The solution helped us to meet our compliance needs. We use Amazon S3 Glacier as a platform as a Service (PaaS). If you have a virtual server, you can create a copy of the solution on an entire virtual machine. In case it goes down or someone messes with the configurations, you could just easily activate the copy.

Amazon S3 Glacier is expensive as far as virtual machines and data storage are concerned. That's why I minimized the data storage as much as possible. Two to three people are required for the solution's deployment and maintenance. They need to have a proper understanding of each different environment where the solution needs to be deployed.

Amazon S3 Glacier works like OneDrive, and it's straightforward to upload or download from it. I would recommend the solution to other users. Hosting static websites is straightforward, but you need a specialist to guide you to deploy dynamic websites on Amazon S3 Glacier.

The user experience must be improved. The product must have a feature similar to Azure Storage Explorer. The product must not rely on third-party providers.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten.

The tool is more focused on a one-to-one connection. It's not server-focused. It is for front-end users to make it easy for people to store and access S3. Around 20 people in our organization use the product. We use the tool on a daily basis.

We also use Azure Blob Storage.

The initial setup is very easy. We just have to install a small application on our desktop. We do not need the help of a technical team.

It's easy to share data between people. It's geared towards large datasets. SharePoint is for smaller files. However, Amazon S3 Glacier is for uploading and downloading a lot of data.

The product is very cheap.

We get two versions of the solutions. The amount of data we can upload on the free version is limited. The Pro version has more bandwidth. I recommend using the Pro version for more flexibility and speed. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I use Amazon S3 Glacier for archival storage of data.

We use the solution for storage. We store photos, attachments, and different objects.

You need a strategic approach. You also need to consider the technical abilities of the person utilizing the platform to fully understand it. 

Some things are learned as you use the platform. You need to consider what you want to store, how long you will store it, and its usefulness. You need to have a proper storage plan. While understanding the platform is crucial, you must also understand the business side because you must pay for the licenses and storage you use. It's about balancing the technical and business aspects of the tool.

Amazon S3 Glacier is easy to use. The platform is straightforward, and the interfaces are user-friendly and responsive. Even with a limited budget, you can train someone without an AWS certification to use it. With on-the-job training, you can ensure they understand what needs to be done to use the service.

The cost can be lower. Sometimes, users may access the platform, advertise it, and then receive a bill they cannot afford. It would be helpful if there were a policy where a budget owner could understand the costs associated with storing data and approve expenditures based on the project budget. Due to the retrieval options, SMMEs may be ignorant of the costs and cannot afford the platform.

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability as ten out of ten.

It's pretty scalable. Yeah, it has potential if you have a demand, and they can meet it. They are perfect on their end, but you must also protect your infrastructure and data. There are some shortfalls or pitfalls that you need to ensure that you cover.

I rate the solution's scalability as ten out of ten.

It works perfectly if you start to chat. You learn these things as you use it because it involves technical ability, pricing, and ensuring that you comply with government requirements.

Despite the speed limitations, the Amazon S3 Glacier performs well. As long as you have a network and store your data within your region, the data centers within EMA are quite responsive regarding data retrieval.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

The solution is used to store data.

The biggest advantage of the product is that AWS always copies the tool internally. So, we have two or three copies of our data. We’re pretty sure that once it's uploaded, it's available. We can move it to less expensive storage if we don't use it. The way of working is very intelligent. It's very useful.

It's up to us to decide how many copies we need and how frequently we want to make copies. Whether we want a fast or slow disk, cheap or expensive, it’s up to us as architects. We have a lot of choices. It's a product that has been working for a very long time. Most remarks from customers have been dealt with. Everything a customer could want is available.

The tool could be made cheaper. We always need the internet to access the tool. If our network goes down, we cannot access the information.

I have been using the solution for five to six years.

We do not have any issues with the product’s stability. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The tool’s scalability is very good. We have no problems with it. We have 4000 to 5000 users. The solution is used regularly. We have plans to increase the usage in the future.

The product is cloud-based. The setup is very easy. The deployment took ten minutes. It’s very fast. To deploy the product, we must select the type of disk we need, create the interface to our account, and then start using it. It is very straightforward and very easy. The solution is so easy that we do not need any technical people.

The solution costs around 9 cents per data forum per month. The tool is very cheap.

It's a good product. We must remember that it's already been copied two or three times by AWS. We don't need to set up a copy ourselves. It is a big advantage. We can try to separate our data between different regions. So, if one region goes down, we still have our data in another. It’s a good practice.

We can't improve the product without increasing the cost. People can use two or three S3s to make it more secure. However, forcing all users into the same setup is not in AWS's best interest. There’s an advantage in going to the cloud. If an organization needs big security and has well-trained people, they can implement it. However, a very small company that doesn’t need that security won't pay for it.

Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.
