Provides really good documentation so that information is easily accessible
When we opened a ticket for AWS Storage Gateway, the support team was responsive but could not resolve the issue. When we sent a file from MOVEit to AWS Storage Gateway, it sent the file twice. We were not able to figure out why it was doing it. In the AWS S3 bucket, you will find an option called versioning. If a file is sent multiple times, the versioning feature will increase the version one by one. For example, if I send the same file thrice, it will have version one, version two, and the original file. Likewise, they have the versioning. Whenever we send file one, the files are getting duplicated. When we opened a ticket, even the AWS team could not figure it out. They just told us the configuration might be wrong on the AWS Storage Gateway side, and we need to look at it. After that, we also did not follow up because the destination team changed the architecture on their end. Instead of running the Lambda function immediately when the file arrived, they added a sleep time of four to five minutes and then started processing the file.

A scalable, stable solution with good tech support and good ROI
I think the most important thing to consider is the complexity of the organization's distribution of user data. For example, some organizations have three, four, five, or more servers, so it's most important to think about how they are going to handle the migration of those servers to HCP Anywhere Edge. I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability is probably the most valuable aspect of the product."
"It's a cloud storage solution, which makes it quite flexible. If you have one terabyte today and need ten tomorrow, it's not a problem."
"The solution has low latency."
"The solution's most valuable features stem from its ease of use, including how easy it is to set up, configure, and manage the tool."
"The most effective features are the asynchronous server functionality, which improves latency and stabilization. I also like the distributed data capabilities for data management."
"The most valuable feature is that it requires less utilization of space, compared to storing directly to the database of the system. It offers a unique way of doing things."
"We like the flexibility and easy-to-use storage. I'm happy about the response time."
"Generally, I use AWS Storage Gateway to reduce the cost of the S3 and caching."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used for manually attaching storage."
 

Cons

"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"AWS Storage Gateway could improve by having different kinds of storage. For example, allowing all kinds of data, whether it's images or structure, not structure data. This would be great."
"When we opened a ticket for AWS Storage Gateway, the support team was responsive but could not resolve the issue."
"Pricing is an area of concern, and it can always be improved no matter what it is."
"A data pipeline tool would be more beneficial for data authentication and DataOps."
"Its interface could be easier to use."
"AWS Storage Gateway's cost can be an issue."
"There is room for improvement in the administration of the users' files and information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a monthly subscription for the use of this solution."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"My company needs to get monthly licenses to use the tool."
"Licensing is paid monthly. Pricing is in the mid-range - not too high or too low."
"We pay a monthly license."
"AWS Storage Gateway is reasonably priced. The price depends on how much you need. The whole synopse model comes into the picture for the cloud where it depends on how many instances per VM and the price will increase. It's a reasonable price because with all the competition around the price has to be competitive. It's not very costly."
