We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage Nearline based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."My company uses Amazon S3 by default for every single project. I like that you can use it for storing different file formats. Amazon S3 is also the easiest to use compared to other solutions."
"S3 is well suited for both big and little data repositories of objects ranging from backup to archive to active video images and much more."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"The product is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the performance and hibernation data options. Additionally, there is a feature that provides faster website access that is helpful."
"Amazon S3 is a storage bucket service with good stability."
"The main aspect we like is that it's been easy to use."
"Amazon S3 has multiple types of data detection. You can store data on a monthly basis, yearly basis, and long term basis."
"It provides the necessary support and flexibility to manage data storage effectively, especially during times of variable data flow."
"I find the flexibility in storing documents or data and the ease of retrieval valuable with this solution."
"It can isolate files and stop them from corrupting other files."
"Google is always introducing new features and tends to have a new release every month."
"The capacity and space on offer are excellent."
"Nearline is highly stable."
"The most valuable feature of Nearline is the access. It's helpful to move data that is generated once a month, such as salary information, to Nearline."
"The data structure and the types of data that are supported are very good."
"The security model can be improved as it is a bit confusing."
"The solution could improve by having a simpler way to have the detail size of a file in the CLI to be read or understood easier. Today, it's a little raw in the way the details are presented. You have to make some scripts and some modifications to be able to see the information properly of the size of a given bucket or the size of a file."
"The support is better than other cloud providers but sometimes it takes a while to have a resolution to our issues."
"I didn't find the user interface very friendly."
"In the next release, I think that it would be good to have wizards that would update into specific applications, for example, a one-touch configuration in Pagemaker."
"If a certain resource is left unchecked, you can easily use a lot of it and drive up costs."
"Amazon S3 needs to simplify the backup features."
"The upload speed for data and documents is sometimes slow."
"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools."
"They should provide more options or flexibility in terms of pricing."
"The suggestion for improvement primarily revolves around cost efficiency."
"They need a better, more visual, user interface for folders and files."
"The UI could be a little bit more effective."
"The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved."
"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."
"The pricing is quite high."
