We performed a comparison between AWS Storage Gateway and NetApp AltaVault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage Gateways solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AWS Storage Gateway has durability."
"AWS Storage Gateway's best feature is its secure storage."
"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."
"We like the flexibility and easy-to-use storage. I'm happy about the response time."
"The stability is probably the most valuable aspect of the product."
"It's a cloud storage solution, which makes it quite flexible. If you have one terabyte today and need ten tomorrow, it's not a problem."
"The solution has low latency."
"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."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"You can store backups for a while."
"It's so easy to work with."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"AWS Storage Gateway's cost can be an issue."
"It would be better for us if they improved their integration capability."
"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."
"Its interface could be easier to use."
"I cannot say it's perfect."
"The solution's setup is not easy and takes time to complete."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
