Find out what your peers are saying about Nasuni, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Panzura and others in Cloud Storage Gateways."Generally, I use AWS Storage Gateway to reduce the cost of the S3 and caching."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Storage Gateway's best feature is its secure storage."
"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 stability is probably the most valuable aspect of the product."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Scalability is very good."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Its interface could be easier to use."
"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"AWS Storage Gateway's cost can be an issue."
"We've had issues with bandwidth in the past, and we don't know where the bottlenecks are. We're not sure if it's on the AWS side or with the clients or the configuration in between. There's no visibility."
"The solution's setup is not easy and takes time to complete."
"It would be better for us if they improved their integration capability."
"A data pipeline tool would be more beneficial for data authentication and DataOps."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
