Flexible, seamless, and scalable document storage with AI and analytics integration, providing reliable support
The solution is very flexible in terms of scalability. It is an online service, so we can scale it anytime with some pre-planning. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. As for the users using this solution in our organization, that varies according to what time of the day and what day it is, but it goes around 2,000 to 3,000 users. The maximum is about 3,000. On average, it stays somewhere between 2,000 and 1,800.
PriyankShrivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement
There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nearline is highly stable."
"It provides the necessary support and flexibility to manage data storage effectively, especially during times of variable data flow."
"The best part of Nearline storage is the ability to take backups at optimal costs and its availability across multiple regions."
"The most valuable aspect of Google Cloud Storage Nearline is its integration with the wider Google Cloud ecosystem."
"The data structure and the types of data that are supported are very good."
"I find the flexibility in storing documents or data and the ease of retrieval valuable with this solution."
"Google is always introducing new features and tends to have a new release every month."
"The capacity and space on offer are excellent."
"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."
"I am totally satisfied with it."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."
"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"When comparing Oracle Cloud Object Storage with Azure Object Storage, Oracle Cloud Object Storage is the superior solution, with better data encryption, implementation, and performance, which is notably faster."
"The security features of Oracle Cloud Object Storage are reliable, as they have implemented security measures at each layer."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
 

Cons

"The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved."
"The UI could be a little bit more effective."
"The solution needs to offer better System Information and Event Management (SEIM). I'd like to discover how we could implement something like that within Google's cloud."
"From a storage standpoint, it would be beneficial if the retrieval cost could be optimized, as it is comparatively higher than storage costs in Nearline."
"One area that needs improvement is the documentation, which I find to be disorganized and not user-friendly."
"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools."
"They should provide more options or flexibility in terms of pricing."
"One area that needs improvement is the documentation, which I find to be disorganized and not user-friendly."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."
"The retrievability for Oracle Cloud Object Storage could be made simpler through the implementation of a GUI interface to retrieve data."
"We have support but haven't had a reason to use the backup and recovery features."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."
"The first time setup for Oracle Cloud Object Storage is a little bit complex, but after implementation, there is no complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Cloud Storage Nearline is very inexpensive. It costs us less than $50 a month to store our files. We use approximately 10 terabytes. Overall, I would rate the product a five out of five for affordability."
"Right now, for the number of servers and the storage that I have, I would say I'm charged between $125 and $150 per month."
"We have a yearly subscription for the product."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."
