A cost-effective solution to reduce storage and cost footprint

Pros

"The main advantage of Glacier is its low cost. It is incredibly cheaper than other storage options, especially for objects you don't access frequently. Glacier would add value if you have a staging area for objects you only need to access occasionally. Since we have data in terabytes between S3 buckets, we can significantly reduce our storage and cost footprint by using Glacier. "

Cons

"Technical support needs improvement. Previously, even though we had premium and enterprise support, the response time would be quicker if we ran into issues, but now it is slowed down. The analytical dashboard feature, like the CloudOps dashboard, should be included in the next release of the Amazon S3 Glacier."

A scalable and easy-to-manage solution that can be used for storage purposes

Pros

"Amazon S3 Glacier is a scalable and easy-to-manage solution with good read-write capability."

Cons

"The solution's dashboard is a bit complicated and could be improved."
