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.
Roberto Guzman - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"AWS Storage Gateway's best feature is its secure storage."
"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 stability is probably the most valuable aspect of the product."
"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."
"AWS Storage Gateway is used when there's a high requirement for storage and the company has their goal to move to the cloud and they are not comfortable having it in the data centers. They want the data to move to the cloud. We propose storage services that give them flexibility. They don't have to manage their data centers by themselves because it is being managed by Amazon or Microsoft. They do not have to worry about security and vulnerability issues. That is a strategy that companies can find value in and choose a cloud service."
"We like the flexibility and easy-to-use storage. I'm happy about the response time."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used for manually attaching storage."
 

Cons

"We've had issues with bandwidth in the past, and we don't know where the bottlenecks are. We're not sure if it's on the AWS side or with the clients or the configuration in between. There's no visibility."
"It would be better for us if they improved their integration capability."
"The security could improve in the solution."
"A data pipeline tool would be more beneficial for data authentication and DataOps."
"Data migration and collection could be made easier for improvements - there's still work to be done there."
"Its interface could be easier to use."
"Pricing is an area of concern, and it can always be improved no matter what it is."
"Initial setup could be simplified and that would make the user experience better."
"There is room for improvement in the administration of the users' files and information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a monthly license."
"There is a monthly subscription for the use of this solution."
"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."
"Licensing is paid monthly. Pricing is in the mid-range - not too high or too low."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"My company needs to get monthly licenses to use the tool."
