All security depends on the use case and how the customer has protected their data. Every feature can be in the product, whether it is AWS Storage Gateway, Cohesity, Rubrik, or any other provider. However, they rely on the customer to turn it on and utilize it appropriately. The solution requires either a consulting engagement that manages all the settings over time or someone on site who understands it and keeps it working properly. Every time something is built, bad actors find a way to manipulate it. It is a constantly evolving process to keep data secure. The NIST guidelines change often because the landscape changes frequently. AWS Storage Gateway is adequate. For those experienced in the space trying to move data, it is sufficient though not super easy to use. The approach from AWS Storage Gateway involves providing specialized tools for specific needs. AWS always creates multiple iterations of their tools, which may appear unnecessarily complex, but is a customer-centric philosophy intended to provide the right tool for specific use cases. AWS strives to give users the right tool rather than making them click through irrelevant options. Regarding pricing, technical decisions are rarely based on price alone. Technology Companies (as a whole) set their prices appropriately, and margins do not vary significantly between companies for similar products. Any significant price differences usually indicate technical differences or configuration issues rather than price gouging.
The solution's storage setup is easy. AWS Storage Gateway is good and does not cause any issues. We can easily send and receive files to the S3 bucket through AWS Storage Gateway. Since we are using the cloud, there should not be any latency issues. I would recommend the solution to users who will use the cloud. They can look into it if they want or choose other service providers. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I have developed some Python scripts for data archiving. We used to do it through our own script because the skeleton of the data is very different. I want to understand how we can use AWS's data build tool. A data pipeline tool would be more beneficial for data authentication and DataOps. Data, like real-time or market-driven data, comes from different sources. All this data needs to be more structured so that the application can query and benefit from it. The solution's performance is good. Different kinds of data come from multiple sources, and some analyses are performed on them. Because of using the data, we are used to giving insights into the requirements of our business solutions. So, a lot of things depend on our product. I can see how everything works because of the code of conduct. Overall, the cloud makes it easier to design architecture-level things. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

From my perspective, it's better than the traditional way of having a physical server. It is much better than our previous solution. I know there are a lot of similar products like this but as it's in the cloud, I can say that it's much better for any company to have their system or their databases housed in cloud. Big and small companies big have to start migrating their systems. Especially during lockdown, it is much easier for us to work from the cloud, if the employees don't have access to an on-site system or the office. It makes it a lot easier to work from home. It's better if your software is in the cloud. I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because I cannot say that it's perfect.
Our organization works with an Amazon partner as preferred services consultants. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If there was more visibility into where issues originated when we had bandwidth problems, I'd give it a higher mark simply because it would help us better handle the issues we sometimes have. Also, because I'm not maintaining or configuring it myself, it's hard for me to fully gauge how well the product operates. However, I do find the solution to be quite flexible and it is evolving quickly. I'd warn others considering implementing it to follow the proper training and make sure it is configured properly.
We implement both on-premise and in the cloud. There is room for improvement in the product, especially with the setup process which is not simple. I would rate this product a seven out of 10.
AWS Storage Gateway provides hybrid cloud storage services that give users access to unlimited cloud storage. As a part of the Amazon Web Services, one of the leading on-demand cloud computing platforms, the AWS Storage Gateway allows you to use the AWS storage without the need to rewrite your applications. It does this by providing protocols like iSCSI, NFS, and SMB. It works by caching frequently accessed data on premises and simultaneously storing data on AWS, as well as optimizing data...
