement in the administration of the users' files and information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a monthly subscription for the use of this solution."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We pay a monthly license."
"Licensing is paid monthly. Pricing is in the mid-range - not too high or too low."
"My company needs to get monthly licenses to use the tool."
"AWS Storage Gateway is reasonably priced. The price depends on how much you need. The whole synopse model comes into the picture for the cloud where it depends on how many instances per VM and the price will increase. It's a reasonable price because with all the competition around the price has to be competitive. It's not very costly."
