"Data archiving made simpler with AWS s3 glacier."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon S3 Glacier?

Amazon s3 glacier is used for data archiving, I have been using it since 2 years now, it's very convinient to use and the best part is it offers flexibility to choose retriving method and you pay based on the speed you desire for retrieval, It's quite easy to use all you have to do is create a s3 glacier valt and then you can start storing data objects, whithout any doubt amazon web services provide best in class customer support, I use it only once in a while as archived files are not needed on regular bases. It's very easy to use you can use third party software as well like fastGlacier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon S3 Glacier?

s3 can be a bit confusing for people using it for the first time as it offered multiple methods for retrival and all of them have different cost out of all expedited method provides the fastest retrieval of file and takes only 1-5 mins while bulk method is the cheapest but offers data retriaval in 5-12 hours. So before retreaving data user must be aware about all the plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Long term Data Storage - S3"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon S3 Glacier?

Amazon S3 Glaciers is my good cloud storage partner. Since we work on large datasets daily, we need a secure and cost-effective way to store all those data. So, we use Amazon S3 Glaciers. We usually keep our old repository of data on S3 glaciers, which is the data we don't require more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon S3 Glacier?

The data retrieval fees stated by Amazon are high for large datasets or if we need more data in less time. The pricing can be lower since it is only a basic storage system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, cheap compliance"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon S3 Glacier?

Glacier integrates right into S3 as a storage class so you can move backups to long term cold storage right inside of S3! It couldn't be much simpler get get cheap cold storage integrated into either AWS Backup or with native S3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon S3 Glacier?

Configuration is required, but it's not a heavy lift if you're already familiar with AWS Services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think S3 Glacier really comes handy when dealing with backups, not necesarilly for backups that are used often. Let's say that you want to clear some space from your primary backup storage and keep some key backups, that's your go to feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon S3 Glacier?

There is nothing in particular that I dislike about this service, maybe is wroth to metioned that users need to be aware of retrieval times. Remember this is a long-term storage place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
