Storage Gateway AWS

  • November 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It´s easy to integrate, and usability is very intuitive; authorization for different levels and different services is made on the fly through defined roles or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at all, just the first time access is a little slow, but for continuous use, it provides reasonable response times, and latency is excellent; in fact, the delay is not detectable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Access data instantly with very low latency and virtually unlimited storage; I can store images files, huge volumes with a very efficient data transfer mechanism.

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to maintain and store any type of data files, you can also use this as a static website and share a public IP with it.
Its very cheap as compared to any other cloud storage in the market
What do you dislike about the product?
AWS S3 should do proper marketing to target relevant customers, like Dropbox - Google Storage - Mircosoft are doing, I think if they do proper marketing they can change the market dynamics
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Uploading data into the cloud is Safe, Reliable and at the same time easy to access. It's easily scalable, durable and secure, the best part is you just download the AWS Deployment tool to your local machine and use all the features of Storage cloud on your local machine.

Best Storage service and gateway -AWS

  • October 05, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy configuration and management. Using cache it can work faster and for security purpose its use SSL. Tape, S3, File and volume gateway setup on AWS is the easy part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Storage gateway setup in on-premises is a little bit difficult for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using S3 and solved many real-time issues. Like Avabilitties, Latency and storage space. We have configured with web-mobile based app and we are storing all data in S3. Working fantastic currently.
For Backup purposes also we are using S3 and very easy to configure automation using CLI and lifecycle.

Product Works well in hybrid environments. Easy to setup and configure

  • October 01, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about this service is the easy low cost secure. It has all of your storage needs and you know everything is securely backed up. Allowing clients access via AWS S3 to only their files is important. Confidentiality unpins my business. I also store all my course modules on AWS, this allows me to know the course content I produce is not sitting on a website or other platform - everything links with one click.
What do you dislike about the product?
Remembering not everyone is an IT person - could be more user friendly. I am technical so it's easy to understand but maybe more challenging for those standard users so sometimes you have to dumb down the technical jargon on the site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AWS storage gateway provides this service for high availability and low latency. It is good for items such as being good for data backup solutions, S3 attachments to traditional servers and relatively easy to manage once it is configured and setup.

AWS Storage Gateway easy way to share storage workload to cloud

  • August 27, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It gives a hybrid environment for data storage wherein you can store your data in a cloud environment from your datacenter/application.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing such dislikes but If it can have any tool integration for faster data transfer feature(May incur some cost for it) it would be little better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have an on-premise application that stores data into the cloud, so we used this service to perform data transfer seamlessly.

  • August 26, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
AWS S3 backs AWS Storage service; I use it to keep all my videos and photos on this. it provides access to those files from anywhere and that too with very low latency.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's bit costlier compared to other products in the Market, but the AWS ecosystem compatibility provides a great addition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using AWS Storage Gateway for storing all my files as after I started using this, I never have to think of a Storage limit anymore. The compatibility of this with other AWS Services provides a great addition to those who are using AWS Services.

Needs clarity on Documentation

Storage Gateway works when configured properly, BUT the documentations are not clear. There are different types of Storage Gateway to choose from and it gets confusing when the documents does not specify each options.
